Bang Bang Lyrics

This is definitely not the first video to surface of an execution
They claimed responsibility for the executions
Described as severely mentally disturbed
It appears to show another hostage executed by the terrorist group
Deserve to be annihilated

I get my kicks and I want to start a rager
I want to dance like I'm on the video
I got a fever for the violent behavior
I'm sweating bullets like a modern Romeo

Bang, bang, give me fame
Shoot me up to entertain (oh)
I am a semi-automatic lonely boy
You're dead, I'm well fed
Give me death or give me head (oh)
Daddy's little psycho and mommy's little soldier

I testify like a lullaby of memories
Broadcasting live and it's on my radio
I got my photo bomb, I got my Vietnam
I love a lie just like anybody else

Bang, bang, give me fame
Shoot me up to entertain (oh)
I am a semi-automatic lonely boy
You're dead, I'm well fed
Give me death or give me head (oh)
Broadcasting from my room and playing with my toys

I want to be a celebrity martyr (oh)
The leading man in my own private drama
Hurrah (bang bang), hurrah (bang bang) the hero of the hour
Daddy's little psycho and mommy's little soldier

I wanna be like the soldiers on the screen
It's my private movie (Holy war)
Oh, baby, baby, this is Viva Vendetta
Oh, this is love or it's World War Zero

I wanna be a celebrity martyr
The leading man in my own private drama
Hurrah (bang bang), hurrah (bang bang) the hero of the hour
Daddy's little psycho and mommy's little soldier
I wanna be a celebrity martyr (oh)
The leading man in my own private drama
Hurrah (bang bang), hurrah (bang bang) the hero of the hour
Daddy's little psycho and mommy's little soldier
