Lyrics

Obsessive acts of hate
Abductions and massacre
Breeding emotions of vengeance
When the living become the dead
Home invasion
Private party of thieves
Blood spilled, material thrill
A sign of the times
Self-destruction
A terminal mind
Sadomasochist, a high profile
Trained in apathy
Intellect repulsed, you're torn
And death will have a face
Revenge passion, a theme for the '90s
Tormented deviants
When the fucking becomes psychotic
Domesticated rage
Actions of desperation
A struggle of inner killing
A sign of the times
Self-destruction
A terminal mind
Strangled to death
Little Miss Beauty Queen
With a fractured head
So it seems
America's little royal miss
Raped of innocence
Daddy's little girl to the end
Seduction and torture
Sex of the '90s
Mass murders and random violence
When the living become the dead
Father killing Mother
Daughter-son suicide pact
Butchers black 24/7
A sign of the times
Self-destruction
Self-destruction
A human disease
Jealousy killed the queen
Sliced her neck from ear to ear
Money and power set the king free
A jury of his peers let him be
Jealousy killed the queen
Sliced her neck from ear to ear
Money and power set the king free
A jury of his peers let him be
Jealousy killed the queen
Sliced her neck from ear to ear
Money and power set the king free
(Self-destruction, self-destruction)
Shattered will in retribution
Life, watch it die, life ripped in half
Drastic pain, a symphony, screams
No escape, your time to die
Hardened steel against your head, it weighs
Self-destruct, remain insane
Sadomasochist, a high profile
Trained in apathy
Intellect repulsed, you're torn
And death will have a face
Death will have your face
