One & Two
The song is an electronic rock track with a driving beat and a dark, atmospheric feel. It features a male vocalist with a deep, resonant voice, delivering lyrics in a spoken-word style during verses and a more melodic, slightly strained delivery in the chorus. The instrumentation includes a prominent synth bass line, electronic drums with a strong kick and snare, and layered synthesizers creating pads and arpeggiated melodies. The chord progression is minor-key focused, contributing to the somber mood. Production elements include reverb on the vocals and some synth elements, creating a sense of space. The song structure follows a verse-chorus format with an instrumental intro and outro, and a bridge section that shifts the melodic focus. The tempo is moderately fast, maintaining a consistent energy throughout. The melody is simple and repetitive, designed to be catchy and memorable.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Well, we’re sittin’ in our van, got the world on our minds
Got our suits and our guns, but we’re runnin’ out of time
We tell folks we’re heroes, defenders of the human race
But mostly we just wander from one job to one place
Chorus
Hitman 1 and 2, got a plan or maybe two
We tell ourselves it’s noble, but we know it ain’t true
We keep count of our targets like flowers on the wall
Blam-di-lee-blam, tryin’ not to fall
Verse 2
We march past the neighbors, give ‘em a smile and a wave
Might save a life tomorrow, might be diggin’ a grave
We hum a little tune, keep the mood light and small
Pretendin’ to defend the human race, oh, what a ball
Chorus
Hitman 1 and 2, got a plan or maybe two
We tell ourselves it’s noble, but we know it ain’t true
We keep count of our targets like flowers on the wall
Blam-di-lee-blam, tryin’ not to fall
Bridge
Sometimes we wonder if it’s all in our heads
Do we save the world, or just make more beds?
Laughin’ in the dark, drinks in our hand
Defenders of humanity, by our own command
Verse 3
We drive off at sunset, leave a note we won’t sign
Nobody really notices, and that’s just fine
Tomorrow’s another mission, another name to recall
Hitman 1 and 2, they've taken their fall
Chorus
Hitman 1 and 2, got a plan or maybe two
We tell ourselves it’s noble, but we know it ain’t true
We keep count of our targets like flowers on the wall
Outro
Yeah, did-lee-doe, whistlin’ down the hall
As it turned out, they saved no one at all
