The streets are lined with camera crews
  Everywhere he goes is news
  Today is different
  Today is not the same
  Today I make the action
  Take snapshot into the light, snapshot into the light
  I'm shooting into the light
    Four miles down the cavalcade moves on
  Driving into the sun
  If I worked it out right
  They won't see me or the gun
    Two miles to go, they're clearing the road
  The cheering has really begun
  I've got my radio
  I can hear what's going on
    I've been waiting for this
  I have been waiting for this
  All you people in TV land
  I will wake up your empty shells
  Peak-time viewing blown in a flash
  As I burn into your memory cells
  'Cos I'm alive
    They're coming 'round the corner with the bikers at the front
  I'm wiping the sweat from my eyes
  -It's a matter of time
  -It's a matter of will
  And the governor's car is not far behind
  He's not the one I've got in mind
  'Cos there he is-the man of the hour, standing in the limousine
  "I don't really hate you
  -I don't care what you do
  We were made for each other
  -Me and you
  I want to be somebody
  -You were like that too
  If you don't get given you learn to take
  And I will take you."
    Holding my breath
  Release the catch
  And I let the bullet fly
    All turned quiet-I have been here before
  Lonely boy hiding behind the front door
  Friends have all gone home
  There's my toy gun on the floor
  Come back Mum and Dad
  You're growing apart
  You know that I'm growing up sad
  I need some attention
  I shoot into the light
