Lyrics for Self Destruct

Can't you see the signs? Blurred lines, no money, no peace Don't believe your eyes, you're sick, sick like me You want my advice, no shame, don't look away now We all have a role to play, so take the stage Is this what you want it to be? Are we gonna die before you get enough You get enough to get off? Which one hits you harder, the truth or the gun? This is how we self destruct Drink your ice-cold lies, go try forget about me Don't you look so fine, hands up and on your knees? I wish I was high, daydreaming through the last scene What a twisted joke is life I can't breathe Is this what you want it to be? Are we gonna die before you get enough You get enough to get off? One way or another, we've got to get up Hate is the drug killing us Give me the truth or the gun This is how we self destruct I hope it was worth it They say we deserve this Now everyone's down on their knees At your service We had to learn this The hardest way Are we gonna die before you get enough You get enough to get off? One way or another, we've got to get up Hate is the drug killing us Give me the truth or the gun This is how we self destruct
