About

Originally released in 1988, Headhunter was written as an indictment of corporate HR organizations, but uses tribal warfare imagery to draw the comparison with actual headhunters. This is by far Front 242’s biggest hit and has been remixed upwards of 20 times over the years.

Headhunter Annotated

Today he has no means
He's alone and anonymous
But written in his cells
He's got the marks of a genius
I'm looking for this man
To make us rich and famous
I'm looking for this man
To sell him to other men

One you lock the target,
Two you bait the line,
Three you slowly spread the net
And four you catch the man
you catch the man
you catch the man

I'm looking for this man
To sell him to other men
To sell him to other men
At ten times his price at least
I'm looking for a man
Who knows the rules of the game
Who's able to forget them
To realize my aim

One you lock the target
(Lock the target, bait the line
Spread the net, then catch the man)
Two you bait the line
(Lock the target, bait the line
Spread the net, then catch the man)

Freeze, shoot to kill, or die
Freeze, shoot to kill, or die

Lock the target, bait the line
Spread the net catch the man

One you lock the target
Two you bait the line
Three you slowly spread the net
And four you catch the man

I'm looking for this man
I'm looking for this man
To sell him to other men
To sell him to other men
At ten times his price at least
