Something Rotten
We should have said something
We should have done something
Believed in something
We should have cried out
And faced our fears
But we said nothing
We did nothing
We didn't believe
In anything
Money couldn't buy
So we sold it all for money
Sold our souls
We pawned our treasures
And took the money they offered
To keep us quiet
We spent it all
We had one hell of a party
But hangovers come with longing
For what we used to have
And now it's too late
Somebody claimed our goods
Before we could buy them back
We no longer have a common soul
Nothing will keep us together
So we scatter
We wander without direction
Without a purpose
Or we frighten
Whenever we see belief
We scare at the sight of others
Who carry their cultures with pride
We should have said something
We should have done something
We should have at least believed
In something
