The crack of doom







And so your life's been a success
And you have pleasure in excess
Don't worry it will all end soon
The crack of doom is coming soon
And so your future's looking bright
And you've reached the giddy heights
Don't worry it will soon end
It is all shallow and pretend








The crack of doom
Is coming soon
The crack of doom
Is coming soon






And so your life
Your life has failed
You've made the progress of a snail
Don't worry you'll get your revenge
For we're all equal in the end
The small and mighty all the same
This life a shallow, facile game
Where every empire turns to dust
And every ego will be crushed









The crack of doom
Is coming soon
The crack of doom
Is coming soon






And every dream, hope and desire
Is just a flicker in the fire
And that fire it will consume
The crack of doom
Is coming soon






The crack of doom is coming soon
The crack of doom is coming soon









The crack of doom is coming soon
The crack of doom
doom
Is coming soon

Anger






Are you angry in the morning?
Are you angry in the night?
Are you always ready with violence to fight?







Well that anger is an illness that will take you away
It’s a never-ending tragedy and it runs from day to day.
If you’re angry.
Are you angry?





You shove me I’ll hit you won’t let you get away
You cut your car in front of mine I’ll make you rue the day
You’re different from me so you I’ll have to hit
If there’s something you don’t understand it’s safest to kill it
You’re angry.
Are you angry?

Her T Room




People with cigarettes,
Singers with violets
Some who have no regrets
In her room



Men with no hair
Girls in their underwear
Boys who are debonair
In her room,
In her room




Where are the rum times ?
Where is the sunshine
In her room

Looking for dog-ends
Picking up her friend
Looking for the end
In her room,
In her room




Found her beat black and blue
With the words 'I love you'
Tattooed in rouge
In her room,
In her room
