[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

Self-destruction

A terminal mind

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

Self-destruction

A terminal mind

[Bridge]

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

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

Self-destruction

Self-destruction

A human disease

[Bridge]

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)

[Verse 4]

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

[Bridge]

Sadomasochist, a high profile

Trained in apathy

Intellect repulsed, you're torn

And death will have a face

[Outro]

Death will have your face
