[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1: Kele Okereke]
Cain said to Abel
"Brother, I've been bad
Killed a fleet of angels with my bare hands"
Cain said to Abel
"Brother, I've been bad, and I can't find my glasses"
[Chorus: Kele Okereke]
This self-obsessed sinner, I hear he loves to drink
This self-obsessed sinner, I hear he loves a fight
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2: Kele Okereke]
Success has been cruel, this year has been hard
Falling out of love with the one thing I had loathed
[Chorus: Kele Okereke]
This self-obsessed sinner, I hear he loves to drink
This self-obsessed sinner, I hear he loves a fight
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge: Gordon Moakes]
Discipline, discipline, disappearing
Echoing, echoing, exiting
Discipline, discipline disappearing
Nothing there, nothing works, nothing matters
Everytime, everytime, I look over
Everything, everyone, every time
Family, family, shredded by liberty, liberty, literally
You can be, you can be, you can see
It literally, literally, instantly
History, history disappearing
Echoing, echoing, exiting
You look up, you look over, you can see it
Disappearing, disappearing instantly
Literally, literally, telling them
They'll be different, they'll be special, they'll be better
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: Kele Okereke]
This self-obsessed sinner, I hear he loves to drink
This self-obsessed sinner, I hear he loves a fight
