Bullet 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)

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.

*Guitar enters playing "riff 3" 4 times, then bass enters:

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.
E---------------------------------------------------------------

G------5-5--5-5-5-5---------------------------------------------
D------5-5--5-5-5-5---------------------------------------------

(Stephen Quinlan suggests setting the whammy pedal on double octave,
strum the open strings once (ie no fretwork involved) and use the
toggle switch to get the desired staccato effect.)
