Self-Destruction Lyrics by Down by Law

Last of the Sharpshooters

1997

You say you've got it all figured out
You live life without a doubt
You say you're looking for something deeper
But I can't sit here watching
I won't march in time to the tune of self destruction
"well I think it's time to make it on my own
I'm gonna live life all alone"
Well open your eyes, and I'll show you a big surprise
Nobody makes it on their own
Nothing is ever gonna change, you say
And there's no way you'll every leav this code you follow today
You say your rules are something deeper
But I see lies, and they're getting deeper
You say everything else means nothing
But I can't sit here watching
I won't march in time to the tune of self destruction
You say you've got it all figured out
I'm a bit wary of those who don't see a shadow of a doubt
Come see me in 20 years, and I'll show you a host of change
In the end, your inner spirit is all that will remain
You say everything means nothing - but I won't sit here watching
I won't march in time to the tune of self-destruction
