Album version
 
Somebody put the plug in
Now the new game is loadin'
And still I just see a black screen
Now the doors open and I can see my way
On the map I'm a little point
For growing I insert a coin
Pull the trigger and kill 'em all
I will fight until I fall
No risk, no fun, no fear, just run
No risk, no fun, no fear, just run
No risk, no fun, no fear, just…
Press to play
When somewhere's war, I interfere
This is the only way to prove
I'm the most powerful might on the map
Expelling all these innocent
Controlling what I don't have the right to
But there's no law, so I can do
Whatever I want, so I take my gun
It's better for you when you run away
Now my game is in your hands
I'm gonna bleed out in the sand
I don't care, I think it's grand
If I'm gonna die for my native land
But it was just a game
So don't cry out my name
I guess I can restart
But who the fuck pulled the plug out of my heart
My heart
When somewhere's war, I interfere
This is the only way to prove
I'm the most powerful might on the map
Expelling all these innocent
Controlling what I don't have the right to
But there's no law, so I can do
Whatever I want, so I take my gun
It's better for you when you run away
When you run away
Early version from 9 Oct 2015

Press to play
When somewhere's war, I interfere
This is the only way to prove
I'm the most powerful might on the map
Expelling all these innocents
Controlling what I don't have the right to
But there's no law, so I can do
Whatever I want, so I take my gun
It's better for you when you run away
Now my game is in your hands
I'm gonna bleed out in the sand

If I'm gonna die for my native land
I don't care, I think it's grand
If I'm gonna die for my native land

But there's no law, so I can do
Whatever I want, so I take my gun
It's better for you when you run away
When you run away
