        The 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...

        After much e-mailing around the world I've finally settled on the
        guitar over the verses. It's used with a harmonizer.

        Play the natural harmonics at the 5th fret at shown over the
        lyric "this time the bullet cold rocked ya"
        The last time hold the harmonics and lower the pitch using the
        tremelo arm.

        verse:

                this time the bullet cold rocked ya
                (something.like Nazi salute..) and a swastika
                nothing proper about your propaganda
                fools follow fools (rules ?) when the set commands ya

                you said it was blue
                but your blood runs red
                thats how you got a bullet blasted through your head
                blasted through your head, blasted through your head
                take a shot at the living dead

        Guitar stops - some weird tones (noises) produced
        using the pickup selector  switch and one note over the vocals.


                we stood and watched as the Feds cold centralized
                so serene on the screen had us mesmerized
                cellular phone sell me the death tone
                (something..) turn you to stone before you realise


        I'm doing this from memory now -
        and I really can't remember the next vocals


                ....
                ....
                ....
                and muthafuckers lost their minds..
