Mr. Self Destruct
T.H.C. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Out on a limb, got no enjoyment, stoney broke, got no employment.
It's something no-one else can see, I've gotta end my misery.

Self destruct, self destruct, I said I'm gonna.
Self destruct, fill my head with a piece of lead.

Had enough of this recession, their bullshit caused my depression.
Their ways make me feel small, now I'm gonna end it all.

Count-down's over this is it, my life is spent it's now I quit.
Done my best to aid this caper, one less name on a piece of paper.





.. blow my brain
