Self Destruct (Extended Version) - Anne Clark

Suicide is an urban disease

Spread by people and places like these

A quick self destruct from the 21st floor

A smell of gas through the kitchen door

A stab in the back from the workers and bosses

They're counting their gains as you count your losses

As you count your losses

Blow the world apart with the press of a button

We all say it shouldn't but we know it will happen

Again and again like the rain and the ark

Onwards forever eternally dark

Eternally dark

The grit in your eye soon enters your heart

And all that was strength is just falling apart

We're jumping from one bed and into another

Searching for something that we'll never discover

Never discover

So we go on breeding - breeding contempt

From all of the repression that this has meant

If the bombs and the fire don't instantly kill

Then the greed from the ashes certainly will

Certainly will

This place is not my place

This place is not yours

We're set on self destruct

For no reason or cause

If the bombs and the fire don't instantly kill

Then the greed from the ashes certainly will

Certainly will
