iyou have to ask about this song, then my advice to you is to take history class. the song is clearly about the man behind the behind the band, Archduke FRANZ FERDINAND. its about his assassination by Gavrilo Princip, young man from Bosnia and a member of the Black Hand, a revolutionary group for slavic unity in the balkaans during the early 20th century. his wife(or fianceee, i can't remember), Sophia, was murdered by Princip as well. he used a now infamous revolver- hence "...first six shots are for you.", to do the dirty work. the assassination was the boiling point regarding slavic and germanic tensions in the region. this was basically the basis of the First World War, hence "...Europe's gonna weap."
