Lyrics

Explode (Live in Kiev)

[Verse 1]

Ease your trouble

We'll pay them double

Not to look at you for a while

And you rely on

What you get high on

And you last just as long as it serves you

[Chorus]

Explode or implode

Explode or implode

We will take care of it

Explode or implode

Explode or implode

We will take care of it

Yes, we will carry you

[Verse 2]

Cause you're deserted

What's good, you hurt it

And it kills you, it keeps you alive

So give it up

In a world of puppets

It's a shame what they do to us all

[Chorus]

Explode or implode

Explode or implode

We will take care of it

Explode or implode

Explode or implode

We will take care of it

Yes, we will carry you

[Bridge]

Can we do anything for you now?

[Chorus]

Explode or implode

Explode or implode

We will take care of it

Explode or implode

Explode or implode

We will take care of it

Yes, we will carry you
