About the Artist

Killing Joke

Killing Joke

Lyrics

Total

Too much sorrow, too much pain

Piss, death, decay

Love is lost again, this never-caring rain

Nothing ventured and nothing ever gained

Blocking out the past, I'm spinning out again

Total

Total

Fast food junkies and sugar-laced delights

Fat is beauty, and truth becomes the lie

Bewildered following

Savior to the One

Merge into the One Totalitarian

Total

Total

There's enough conflict within to wish for strife without

Avoiding people who like the plague

We blindly follow blind, conforming citizens

Merge into the One

Totalitarian
