Blast 'Em
Rancid Lyrics

He didn't see it comin' until it was too late
He was caught off guard and wasn't able to react in time to stop it.

He had a bad feelin' can't hesitate
His intuition was telling him something was wrong and he knew he couldn't wait to act.

And at the end of the day he was so tired
He had been working hard all day and was exhausted.

And he looked at the television
He took a break and turned on the TV to relax.

And whose the fuckin liar
He was angry and frustrated with the dishonesty and deceit in society.

He hates society, he thinks it's too big
He has contempt for the size and complexity of society.

It's just about killin' a man with his ring
In his eyes, society is only concerned with taking advantage of others for personal gain.

And he knew what was happening, millions in gold
He was aware of the corrupt dealings and large sums of money involved.

He's the first on the case and there's a murder to shoot
He quickly takes action and is determined to bring justice to the situation.

Question the ethics, right or wrong
He wonders about the morality of the situation and whether the actions he's taking are justified.

Secret identity started so young
He's been a vigilante from a young age and has kept his actions hidden from those he knows.

He never made friends, ah don't get too close
He's isolated himself from others and avoids forming close relationships to keep his actions hidden.

For a man who's got nothin', he's just got the mercy
Despite having nothing material to give, he still shows compassion and mercy towards others.

His family never knows the truth
He keeps his vigilante actions hidden from his own family.

'Cause he gets caught when he tells the truth
He can't reveal the truth about his actions because he knows he'll get in trouble.

No friends to lose or time to betray
He's not concerned with losing friends or betraying anyone since he's isolated himself and acts alone.

The rendition from the papers gonna bake him again
The negative portrayal of him in the media is going to cause trouble for him once again.

See through his eyes, his eyes alone
Only he sees the world in his unique perspective and no one else can understand his actions fully.

Intensified anger, can't be controlled
His anger is so strong that he struggles to keep it under control.

He turned his indiscretion, he brought it all down
He took his mistake and turned it into an opportunity to bring down the corruption and injustice.

If there was ever force of reason it could never be found
It's impossible to find a logical reason for his vigilante actions, but he feels it's necessary to make a difference.

The timing was perfect, this kid he was cleared
The timing was fortunate and he was able to clear his name and bring justice to the situation.

Computers down, he's clasped his fear
He overcame his fear and was able to take down the corrupt system without relying on technology.

A different mind lives in a way
His unique mindset and perspective drive his actions in a way that others can't comprehend.

It's a good good thing that he got it straight
He's relieved that he was able to bring justice to the situation and make a difference for the better.

Bright lights, here comes the night
The situation is intense and the action is about to begin in the dark of night.

Interrogate the kid with the .357
He confronts the suspect directly and uses force to get the information he needs.

I'm gonna (I'm gonna blast 'em)
He's resolved to use any means necessary to bring justice to the situation and get the information he needs from the suspect.
