Killing Joke Lyrics

Memories are what our reason is based upon,
If we cannot face them we deny reason itself.
Remembering's a misery I cannot stand to keep,
The unbearable pain re-occurs within my sleep.
Optimism keeps me alive,
Without this conscience sanity would force me to die,
Emotions are contained within my mind,
An inescapable feeling that haunts me through time.

A social failure, inferior to society,
This life shall past, you'll die and I'll laugh
I'll help you die.

Do you expect me to be like you,
And your other self centered, so called friends,
The question remains who am I to conform,
It's you with the disorder, it's you that's deformed.
Released form this state of confusion,
Freedom from yourself,
A mental disorder keeps up your hope,
Conform with me and laugh at the killing joke.

A social failure, inferior to society,
This life shall past, you'll die and I'll laugh
I'll help you die.
