"My Name Is Ruin" is a song written and performed by Gary Numan, featured in the Season Twenty-Five episode "Help, My Teenager Hates Me!". It was written for the eighteen solo studio album, Savage (Songs from a Broken World).

Background

Gerald goes to help Kyle and the boys with playing Airsoft against teenagers with Randy, Stuart, and Jimbo as their allies. They all worked together against each teenager, with surprise attacks, and got to make the teenagers retreat and win. They all walked, thanking each other, and went to celebrate at the Coney Island Hotdog for some hotdogs. Randy asks if he could shoot them by surprise, but Gerald responds with it will take a few years for the boys to grow up as teenagers, calling them monsters. The song resumes during the episode's closing credits.

Lyrics

When they called me broken, I knew
When they called me evil, I knew
When they called me ruin, I knew
I would always find my way to you

When I begged forgiveness, they knew
When I begged for mercy, they knew
When I begged for nothing, they knew
I would always find my way to you

My name is ruin,
My name is vengeance,
My name is no one,
And no one is calling

My name is ruin,
My name is heartbreak,
My name is lonely,
My sorrow's a darkness

My name is ruin,
My name is evil,
My name's a war song,
I'll sing you a new one

My name is ruin,
My name is broken,
My name is shameless,
I'll tear your world open

When I called you poison, you knew
When I called you shameful, you knew
When I called you liar, you knew
I would always find my way to you

I'll show you ruin,
I'll show you vengeance,
I'll show you no one,
And no one is calling

I'll show you ruin,
I'll show you heartbreak,
I'll show you lonely,
And sorrow and darkness

I'll show you ruin,
I'll show you evil,
I'll sing you a war song,
I'll sing you a new one

I'll show you ruin,
I'll show you broken,
I'll show you shameless,
I'll tear your world open
