Family Snapshot (Live) - Peter Gabriel

The streets are lined with camera crews

Everywhere he goes is news

Today is different

Today is not the same

Today, I'll make the action

Take snapshot into the light

Snapshot into the light

I'm shooting into the light

Four miles down, the cavalcade moves on

Driving into the sun

If I worked it out right

They won't see me or the gun

Two miles to go, they're clearing the road

And the cheering has really begun

I've got my radio

I can hear what's going on

I've been waiting for this

I have been waiting for this

All you people in TV land

I will wake up your empty shells

Peak-time viewing blown in a flash

As I burn into your memory cells

'Cause I'm alive

They're coming round the corner with the bikers at the front

I'm wiping the sweat from my eyes

It's a matter of time

It's a matter of will

And the governor's car is not far behind

He's not the one I've got in mind

'Cause there he is

The man of the hour

Standing in the limousine

I don't really hate you

I don't care what you do

We were made for each other, me and you

I want to be somebody

You were like that, too

If you don't get given, you learn to take

And I will take you

Holding my breath

Release the catch

And I let the bullet fly

All turned quiet

I have been here before

A lonely boy hiding behind the front door

Friends have all gone home

There's my toy gun on the floor

Come back, Mom and Dad

You're growing apart

You know that I'm growing up sad

I need some attention

I shoot into the light
