Heads Will Roll
Pro-Pain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Heads shall roll!! - the people had cried
For revenge for those that died.
That day most agreed
We were right to stand up and fight.
God willing we'd go get the villain,
Green lights were given for killing.
Reminiscent of wars that passed,
New theaters, familiar cast

Of big players - the most corrupt,
With big plans to fuck you up
And stay the course with no regrets.
Plant false opposition to hedge their bets

The big wheels are on display to wreak havoc.
Complete disarray of infrastructure stripped to the core
To win the hearts and the minds of the poor

Sinners and saints are the same,
All faceless and useless pawns in their game
Of choice they're running the board with the goal
Of taking all of us out of control

Heads Will Roll!!

Heads will roll!! - when weapons of mass
Destruction are leaked by the press.
Same case is made by the brass,
So crass, insulting at best.
Who's next in the axis of evil
With no riots or state of upheaval.
Sad days, the public complacent.
Rise up, cause time is a wastin'!!

Fear reigns once again,
And who's to say when our men
Will return from this godless endeavor,
If at all, so I guess now's better than never.

We let the press define the enemy
Same shit as the 60's and 70's
So may the power of Christ compel you
To shun the hoax and the lies that they tell you

Get up and voice your dissent!!
God help us all.
"We shall never relent", they told us.
But the rhetoric gets old, as does our leaders.
A sight to behold.





Heads Will Roll!!

Overall Meaning

The song "Heads Will Roll" by Pro-Pain is a political commentary on how the government uses fear tactics and misinformation to control the public and justify their war efforts. The lyrics also touch on the corrupt nature of those in power, who use false opposition and manipulate the masses for their own gain.


The opening lines, "Heads shall roll!! - the people had cried / For revenge for those that died," refer to the public's desire for revenge after a traumatic event, most likely a terrorist attack. The lyrics suggest that the government exploited this desire for revenge to push their own agenda.

The lyrics also call out the government's manipulation of the media to shape public perception of the war effort.


In the chorus, "Heads will roll!!" is a call to action for the public to rise up and resist the government's control. The song suggests that the people have the power to bring about change, but they must first recognize who their true enemy is.
