    "You have had all that money can give you, but 
    that wasn't enough. You became a thrill seeker..."
    "...kill for a thrill."
    "This thrill seeking became the one great thing in 
    your life, piling one thrill on another until... 
    the murder." 
    "...kill for the love of killing."
    "Guilty."
    "The thrill seeker comes from all walks of life... 
    comes from the home, the home where the parents are 
    too busy to train their children respect."
    "So what!" 
    "So what."
    "Some people think newspapers exaggerate juvenile 
    crime, or that it's confined mostly to large cities. 
    Juvenile delinquencies on the rise, thus apparent that 
    something has gone wrong with the environment. Adults 
    create the world children live in. Juvenile delinquency 
    is always rooted in adult deliquency, and in this 
    process parents play the key role. When children grow 
    up among adults who refuse to recognize anything that 
    is fine and good or worthy of respect..."

    LYRICS (official)
    Scum-sucking depravity debauched!
    Anal fuck-fest, thrill Olympics
    Savage scourge, supply and sanctify
    So what? So what?
    
    You said it!
    Sedatives supplied become laxatives
    My eyes shit out lies
    I only kill to know I'm alive
    So what? So what?
    
    So what, it's your problem to learn to live with
    Destroy us, or make us saints
    We don't care, it's not our fault
    That we were born too late
    A screaming headache on the brow of the state
    Killing time is appropriate
    To make a mess and fuck all the rest
    We say, we say
    So what? So what?
    
    Now I know what is right
    I'll kill them all if I like
    I'm a time bomb inside
    
    No one listens to reason,
    It's too late and I'm ready to fight!
    So what? Now I'm ready to fight!
