Lyrics

i'm with you my friends, my critical friends
as you wanna get high with me
you can see by my face that i share your complaints
as i share your history

i'm as sick as you of the empty view
of the fields where battle was done
they train the lights on the ancient sites
where our parents' fights were won

i'm with you my friends, my cynical friends
as you wanna get high with me
'cause just like yous, it was easy to lose
my faith in millennium three

i hear you say that a video game
is the only friend you know
and i see what you mean, as i stare at the screen
on my own machine
with its little green men aglow

shoot 'em up - wo, shoot 'em up
it pours whenever it rains
shoot 'em up - wo, shoot 'em up
the blood rushes through your veins

i'm with you my friends, my bitter friends
as you wanna get high with me
and our hate will grow as we come to know
the voice of the enemy

it's the voice of hope, it's the oldest joke
and it's everywhere we go
and we see their face, this too-human race
that invade our space
but they're out of place, we know

shoot 'em up...

i'm with you my friends, my easy friends
as you wanna get high with me
with only your needles you summon cathedrals
makes perfect sense to me

i sit and sing as you pierce your skin
and begin your picture show
it's clear as day it's the only way
to escape the grey
why should you say no?

shoot 'em up...
