in such a peaceful place
it's boring everywhere i go
it's hard to see a fight
what can i do tonight
i really need a splatter show
the old romans used to know what's good
skank it up do the chainsaw reggae
skank it up do the chainsaw reggae
sadists have more fun get yourself a gun
skank it up do the chainsaw reggae
skank it up do the chainsaw reggae
sadists have more fun get yourself a gun
the middle age was great
burning witches iron maids
people had a real good time
on the market place
people died in many ways
and all for free - ain't that fine?
the old romans used to know what's good
live shows in the circus men as lion's food
skank it up do the chainsaw reggae
skank it up do the chainsaw reggae
sadists have more fun get yourself a gun
skank it up do the chainsaw reggae
skank it up do the chainsaw reggae
sadists have more fun get yourself a gun
some get excited watching sex
i get excited watching legs
when they're ripped off lying on the street
accidents on motorways
people dying in a race
that gets me into heat
the old romans used to know what's good
live shows in the circus men as lion's food
skank it up do the chainsaw reggae
skank it up do the chainsaw reggae
sadists have more fun get yourself a gun
skank it up do the chainsaw reggae
skank it up do the chainsaw reggae
sadists have more fun get yourself a gun
skank it up do the chainsaw reggae
skank it up do the chainsaw reggae
sadists have more fun get yourself a gun
The lyrics to The Busters' "Chainsaw Reggae" are unsettling, to say the least. The singer, bored with the peace and safety of their surroundings, longs for violence and gore, comparing contemporary life to historic times in which people were entertained by deadly spectacles. The verses touch on ancient gladiatorial shows, witch-burnings, and executions, with the chorus urging listeners to "skank it up" and partake in a twisted dance to the sounds of a chainsaw, all while advocating for violence through the repeated lines "sadists have more fun get yourself a gun."
While some might write off the song as mere shock value, it's difficult not to read it as a critique of a culture that tends to conflate entertainment and violence. The lyrics suggest that, for some, real-life horrors and tragedies are not only mere spectacle, but a form of excitement that they actively seek out. By referencing historical examples of public cruelty, the songwriter points out that this fascination with violence is not a new phenomenon.
Overall, "Chainsaw Reggae" is a song that forces the listener to confront uncomfortable questions about humanity's relationship with violence and the media's role in perpetuating it.

life ain't much fun these days
Life is really boring lately
in such a peaceful place
Even though it's supposed to be calm and peaceful here
it's boring everywhere i go
I can't find anything to do no matter where I go
it's hard to see a fight
There's not even any violence to watch
what can i do tonight
I'm so bored and I need something to do
i really need a splatter show
I crave violent and bloody entertainment
the old romans used to know what's good
The ancient Romans understood and appreciated gruesome shows
live shows in the circus men as lion's food
They watched live events where people would be eaten by lions
skank it up do the chainsaw reggae
Dance to the Chainsaw Reggae music style
sadists have more fun get yourself a gun
People who enjoy others' pain will have even more fun with a firearm
the middle age was great
The medieval times were really interesting
burning witches iron maids
People were executed in horrifying and painful ways
people had a real good time
Spectators enjoyed the executions and torture
on the market place
These events would take place in town squares as public entertainment
people died in many ways
There were numerous methods of killing and torture
and all for free - ain't that fine?
All this could be enjoyed for free, isn't it great?
some get excited watching sex
Some people find pleasure in watching sex scenes
i get excited watching legs
I find it exciting when people's legs get ripped off
when they're ripped off lying on the street
I like seeing body parts on the ground after a violent accident
accidents on motorways
Especially if there are major car accidents
people dying in a race
Or if there are fatalities during a race
that gets me into heat
This kind of stuff turns me on
