Bullet In The Head LyricsBullet In The Head This time the bullet cold rocked ya A yellow ribbon instead of a swastika Nothin' proper about ya propaganda Fools follow rules when the set commands ya Said it was blue When ya blood was read That's how ya got a bullet blasted through ya head Blasted through ya head Blasted through ya head I give a shout out to the living dead Who stood and watched as the feds cold centralised So serene on the screen You was mesmerised Cellular phones soundin' a death tone Corporations cold Turn ya to stone before ya realise They load the clip in omnicolour Said they pack the 9, they fire it at prime time The sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatraz And mutha fuckas lost their minds Just victims of the in-house drive-by They say jump, you say how high Yeah Just victims of the in-house drive-by They say jump, you say how high Run it! (Guitar solo) Just victims of the in-house drive-by They say jump, you say how high Just victims of the in-house drive-by They say jump, you say how high Check-a, check-a, check it out They load the clip in omnicolour Said they pack the 9, they fire it at prime time The sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatraz And mutha fuckas lost their minds No escape from the mass mind rape Play it again jack and then rewind the tape And then play it again and again and again Until ya mind is locked in Believin' all the lies that they're tellin' ya Buyin' all the products that they're sellin' ya They say jump and ya say how high Ya brain-dead Ya gotta fuckin' bullet in ya head Just victims of the in-house drive-by They say jump, you say how high Yeah Just victims of the in-house drive-by They say jump, you say how high Uggh! Yeah! Yea! Ya standin' in line Believin' the lies Ya bowin' down to the flag Ya gotta bullet in ya head Ya standin' in line Believin' the lies Ya bowin' down to the flag Ya gotta bullet in ya head A bullet in ya head (8 times, building to a shout) A bullet in ya head (7 times, shouted/screamed) Ya gotta bullet in ya fuckin' head! Yeah! Yeah! (Sustained to end of drum roll) Bullet In The Head By: R. Allen Canterbury (acanterb@vt.edu) Cool song. This is how I play it. Riff 1 varies a few times. Sometimes you quickly mute the --7--, sometimes you play them "arpeggio"...One time you --8-- play --------7p9--- instead of the 8/7 chord thing. ---7p9-------- USE A PICK! On Riff 3, the two mutes (XX) are basically pick clicks. It's fast, so watch out. Skip them if it's too hard. Riff 1.

(A lot of times. Some of it is just bass and drums together. Bullet In The Head By: Adrian Mayes ECD (AMAYES%ESOC.BITNET@vm.gmd.de or amayes@esoc.bitnet) Some additions by Stephen Quinlan (c2squinl@CompApp.DCU.IE) Text layout by Gaz Jones (gjones@cs.man.ac.uk) This song is basically very simple! It isn't really too much fun to play as there isn't much action going on, but here goes... The guitar over the verses is used with a harmonizer. Play the natural harmonics at the 5th fret as shown, over the lyric "This time the bullet cold rocked ya" The last time hold the harmonics and lower the pitch using the tremolo arm.
