Rotten

[Verse 1: Ben Marvin]
Look into the future
Will peace be found or man still shoot ya?
Technology rises
Uses for the greater good or still cause crisis?
What's the verdict?
We called for God but do you think he heard it?
And if he did, did he think mankind was worth it?
Did he think we deserved it?
Microchips, there's a human circuit
Spread worldwide from beneath the surface
No green left on the earth, cursed
Stuck in reverse, only getting worse
We await the grave
Won't live long, urban decay
Talking about these days gone by
Still question why

[Verse 2: Jot Maxi]
I'll spill any enemy
I don't wanna wake up with cables stuck in my gut
And have to cut some chip out my neck
To eject all the lies they been tellin' me
They keep telling us
That the nightmare will end but it never does
We're the rebellers and we tried to defend our heaven
But then yet again they deaded us
Plugged us into the machine
Now we're livin' life in a bad dream
I hate being stuck in the matrix, mate
Can't wait to escape and wake up my team
Look what the law has become
Check what the corporate forces have done
We can't run, all the doors have been shut
I’m exhausted and cut
World War IV has begun

[Chorus: Ben Marvin]
We can just about breathe but we're not alive
The sickness begins, see it in our eyes
Rotten from the inside out, you can shout you can scream
But in this future world we bleed
We can just about breathe but we're not alive
The sickness begins, see it in our eyes
Rotten from the inside out, you can shout you can scream
But in this world death’s the only guarantee

[Verse 3: J Hurley & Jot Maxi]
Filling our brains with the enemies' notions
We counteract explosions
I'm a virus, sicker than a backdoor Trojan
Killing off opponents
We are the cyborg soldiers
'Cause freedom is the focus
You've been warned
If you are not strong then you will be left for the vultures
I watched World War IV approach us
As we enter another dimension
Drones hovering, scanning our bodies to take information
As we fight alongside the resistance
We're the lyrical resurrection
Everything's been censored
I've been frozen and sectioned
My eyes are red, I detect tension
Like a Skynet invention

[Verse 4: Benji Wild]
Yes, listen
They failed us
They failed us in stages and lied about it
Didn't think that we would write about this
Orwellian reality and fight the powers, rah
They caged us
Promised that they would save us
They made us worship their saviours
First it was martial law and tasers
Now I'm rippin' this ID code from my skin with a razor
Wake up, wake up, wake up
To many man'll fall victim
Flushed out get lost in the system, ah
So listen
It's too late to appreciate wisdom
You're trapped, this is reality
I hope you appreciate prison

[Chorus: Ben Marvin]
We can just about breathe but we're not alive
The sickness begins, see it in our eyes
Rotten from the inside out, you can shout you can scream
But in this future world we bleed
We can just about breathe but we're not alive
The sickness begins, see it in our eyes
Rotten from the inside out, you can shout you can scream
But in this world death’s the only guarantee

[Verse 5: Traxx]
Did you really think the government was backing you?
Woop-woop
Yeah they're attacking you, yeah, yeah
They be lacking too
Tell you what we know that they know what we know
And I wish I was eleven foot taller
Wish I was a bad boy baller
Then I could've prevented this or that
Put my faith on the line and a gun to my face
And it could've been the end of Traxx
Hold me back
Know a couple brothers that will hold me back
Now I got a tracker on my arm and I can't go nowhere
I refuse to be abused but I can't fight back
And I know you can hear us and I know you can hear us
But I can't fight back
I got the brrp on my back
