[Verse 1] Society slipping, teeth in the chrome Hands in the jar, then they go back home Crime in the hallway, fear on the feed Truth gets buried where the faithful bleed Murder in the headlines, night after night Same old excuses dressed up as right Greedy grifters smiling through the dust Sell you the shame, then they call it trust [Pre-Chorus] And you can feel it In the air we breathe A whole world choking On the words they feed [Chorus] The rot within, the rot within Say it loud, let it blast The rot within, the rot within We see through the glass Moral decay On every screen Rotten broadcast Poisoning the streets [Verse 2] Corrupt politicians shaking your hand Writing their lies in the law of the land Big money laughing, small folks pay They take the night, then they take the day Mouth full of virtue, pockets full of bribes Selling the public a pack of lies Every clean promise turns to rust Every golden promise built on dust [Pre-Chorus] And you can feel it In the air we breathe A whole world choking On the words they feed [Chorus] The rot within, the rot within Say it loud, let it blast The rot within, the rot within We see through the glass Moral decay On every screen Rotten broadcast Poisoning the streets [Bridge] Who do you trust When the mask falls off? Who do you trust When the facts are lost? [Breakdown] No more smiles No more spin Drag the truth Back in [Final Chorus] The rot within, the rot within Say it loud, let it blast The rot within, the rot within We see through the glass Moral decay On every screen False broadcast Poisoning the streets The rot within The rot within We see through the glass
