Lyrics:
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 feed your pride with boredom and they lead you on to war
The way you treat each other really makes me feel ill
'Cause if you wanna fight then you're just dyin' to get killed
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
A pox upon the media and everything you read
They tell you your opinions and they're very good indeed
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
And when I have destroyed you I'll come picking at your bone
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
