City of Destruction

[Verse 1]

Sleep depraved. Dawn patrol

My life blood's running circles 'round my soul

All the people in normal land

Rest while I get a midnight tan

But I...

I just hope I can sleep tonight

How can I shake this stain?

My family thinks that I'm insane like I

Got a vice on my head

My brain goes on like the walking dead

[Pre-Chorus 1]

But I...

From within and without

It just keeps on screaming

[Chorus]

"You gotta get out of the City of Destruction

Don't wait another day

You gotta get out of the City of Destruction

There is no other way"

[Verse 2]

"Why are you grieving so?

Everyone must die someday you know

I can see your trembling hand

You better flea this sun scorched land

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Cause I...

I have been to the gate

You'd better not wait"

[Chorus]

"You gotta get out of the City of Destruction

Don't wait another day

You gotta get out of the City of Destruction

There is no other way"

"You gotta get out of the City of Destruction

Don't wait another day

You gotta get out of the City of Destruction

There is no other way"

"You gotta get out of the City of Destruction

Where anger breeds distain

You gotta get out of the City of Destruction

Where pleasure comes with pain"

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

"You gotta, you gotta

You gotta get out of the City of Destruction

Where anger breeds distain

You gotta get out of the City of Destruction

Where pleasure comes with pain"

"This is your chance to escape from the corruption

Don't wait another day

You gotta get out of the City of Destruction

There is no other way"

[Bridge]

I've got rocks in my head

Think I'd rather be dead

I don't know what it's really about

Got this rack on my back

Satan's talkin' such smack

All I know is I've got to get out

Yeah

[Spoken]

I've gotta go talk to my wife...

She'll help me make sense of this...

She'll help me make sense of this
