Hunting for Witches by Bloc Party
I'm sitting on the roof of my house
With a shotgun and a six pack of beer
The newscaster says "the enemy is among us!"
As bombs explode on the 30 bus
Kill that middle class indecision
Now is not the time for liberal thought
So I go hunting for witches
Heads are going to roll
So I go hunting
1990's, optimistic as a teen
But now its terror, airplanes crash into towers
The Daily mail says "the enemy is among us!"
"Taking our women and taking our jobs"
All reasonable thought is being drowned out
By the non-stop baying, baying for blood
So I go hunting for witches
Heads are going to roll
So I go hunting
I was an ordinary man, with ordinary desire
I watched TV it informed me
I was an ordinary man with ordinary desire
There must be accountability
Desperate and misinformed
Fear will keep us all in place
I'm sitting on the roof of my house
With a shotgun and a six pack of beer
The newscaster says "the enemy is among us!"
As bombs explode on the 30 bus
Kill that middle class indecision
Now is not the time for liberal thought
So I go hunting for witches
Heads are going to roll
So I go hunting
1990's, optimistic as a teen
But now its terror, airplanes crash into towers
The Daily mail says "the enemy is among us!"
"Taking our women and taking our jobs"
All reasonable thought is being drowned out
By the non-stop baying, baying for blood
So I go hunting for witches
Heads are going to roll
So I go hunting
I was an ordinary man, with ordinary desire
I watched TV it informed me
I was an ordinary man with ordinary desire
There must be accountability
Desperate and misinformed
Fear will keep us all in place
After over a year, I still think this is one of the most amazing songs I've ever heard.
And the fact it calls out the ridiculousness of the media and the state of fear that ensued after 9/11 and the UK bus bombings just makes it even more amazing.
I love you, Bloc Party.
I ******** love music.
