Lyrics for the alike named song.
Text:

Beats popping,
photo shopping.
I'm watching a documentary on TV.

The landscape of Sicilia:
Fields, woods, water ...
... streamed through a video filter.

The skyline of New York:
Glass, steel, stones ...
... bright light on a clear day.

With the words of a statesman:
This is war without an enemy.
It was a shot in the back.
You have seen nothing and now your are dead.

So we are talking about revenge.

With the words of a countrygirl:
This is a laugh number.
They aren't really tryin',
and if, they can't sell it.

With the words of a dog:
I never felt no ease,
although or because ...
... they always tried to please me.
