Lyrics & Translation

[English]

He may be off the grid now,

but Bob Lee Swagger is still the deadliest sniper I've ever known.

Back in Afghanistan, he held off 200 Taliban for over 46 hours on his own.

He's smart.

He's a family man.

He's got the kind of skills you just can't teach.

Underestimate Bob Lee Swagger at your own peril.

He's the real deal.

What can I do for you, Captain?

This was written to the President.

It states that in 21 days, he'll be executed.

And that's exactly why I need you.

Yes sir.

I need a complete workup. Distances, locations.

He knows the exact moment to take the shot, and he's going to take it from here.

He's in location A!

(gunshot)

(screaming)

Freeze!

(gunshots)

I made a mistake!

No way he's getting away.

My name is Bob Lee Swagger. I did not kill the President!
