lyrics

CORRUPTED

corrupted, corrupted
whatever you do, corrupted
whatever you speak, corrupted
whatever I see, corrupted
whatever I feel

universal laws
unforgettable rules
were not written
all that glitters is not gold

road to hell, lead by the smell of coins
misguided, feeding our vanity
calamity is waiting for us

black knight, dressed up with fake fortune clothes
gaps filled with dirty green notes
the shortest path isn´t always the best one
stop money slavery, stop money slavery

raindrops, falling against my trench
if you never step outside, step outside
you might never get wet

if you never try you never get
if you just obey, get used to beg
kneel and pray your god for help
just hope won´t give you the chance, you say

“castaway in a crowd
a clown, stranger in my own town”
hit the ground, push them down, claim so loud
that everyone can hear you
somebody could help you
«come to the rescue»

corrupted, corrupted
whatever you do, corrupted
whatever you speak, corrupted
whatever i see, corrupted
whatever i feel

jinglin´ rounded guns that shoot missery, law of the jungle people starving
unexpected consecuences landing, no one but me can be my protector my own savior
hunger leads to anger, soon there won´t be any cure against decadence,
ignorance, money washes brains and hopes while tenderness
lost a site among the bonds of conquering new practices
free will empire, a joke? I would inquire becoming a mess, less means even less
corrupted, everything corrupted
the journalist who tells the truth is killed and nobody can stop it
corrupted, everything corrupted
war disguised as peace and chiildren as cruel sergeants…
