Q: You have released an anti-war song called - "Trigger Happy Hands". Rock musicians have sung anti-war songs 20, 30 and even 40 years ago, but the war still going on. Do you think it’s all in vain?

Stefan Olsdal: No matter how insignificant we may feel in this world, we still shouldn’t give up. According to Darwin, we are just the machines for survival, but if we agree with this, we are just going to kill each other. I will say a trivial thing: every man in his position should make this world better, that's all. Throughout our career Brian has affected political themes, but now it’s a time to speak in a full voice. We don’t want to become a „new U2” or build a publicity on this, we just tray a mirror to the face of a society.
The world is run by clowns with trigger happy hands
But the world is filled with people that we don’t understand
So we’re living in a culture made of death and fear
Doesn’t seem the human race will make it through the year

The world is run by lying, drunk, balding, know it alls
But my mother told me pride always come before a fall
Now remember in the day when we were young and green?
We were filled with hope; we were squeaky clean

"The world’s an unforgiving place", we've all heard this before
But we want hospitals and equal rights instead of bloody wars
We want the right to blow our minds, as crazy as it seems
The only place you’re truly free is cosy in your dreams
I said the only place you’re truly free is cosy in your dreams

put your hands in the air, and wave them like you give a fuck
Put your hands in the air, and wave them like you give a fuck
Put your hands in the air, and wave them like you give a fuck
put your hands in the air, and wave them like you give a fuck

The world is run by clowns with trigger happy hands
But the world is filled with people that we don’t understand
So we’re living in a culture made of death and fear
Doesn’t seem the human race will make it through the year

Put your hands in the air, and wave them like you give a fuck
Put your hands in the air, and wave them like you give a fuck
Put your hands in the air, and wave them like you give a fuck
Put your hands in the air, and wave them like you give a fuck

put your hands in the air, and wave them like you give a fuck
put your hands in the air, and wave them like you give a fuck
put your hands in the air, and wave them like you give a fuck
put your hands in the air, and wave them like you give a fuck

Traduzione italiana da Placebo Tribute
GRILLETTO FACILE

Il mondo è governato da pagliacci dal grilletto facile
ma il mondo è pieno di gente che noi non comprendiamo,
Così viviamo in una cultura fatta di morte e paura
Probabilmente il genere umano non arriverà alla fine dell'anno.

Il mondo è governato da bugiardi, sbronzi, stempiati so-tutto-io
Ma mia madre mi ha detto che più in alto sali più dura è la caduta.
Ripensa al giorno in cui eravamo giovani e ingenui,
eravamo pieni di speranza, eravamo senza macchia.

"Il mondo è un posto spietato", Lo abbiamo già sentito.
Ma noi vogliamo ospedali e diritti uguali per tutti invece di guerre del cazzo.
Vogliamo il diritto di bruciarci la mente, per quanto possa sembrare folle.
L'unico posto in cui siamo davvero liberi è al sicuro nei nostri sogni.
Ti dico: l'unico posto in cui siamo davvero liberi è al sicuro nei nostri sogni

Butta in aria le mani,
muovile come se te ne fottesse qualcosa
Butta in aria le mani,
muovile come se te ne fottesse qualcosa

Il mondo è governato da pagliacci dal grilletto facile
Ma il mondo è pieno di gente che noi non comprendiamo
Così viviamo in una cultura fatta di morte e paura
Probabilmente il genere umano non arriverà alla fine dell'anno.

Butta in aria le mani,
muovile come se te ne fottesse qualcosa.
Butta in aria le mani,
muovile come se te ne fottesse qualcosa.

Butta in aria le mani,
muovile come se te ne fottesse qualcosa.
Butta in aria le mani,
muovile come se te ne fottesse qualcosa.
