[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
