about

'This is the first song written for as well as the opening song of the On A Killing Spree!-tape, and a fast, short one -- just like emptying a gun on the street mostly only takes little time -- but it never was on the set list. The music of the song is very much inspired by the U.S. punk rock band Bad Religion. I even reproduced the opening bass drum beats at the beginning of their 1989 No Control album to open the Killing Spree!-tape with, while the final chords of I'm Trigger-Happy! were stolen from a Bad Religion song ending. The lyrics are about a guy shooting up a crowded street for no apparent reason, but in the final line the mass murderer claims he made his own blood flow by causing a massacre. Now that’s a metaphor!'

lyrics

Chorus:
I'm trigger-happy and I don't give a damn
That I bring carnage and bloodloss
Out on the street with a gun in my hand
Ready to kill with brute force

The ignorant think that I'm insane
But there is nothing wrong with my brain
In fact I feel more sane than ever before
And I will make 'em welter in gore
I gonna make 'em welter in gore

Chorus:
I'm trigger-happy and I don't give a damn
That I bring carnage and bloodloss
Killing at random and without repent
Accepting whatever the loss

There's bodies and blood on the street
When I am done with my killing spree
After it all you might think I feel fine
But it was nobody's blood but mine
Nobody's blood but mine
