Placebo - Trigger Happy Hands Lyrics

an interesting, provocative song. I love it

I had the same nerf guns

Sucks it's not on Apple music.

e13kid I think Placebo are making a statement here, and selling it would be a bit silly considering what the song is about, if you know what I mean

Que es de esta canción?? No existe en Spotify, iTunes , tidal , en ningún lugar 🤷🏻‍♂️

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👊🏻

2018; still waiving them like I give a fuck.

A song close to my heart

This can easily adjust to the daily living we're having in most countries of the world in this days. I came from the future. It's 2018 and we're fucked up

Fuck Yeah...

This is incredible amazing work and message. This is so important government don't give a fuck about us. WE WANT FREEDOM AND PEACE NOT WAR


AND I GIVE A FUCK

AUSSIE TOURING, youve being missed! #sept2017

"The world is run by lying, drunk, balding, know it alls". Even more so now than when they wrote the song.

After the tragedy that happened on Wednesday the 9th of November 2016, this song is hitting home hard.

excelentes notas musicales placebo the best

Just so relevant at any point in time, moreso now. By theway, why was this NOT released in the UK!?!? I only fond out about the song when i was at Benicassim in 2006 and seen the do you give a fuck tee shirts...didnt have a clue...wish had got one....

I wish I could broadcast this loud as fuck through my city and sing along with it. I want everyone to hear this.

I have not found this song anywhere. Can someone direct me to what album I should buy? (it's not battle for the sun...)

+timbsp Battle For The Sun: Redux Edition

+carlosgauche I looked, but I couldn't find it on iTunes.

Deserves to be one of the Best Placebo Songs but this song is undoubtedly so Underated. :(

Rutuja Sankhe LEGIT. It’s not even on Spotify 😕

This video has 666,000 views 😏

sond in bass rhytm

We want hospitals and equal rights instead of fucking wars. Is that too much to ask?

So good :)

Great track but 99% of the people wont really get the deeper meaning sadly.

its pretty straight forward...
 

It literally couldn't be any more literal. God help us if people who get it immediately get labeled "smart".

If it's not about war/capitalism, i assume it's about drugs and if it's not drugs it's about love. if i'm wrong, please feel free to enlighten me

Isn't that basically all what most pop songs are about? What you said isn't clever or deep,it's obvious

What deeper meaning? Please at least explain instead of being a dick. Or,this could be a brilliant parody of the "you need a high IQ to understand this" culture,in which case I love it

You have something to say... Α, ρε Ελλάδα!!

It is called "repression".

What da hell happens at 3:15??

Winston?

Oh, you!

<3

No. Lo que yo entiendo es que la infancia de los niños se está dañando por todas las guerras y violencia en el mundo. El video te hace reflexionar sobre el futuro con esos niños perturbados, no significa precisamente que vayan a ser asesinos.

o.o entonces xD los chamaquito esos con las pistolas de agua son los futuros asesinos de la nacion?

Great song love this

Brilliant song. Favourite band. Says it all.

kinda like you make such shit comments? Learn to write first sweetheart.

war of coreas..??? put your hands in the air, and wave them like you give a fuck lml

ESTA BANDA ES DE LO MEJOR QUE SUENA EN ESTOS TIEMPOS...... GENIAL PLACEBO

That crowd dnt give a fuck

I'll like it again for you. :L

C'mon! x

Why can't I like this more than once? Not fair. x

quieeeeeeeeeeero mas volumen

.....How?

Love this song so much.
Molko, Y'Know? #MolkoFourOh

this video is very strong, it makes me fear the human race...

Solidarietà per Carlo Giuliani....RIP!

I don't like this song, probably the first Placebo-song I don't like

I HAVE HANDS TO HIGH-FIVE STUPID PEOPLE . SURROUNDED BY IDIOTS -.-

HAGAGAGAGAHAAHAH YES! :|

1:23 david gilmour?? XD

Placebo's debut album came out a week after my birth. Somehow I feel so identified with the band...

This song is very grown up,, I like it,,
thumbs up !!

Now that I can agree with.

Musicians have a responsibility to entertain their audience. Some use that as an opportunity to do what you want, but that doesn't mean it's their responsibility. It your responsibility to not stand for it, and that's a shared responsibility of anyone who gives a fuck. Sent from an angry white man in small town Texas.

are they still doing drugs??

Anastasia Sidiropoulou not at that time

Ψηλά η γροθιά και πάμε να τους εξαφανίσουμε τους μπάσταρδους

I have hands in the air, and wave them like give a fuck

Old Placebo was better.

@kwunnkzz Yes, is true. But there are a lot of fans who love both Placebo and Muse. :) Sorry for my english.

@rosalbina188 How can you say that the police have been tolerant of the black blocs? maybe you could say that the police has not been able to quell the bastards.

@rosalbina188 dont forget the new drummer ;) Live versions? cmon. PLACEBO is the BEST live perfermor EVER!!! I'd give my soul for being on a soulmates concert, but i never was -.-' I get goosebumpz just by watching it on DVD

@AskioXT i guess you're entitled to your opinion, but judging from the live footage i can't help asking myself why so much violence against pacifists and full tolerance for black blocs. and all those police officials got promoted, what a coincidence...

