Lyrics

I Wanna Destroy You

[Chorus]

I wanna destroy you

I wanna destroy you

I wanna destroy you

I wanna destroy you

[Verse 1]

I feel it comin' on again

Just like it did before

They feed your pride with boredom

Then they lead you on to war

[Verse 2]

The way they treat each other

Really makes me feel ill

'Cause if you want to fight

Then you're just dying to get killed

[Chorus]

I wanna destroy you

I wanna destroy you

[Verse 3]

A pox upon the media

And everything you read

They tell you your opinions

And they're very good indeed

[Chorus]

I wanna destroy you

[Verse 4]

When I have destroyed you

And I'm pickin' at your bones

You won't have a single item

Left to call your own

[Chorus]

I wanna destroy you

I wanna destroy you

I wanna destroy you

I wanna destroy you

I wanna destroy you
