Lyrics

bomb your country
and shed no tears
get to dinner
feed your fears
make your money
and spread your seed
lap up luxuries
acknowledge needs
make a family
then kill em dead
oh its not me ma
it’s what the tv, said
final fantasy
final days
oh its the infancy
(by yourself)
(by yourself)
so bomb your country
(by yourself)
and sit and smile
by yourself, by yourself,
by yourself
laid back easy
(by yourself)
(by yourself)
just wait a while
(by yourself)
just wait a while
final fantasy
final fantasy
final fantasy
just wait a while
(by yourself)
just wait a while
by yourself now, by
yourself
by yourself now, by
yourself
by yourself now
