Why the fuck can't you see what's going on?

I know, you know, we both ran

'Cause what can you do when I care for you

But what can I say, what I, I got, I got to say

Smack, crack, you'll get back

You'll have a heart attack

You're never coming back

Ruined, ruined

I think you got it wrong

Can't write a decent song

We all will sing along

Ruined, ruined

In the papers everyday

With nothing new to say

I wish you'd go away

Ruined, ruined

Don't believe the hype

I can smell the type

Pissed off every night

Ruined, ruined

You'll die

We'll all sigh

You'll go sky high

Through the roof

You'll die

We'll all sigh

You'll go sky high

Through the roof

Let's have a bit of rough

You think you're really tough

But just not hard enough

Ruined, ruined

We could get famous too

From different sniffing glue

The kids are on to you

Ruined, ruined

A living miracle

To all the cynical

Play pop and poppin' pills

Ruined, ruined

It's nearly over now

You should be asking how

There should be golden cow

Ruined, ruined

You'll die

We'll all sigh

You'll go sky high

Through the roof

You'll die

We'll all sigh

You'll go sky high

Through the roof
