Lustful for Desaster Lyrics

“Many people, especially those reading only [the] rainbow press, seem to need catastrophes. And because many newspapers write about things in a way which isn’t true, they have an increasing edition – because they speak the same speech as these stupid people…”

Press never had such a big edition
Someone’s talking about ten thousand victims
While the first pictures are running over the screen
The whole world is burning for the killer news

The whole world turns on the TV
Reality is what you see
Hearts are beating faster
Lustful for disaster

Yesterday morning in the front of the post office
Life struggle in the middle of the street
A woman wants to commit suicide in her car
Tongues outside, eyes are open wide

She wants to commit suicide
People want to see it live
Hearts are beating faster
Lustful for disaster

The world is a big theatre
Death is the great spectacle
They’re buying death on paper
Big money with mankind’s fear

Headlines are filling your head everyday
With catastrophes and victims, disaster and disgraces
They’re making money with fate
Creating stories around nothing
What a satisfaction do some people find
To see a wounded or dying body lying on the street
Lustful they’re waiting for the next catastrophe
To have a topic for the chats of the next two weeks

Friday night, live and directly
Sister King Kong, the killer-catch queen
The whole damned world turns on the TV
Violence is what they need

The whole world turns on the TV
Reality is what you see
Hearts are beating faster
Lustful for disaster
