I could torch myself
drench myself in gasoline
and let the dream scorch the garage floor
wouldn't want to live it any more
I know the score.

Can't afford the fuel
I'm a fool for thinking so
think I'll go and hang
my head in shame
in pain.

If it gave me some protection
I could vote in an election
but the section of society
that think they're pious and reliable
are really undeniably
the soldiers of the state
and the state we're in is intolerable
absolutely horrible
we should all go down the petrol station
and burn ourselves out of the nation.

Can't afford the fuel again
being such a fool again
tonight I'll go to sleep again
tomorrow it's the same again
I don't know why I care.
