C4, C04, C.IV, C-4, or C-04 may refer to:
C4 was a New Zealand television channel owned and operated by MediaWorks New Zealand. C4 was available on both digital terrestrial and satellite platforms and played music around the clock and had some speciality music shows such as HomeGrown (New Zealand music show), Video Hits and Biggest Records Right Now. The channel was originally launched in 2003 as a re-branding of TV4 which had been broadcasting since 1997. On 1 May 2010, as C4 had been moving away from music programming since 2008, the jukebox side was split off and was re-launched as C4 2. C4 2 was only available on digital Freeview terrestrial and satellite platforms. At the end of 2010 an announcement was made that MediaWorks would again re-brand the current C4 channel as FOUR, which meant C4 2 would become just C4. C4 shut down on 26 June 2014 at 1am.
C4 was launched on 3 October 2003, when TV4 (which first aired in 1997) ceased broadcasting and relaunched as a music channel called C4. The very first show broadcast on C4 was the 100 Best Music Videos of All Time a countdown show where viewers voted prior to the show for their favourite songs of all time. TV Programming on C4 included local made shows such as Select Live and The Official NZ Top 40. New Zealand On Air paid $500,000 for the first year of operation and C4 was to broadcast 58 hours a week of music television in prime-time, reaching 72% of the population, with a target of 20–25% New Zealand music content.
C-4 or Composition C-4 is a common variety of the plastic explosive family known as Composition C. The British version of the explosive is known as PE-4 (Plastic Explosive). C-4 is composed of explosives, plastic binder, plasticizer to make it malleable, and usually a marker or odorizing taggant chemical.
C-4 has a texture similar to modeling clay and can be molded into any desired shape. C-4 is stable and an explosion can only be initiated by the combination of extreme heat and shock wave from a detonator.
The Composition C-4 used by the United States Armed Forces contains 91% RDX ("Research Department Explosive", an explosive nitroamine), 5.3% dioctyl sebacate (DOS) or dioctyl adipate (DOA) as the plasticizer (to increase the plasticity of the explosive), 2.1% polyisobutylene (PIB, a synthetic rubber) as the binder, and 1.6% of a mineral oil often called "process oil". Instead of "process oil", low-viscosity motor oil is used in the manufacture of C-4 for civilian use.
If we carry on this way we won't survive
We have to draw the line
A victim of your own convictions
We can't let them in to our minds
Hype the threats but never pull the trigger
A nation of patriots with dirty hands
Society under siege, a swarm of gunmen with ruthless intentions
Now I don't have the good intentions
I wore my heart on my sleeve
Not anymore, not me
Its time like these we should have swallowed the key
Stuffed the bottle sent it out to sea
In a sea of treason
Tell me, who or what give you the right to decide what defines innocent lives?
Do you feel threatened by your own kind?
Under the watch of a manmade weapon built to break and honest life
Do you feel threatened by your own kind?
What's the drive behind your motives?
All this blood on your hands
All these lies
How many brains washed does it take to see the dollar signs?
We're wandering the blank space
Filling the gaps of the raw truth
Truth that has yet to set me free
And if we try to recognize the fiction
We won't be part of the picture now
Tell me, who or what give you the right to decide what defines innocent lives?
If we carry on this way we won't survive
If we carry on this way we won't survive
We have to draw the line
If we carry on this way we won't survive