@D4RKBRU73 maybe this one feels different because actually brian wrote the lyrics but music is by timo maas. and i suggest that you listen to the live versions too, for example the pukkelpop 2010 one is excellent for me.
c'mon placebo, give us a great new album, we need it!

@rosalbina188 yeah ur right. but this song is waaaay beneath bionic ;) Dunno, but this song aint a "whole package (overall quality)" to me. It feels mainstream without soul to me, sorry

PS: Maybe i have to listen some more times to it to get that feeling ;) I will give it a try, cuz, cmon, its PLACEBO :)

@rosalbina188 No, I don't think so...

@AskioXT weren't our politicians and police officials 'trigger happy hands' at the time?

@D4RKBRU73 have u forgotten bionic? just 11 words, but, hey, that song rocks! so i think it's not important how long the choruses are, but the overall quality of the song. and btw this one is not bad, especially live: put your hands in the air - fuck! wave them like u give a fuck - fuck! :-)

@molkicebo

I think you need to adjust your definition of "recent". Listen to anything off the first three LPs or so and tell me honestly that the last couple of records are nearly as good.

ooo....hiphop drum beat over the guitar is HOTT!

@ignoranttwat Really? How did you decide that they are like that these days? They haven't had any live performance and they released no album, no single recently.

Placebo are shit these days.

Why they used the images of G8 in genova? what's the point?

fucking hypnotizing sound..

Brain's voice is amazing ;)

@Ample17 You are forgetting the fact that He isn't a young stud like he was before. He ages as well :) + Constant touring and stress has MUCH more negative effect on vocal performance then cigarettes. Look on Alesanas Shawn Milke , he has a good voice live , But by the end of the tour , his voice cracks a lot and high notes are difficult for him onstage at times. ANd About sweating... dude , have you been on stage ? It's flaming HOT there as hell from all the lights .

Remember me when every noses start to ble - oh wrong song.


PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR AND WAVE THEM LIKE YOU GIVE A
FUCK!!!!! GDKJBSGJSDGBGSAF YEAAAA PLACEBOOO!!!!!!

@Freelancerzors Are you numb ????? His voice was a million times better just a few years ago. I mean i still love Placebo and his voice but just listen to the "soulmates never die" dvd and than listen to the new one "we come in pieces" he has so much problems to get the high notes and hes sweating much much more and i now he was ill that day ;) but all the other versions from festivals and so on sound very similar :O so i think the cigaretts do affect his voice in an pretty negatic way.

@molkicebo Because cigarettes don't affect voice as much people think. + It is raspy if you hear closely :)

@MandaOwl Of course I know the difference between old times and now as a fan, but his voice is still the most beautiful of all lead-vocalists.

@molkicebo Well, his voice has changed a lot, probably thanks to the cigarettes. Not for the worse, but different. Listen to an early song like "Come Home", and then come back here. You'll see what I mean.

they should have made an end at 2:38

older placebo was beter to me

I said the only place you’re truly free is cosy in your dreams

@FieryWish Makes me thinking of SOAD- Lost in Hollywood : "all you bitches put your hands in the air and wave 'm like yo just don't care."

When Placebo came to Kyiv (Ukraine) year ago - there was the brightest event in my love (including the day when my daughter was born). Sorry for my English

@acfdundee then why have muse won a grammy and not placebo? Just sayin'...they're different bands. Better than each other in some ways

@molkicebo no...just no. And I'm a massive placebo fan. But they're not like Muse, neither are better or worse

@molkicebo placebo destroys muse lol....

I am a Muse fan and I'm starting to 'love' Placebo. But reading you lots' comments I feel like being in the Placebo fandom wouldn't be really nice. Just saying...

Placebo ♥♥ Damn they are GOOD!

Because music can save the world...!

@ElectricDolly86 in Brighton :o)

One wears glasses and my eyesight is fine! pretend it's the chorus or if you dont like repeats read a book ! or perhaps listen to war of the worlds there's a story set to music no repeats as far as I can remember lol! DUDE!

@mugwumpful
Read again, this time with glasses on buddy. Im talkin bout the Refrains gettin longer and longer...
...just like the mainstream shit. All songs today got only refrain in it so wheres the rest gone to? I dont like listening 3 - 4 minutes the same phrases again and again. Sorry dude

@D4RKBRU73 It's a comment on the world today and violence seems to be mainstream/normal/expected so what your problem?

noooooooooooo!!!! these are fred durst quality lyrics! brian!!! the fuck dude??

I have the feeling that the refrains in Placebos songs gained on focus since "Battle for the sun". They are getting longer and longer with every song until one song is REFRAIN ONLY??? O.o
Damn mainstream shit, i miss the good ol 'Soulmates'-times -.-'

Brian Molko once bought me a Bacardi Breezer. He's a nice guy, we had a great conversation about life. He is really tiny in the flesh :)

Huuuum Brian is so BEAUTIFUL and he sing so good!!!!

How can Brian have such a great voice with so much cigarettes? :D Because he's a god or something like that?
