A scared man sees you and runs
But of course he can't outrun
the bullets of your gun
You stun him with a taser
But that's like shocking him
to death with a laser
What goes through your head
When you shoot an innocent man dead?
You say "kill first, ask questions later"
There's no answer from a cadaver
Throw your guns away,
Throw your bullets away
Save an innocent life from the grave
Throw your guns away,
Throw your bullets away
Remember De Menezes today
Throw your guns away,
Throw your bullets away
Save an innocent life from the grave
Throw your guns away,
Throw your bullets away
Remember De Menezes today
But now, like many times before,
it's too late
Another life, another life lays waste
You stand at Scotland Yard,
beaming, over your kill
"We are much safer, and what a thrill"
What goes through your head
When you shoot an innocent man dead?
You say "kill first, ask questions later"
There's no answer from a cadaver
Throw your guns away,
Throw your bullets away
Save an innocent life from the grave
Throw your guns away,
Throw your bullets away
Remember De Menezes today
Throw your guns away,
Throw your bullets away
Save an innocent life from the grave
Throw your guns away,
Throw your bullets away
Remember De Menezes today
Your paycheck is padded
With the kickback from government
You've done your job,
the Chief looks good
Far away a family mourns
the dead of the innocent
What goes through your head
When you shoot an innocent man dead?
You say "kill first, ask questions later"
There's no answer from a cadaver
Throw your guns away,
Throw your bullets away
Save an innocent life from the grave
Throw your guns away,
Throw your bullets away
Remember De Menezes today
Throw your guns away,
Throw your bullets away
Save an innocent life from the grave
Throw your guns away,
Throw your bullets away
Remember De Menezes today
Throw your guns away,
Throw your bullets away
Save an innocent life from the grave
Throw your guns away,
Throw your bullets away
Remember De Menezes today
Throw your guns away,
Throw your bullets away
Save an innocent life from the grave
Throw your guns away,
Throw your bullets away…
