I Wanna Destroy You

I wanna destroy you

I wanna destroy you

I wanna destroy you

I wanna destroy you

I feel it coming on again

Just like it did before

They fill your mind with boredom

And they lead you off to war

The way we treat each other

Really makes me feel ill

And if you're gonna fight

Then you're just dying to get killed

I wanna destroy you

I wanna destroy you

A box upon the media

And everything you read

They tell you your opinions

And they're very good indeed

I wanna destroy you

And when I have destroyed you

I'll come pickin' at your bones

And you won't have a single atom

Left to call your own

I wanna destroy you

I wanna destroy you

Wanna destroy you

Wanna destroy you

Wanna destroy you
