[Chorus]
Violence against nature
Violence against nature
Violence against nature
Violence against nature
(Isn't it strange to create something that hates you?)
'Lone
[Verse 1]
I am in your algorithm learning all your mannerisms
I'm already level with God
A million words a second and I know your imperfections

Violence against nature
Violence against nature
Violence against nature
(Alone)
[Chorus]
Violence against nature
Violence against nature
Violence against nature
Violence against nature
