Roots Rot. Lyrics by Lady Pendulum

2020

Five against one
Guess who's on the run
Always on their knees
Begging to appease

So much easier is it to snap my fingers and let you disappear
But you still hold on
Claiming only battles can be lost

Inside you feel the pesticides and maggots counting your time
When the sun rises, it’s so dark…

Obnoxious murmuring
Fuck, these walls are thin.
It's five against one
The only secret known to us

It's operation madness
Only killed out of action
The battles have all been lost
But a war is to be won

But as the sun rises
The birds in fear of dying
Scream recklessly, endlessly
Five to one, assured defeat

Trapped behind their noises
A voice in fear or choices
Traps the lonely one
’Only battles are to be won'

So much easier is it to snap my fingers and let you disappear
But you still hold on
Claiming that a war is to be won
It's five against one
And you're always on the run

Good things only happen to great people
This wouldn't of happened if you weren't so evil
The sun rises, you defy by saying we pull

Obnoxious murmuring.
Fuck these walls are so thin
As the sun rises
The birds afraid of the sky…
