  • 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 Writer/s: Billie Joe Armstrong, Frank Edwin III Wright, Mike Ryan Pritchard
