The coolest thing about this song is that it starts off really slow (60
bpm?) And gets faster and faster and faster and faster and faster and faster
until a really fast and short guitar solo.

Lyrics:
1st Verse:
I got an idea of something we can do with a gun
Sink load and fire till the empire
Reaps what they've sown
Shoot shoot shoot till their minds are open
Shoot shoot till thei eyes are closed
Push push push till we get some motion
Push push till the bombs explode
2nd Verse:
I got an idea. We can do it all on our own.
Nothing to worry. Regret must weigh a ton
Kick kick kick till the laws are broken
Kick kick till the boots are worn
Hit hit hit till the truth is spoken
Hit hit till the truth is born
3rd Verse:
I got an idea of something we can do with a gun
