Headhunter Lyrics

Cover art for Headhunter lyrics by Front 242

Here\'s an interview excerpt:\n\nTW: From the last album, Front By Front, you had the single "Headhunter" with the B-side "Welcome to Paradise." What made you think of the concept?\n\nJean-Luc DeMeyer: I had the chance to work in an insurance company before, and I worked in the department of human resources and I saw the way that this company was trying to hire people. It was very polite and very nice with men in suits, but at the same time it was very cut-throat. I wanted to make a parallel between tribal warfare and these activites. The song means both of these activities.

@Socalled Reminds me of the Midnight Oil song "Sometimes" with the line "the cannibals wear smart suits and ties".
