Lyrics

SENSELESS (ROBERT ELLIS ORRALL)

SELF PROTECTION
CARRY A GUN
NO INTENTION OF KILLING SOMEONE
BAD RELATIONS AND A VIOLENT RAGE
NEWSPAPER SENSATION
DAY AFTER DAY AND PAGE AFTER PAGE

STOP
WHAT IS THIS
STOP
IT’S SENSELESS

NO SATISFACTION
OH AND NOWHERE TO TURN
YOU CALL IT RADICAL ACTION
I CALL IT BURNING TO BURN
AW, WHAT DOES IT MATTER
WE JUST GIVE IT A LABEL
AND THE FATTER JUST GET FATTER
AND THE LEAN GET THE GARBAGE THAT FALLS OF THE TABLE

STOP
WHAT IS THIS
STOP
IT’S SENSELESS

DESPERATE PLEAS COME FROM THE DEFENSELESS
NO SANE REASON
IT’S SO SENSELESS
SENSELESS

YOU WEAR THE MEDALS
SO YOU MUST BE THE HERO
YOU’RE LIKE A ROSE WITHOUT PETALS
JUST A PRICK AND A ZERO
I KNOW YOU’VE BEEN THERE
SO YOU SHOULD KNOW
BUT YOU ACT LIKE YOU DON’T CARE
CUZ IT MAKES YOU SO SICK YOU CAN’T LET YOURSELF SHOW IT

STOP
WHAT IS THIS
STOP
IT’S SENSELESS
STOP
WHAT IS THIS
STOP STOP STOP
IT’S SENSELESS
SENSELESS
SENSELESS
SENSELESS
SENSELESS
