about

This song takes place in a nasty country where the government feed their people a diet of cruelty, injustice, and terror.

The character in this song should count himself lucky; his dad is in charge of the firing squad he is a member of. Dad always gives his son a blank round, hoping the son will retain some of the humanity he once had himself, so the son will never have to know the guilt that hangs from your soul when you have been responsible for random executions. But the son is a product of his harsh culture, an ingrate who watches too many action movies – a tad psychopathic - and he wants to know how it would feel to kill a man

The song smacks along, meshed and mashed together from loops, manic acoustic pushes, suffocatingly thick chords, and blood lust.

lyrics

My dad, he is the leader of the squad
That means he’s close to God

My dad gives everybody their shells
He thinks he does it so well

Same old bullet in the firing line
Same old bullet in the firing line
Same old bullet in the firing line
Same old bullet in the firing line

He is mistaken
He is mistaken

Same old bullet in the firing line...

Dad always gives me blanks
And for this action he wants thanks

Same old bullet in the firing line...

I wanna know how it feels
To put a good man down

He is mistaken

Same old bullet in the firing line...

Daddy thinks that I should give him thanks
Because Daddy always makes sure I get a blank

Same old bullet in the firing line...

One day, daddy, give me a live one
Let me shoot a man, let me have some fun

Same old bullet in the firing line...

I wanna know how it feels
To put a good man down

(Same old bullet in the firing line...)

I wanna know how it feels
To put a good man down

I wanna know how it feels
To put a good man down

I wanna know how it feels
To put a good man down

about

bushytunes Christmas Island

Once upon a time there was a crazy idea: to create, record and upload a musical track every day for a year. And the idea floated round and round the planet, looking for a place to call home. After a long time of searching and wishing and watching, the idea chose to make a nest in the brain of a bushy fellow, coming to his aid and guiding him out of the doldrums, back to a magical pathway... ... more
