Another Messiah - One Minute In Between Lyrics

Step towards your death
Your only claim to fame
The bullets hit you sideways
And nothing looks the same
When you lay down in the sand
The final image that you gain
You see the camera in his hands
Your fifteen minutes of fame

I took one minute just to
To realise one thing
It could have been me lying in the sand next to you
You would have liked that don’t you
For me to feel what you feel
Shot by an enemy that doesn’t even hate me

And slowly I see
You lose your life
I switch the channel and zapp you away
A gameshow’s on discussion too
I leave you lose your life and I
I just lose you

Halfway ‘cross the world
At the BBC
A committee takes one minute
For your horror just for me
This war is even better
Not the green telly
Not the usual press statement
But reality tv

I’m supposed to feel a stake drive through my heart
Instead I feel nothing
My brains tell me this is bad
I sit I eat, I watch I drink
Don’t know what it’s like to fight
I’ve seen many things on tv
There’s over thirty wars around the world
And I don’t see how that should affect me

Out of the f*ckin’ blue
The world starts to spin around
In my hands I hold dust
The earth around is red
The sound of guns surrounds me
I ask is this my land
I try to look up one more time
You’ve got a camera in your hands

If only media made you think
