ENCYCLOPAEDIA SELF-DESTRUCTICA. Thinkin’ of drinkin’ ‘cos life’s an old fad – I’m lickin’ all my wounds and tastin’ dust. If rockin’ n’ rollin’ is scarin’ your dad, what could be more freaky than my lust? Don’t want your fuckin’ sympathy, just want your daughter. Creepin’ in the street, the self-destruct elite midnight marauder. Self-destruct! A life that’s fucked! This soul corrupt! Self-destruct… uh! Thinkin’ of drinkin’ and why the fuck not? Everyone else has left this stage. Neurotic, erotic, narcotic, so what? You’re lookin’ at me like I’m in a cage! Don’t want your fuckin’ apathy, just got to have her. Bleedin’ to the beat, the self-destruct elite lifeless cadaver. Self-destruct! A life that’s fucked! This soul corrupt! Self-destruct… fuck! Once more I try to die… Hit the town and tear it down, they’ll never feel the same; I lose control of my sickened soul and I live with the shame – but I don’t want your fuckin’ sympathy, just makes it tougher. In the public eye I live a drunken lie, in solitude I suffer. Self-destruct! A life that’s fucked! This soul corrupt! Self-destruct! Self-destruct! Self-destruct! Self-destruct! Self-destruct!
