Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, they  sent back all the bodies
Who were looking really hopeless
And it didn't seem that callous
Till they stopped you in your flow
[Verse 2]
She's surrounded by her wardens
And they're looking really nervous
All about the man from Reuters
Here to nullify your glow
[Verse 3]
Everything
You say
Will destroy you
Anyway
Everything you say
Will come haunt you
Round each corner
Everything you say will destroy you
[Verse 4]
Well you may think that you're Buddha
Lying on a mound of ashes
You were mentioned in the postscript
Of dispatches anyway
[Verse 5]
And the major's really nervous
When he's walking round the airport
You know your master's card is marked
Your upstart charge is cool and smart
[Verse 6]
Everything
You say
Will destroy you
Anyway
Everything you say
Will come haunt you
Round each corner
Everything you say will destroy you
[Verse 7]
Well, your unwanted suitor
Leaves his things around your home
He's marking out his territory
He's pissing on your answer phone
[Verse 8]
Well, you may think that you're Buddha
Lying on a mound of ashes
You were mentioned in the postscript
Of dispatches anyway
[Verse 9]
Everything
You say
Will destroy you
Anyway
Everything you say
Will come haunt you
Round each corner
Everything you say will destroy you
