Lyrics

Scum

Written by Justin Broadrick, Mick Harris, Nicholas Bullen

Lyrics

Scum

In your mind Nothing but fear You can't face life Or believe death's near A vision of life On television screens An existence created From empty dreams Hide behind TV Hide behind life You should be living But you only survive Life holds nothing But pain and death Don't look for love There is none left
