Theme
This song adopts the persona of a megalomaniacal antagonist—a 'king of suffering' who is 'addicted to myself.' It represents pure, self-centered evil, intent on destroying others' hopes and dreams. The character embodies the ultimate narcissist and manipulator, seeing the world as his personal **'Life In Hell'** and claiming to be the source of others' madness and pain.
Lyrics
Busted, caught red-handed again
You can't be trusted, born to lose, you'll never win
You're so corrupted, you stand before us condemned
So maladjusted to the world we're living and dying in
Spy versus spy, you will never have friends
You deny, the truth of where you've never been
You get caught, and then the blame game begins
A couple drinks, and then you'll feel okay
A couple pills makes the world go away
What the hell, you'll die anyway, and you'll say
I'm a disease, and I'm addicted to myself
I'm all I need, I'm gonna live and die in hell, ha!
No fingerprints, you erased you exist
Kill or be killed, how you get your kicks
Over, and over, you just couldn't resist
A couple drinks, and then you'll feel okay
A couple pills makes the world go away
What the hell, you'll die anyway, and you'll say
I'm a disease, and I'm addicted to myself
I'm all I need, I'm gonna live and die in hell
Only a fool would do what you've done
You lie, you steal, and you cheat everyone
When your caught in your most despicable deed
You plead the caught for diplomatic immunity
You may be eloquent with your savoir fare
But each time the smoke clears, another body's there
You've had more than your share of good advice
There's nothing left to say, now, except have a life
Their faces haunt your dreams, each, and every night
When it gets too much, in your ring there's cyanide
Now everything fades out, and you depart just like a ghost
The devil says, welcome to hell, I will be your host
There's no reason left to say goodbye
There's no reason left to live or die
Judgment's waiting, it's the end of the line
Your existence and this twisted game
The definition of criminally insane
It won't be long until you do it again, you'll see
I'm a disease (life in hell)
I'm all I need (die in hell)
I'm a disease (life in hell)
I'm all I need (die in hell)
I'm a disease (life in hell)
I'm all I need (die in hell)
I'm a disease (life in hell)
I'm all I need (die in hell)
