"G: Grand Theft Auto
You gotta make a mark and move where you want to
T: Theft, determination
To steal what you can and run from the nation

We automate the sequence and speed for my getaway
Take it to the edge, there's nowhere to hide
And call up the boys, let's go for a joyride"

Qualification: Though "No One Lives Forever" is just the subtitle of the game, the sequel adopted it as the series' name. I've never heard the game referred to as "The Operative" before.

Just a note to say that I've created a YouTube playlist of these songs, and have swapped out some of the old links for a better listening experience. You're not allowed to skip any of the seven minutes of Savage.
