[English]

In a place where they fail to inspire

I'm drinking the bleach so that I feel the fire

Inside is a riot but I'm in too deep

A mile in

A mile in

In a place where they think I'm a stranger

I'm shaving my face with a coke covered razor

I press hard so it goes in deep

A mile in

A mile in

I'm a 21st Century liability

I'm a 21st Century liability

I'm a 21st Century liability

(BANG BANG BANG)

It's all Bollocks

I'm a 21st Century liability

I'm a 21st Century liability

I'm a 21st Century liability

(BANG BANG BANG)

It's all Bollocks

...

When I was younger I had a proper plan

Keep myself naive take advice from the man

But I turned 17 and I saw in my head

He was blowing up the world with a ball point pen

I met a person I think I fell in love

A certain kind of love you can't find in drugs

But I fucked it up needed alone time

It's like I killed myself "I love you long time"

I'm a 21st Century liability

I'm a 21st Century liability

I'm a 21st Century liability

(BANG BANG BANG)

It's all Bollocks

I'm a 21st Century liability

I'm a 21st Century liability

I'm a 21st Century liability

(BANG BANG BANG)

It's all Bollocks

...

I'm a 21st Century liability

I'm a 21st Century liability

I'm a 21st Century liability

I'm a 21st Century liability

I'm a 21st Century liability

I'm a 21st Century liability

I'm a 21st Century liability

(BANG BANG BANG)

It's all Bollocks

I'm a 21st Century liability

I'm a 21st Century liability

I'm a 21st Century liability

(BANG BANG BANG)

It's all Bollocks

...
