The perception of johnny punter

Just another nigger, a spooky piece of white trash,
Just another jewboy, spic, mick, yid, raghead motherfucker living on the planet.

(usa version: just another wake up, a hostage of a sunrise,
Just another paranoid, victimised motherfucker living on the planet.)

Just before it kicks in

Just like a silver bullet,
Take a good look at yourself in the mirror and tell me that its worth it,
Said itll never happen, you said youd never get caught out,
You settled in a habit, so now youre mr fixit,
Just another alien, living on the planet,
Living on the planet, living on the planet.
Its just one of those days when you know that somethings gonna happen.

Another betrayal, lose another friend,
You know you never need them, on your own until the bitter end.
Just another pick up, just another kill, someone elses daughter, someone elses girl,
Living on the planet.
We are in another world, living on the planet we are, we are,
And you know theres some days when you feel that somethings gonna happen,
This is one of those days which you know that somethings gonna happen,
And somethings gonna happen.

Somedays you just wake up and you dont have any real sense of direction, you just cant find the will to get up and go through with it all, your next allotted 24 hour slice of destiny.
Theres just a bad vibe and rather than a world of opportunities, its full of threats and just too many negative variables.
Id noticed these houses way up in the hills and I tried to imagine what it would have been like living up there isolated from the world, every night watching the fires crawl slowly down the val
And knowing that one night it was gonna be your turn for the visit.
I tried to imagine what it would have been like hiding in a cellar with your family and the fear hoping that when they do come, when the dogs dont bark, and the silence is around you, you hope
They burn the whole house around your ears and they dont discover you hiding in the cellar because youve got nowhere to go, and you know that one day that somethings gonna happen.
Theres one day, just one day.

Just another village burning in the hills,
I saw it on the tv, just another thrill,
Someone elses problems, someone elses grief,
Someone elses children, living on the planet,
We are in another world living on the planet,
We are in another world living on the planet, we are, we are.

Its just one of those places that never exist till youve been there,
Its just one of those things that you never will see till you wake up,
And you know that somewhere theres somebody thats out there who thinks like you do.
And you hope that today is the day that its all gonna happen for you.
And you know theres somedays when you feel that somethings gonna happen.
This is one of those days which you know that somethings gonna happen.
