Leaders of Self​-​destruction

from Keep Your Cool by Straightline

lyrics

1.
Trapped in devastation
that surrounds us everyday
feeling no compassion
we've all lost it on our way

Daily fights for freedom
made us so indifferent
Blending news on all sides
who can be trusted in these hard times

We see it all but look away
until it all comes back our way

Pre-Chorus 1
One day it all comes back - our boomerang
our bombs, our guns and our destructive ways
welfare build on depts we will not pay

A species destined to kill itself

2.
Each one on their own, consume until everthing is gone
shameless exploitation of what never was our own
no balance at all, no rebuke of us
it's all just exorbitant

Not willing to learn, til all is impure
until it's too late

We had our chance but looked away
hoped it will all just wash away

Pre-Chorus 2
One day it will fail - will come back to our place
our bombs, our guns, everything we've made

we destroy our home like there's one more
a species destined to kill itself

A species destined to die

Chorus
What have we done
we destroyed our home
we've all been warned
but we kept going on

Bridge 1

Ashes of insanity
plain destruction
no empathy
out there in the killing fields
no one is save

We kill or steal as much we can
and destroy the weakest
I’m sick of our endless disrespect for life
we’re the walking dead

Bridge 2
And when it all will finally fall
what will be left for us at all
just anger about what we could have prevailed
and the mess we've made

Chorus
What have we done
we destroyed our home
we've all been warned
but we kept going on

Leaders of self-destruction
