I don't owe you anything,
What are you asking for?
You just get under my skin,
It's just you (that) I would ignore.
You came to take away my freedom,
In your religion's name,
You came to take away my freedom,
In your religion's name
I've no reverence, for your laws
They're redundant, like your cause
You came to take away my freedom,
In the name of your religion,
You came to take my freedom,
In the name of your religion.
I've no reverence, for your laws...

So you use this scene meaning to be rockstars? We see straight through you
Naive and so green, you left me so inspired bruv, We see straight through you
Trying to be everything that you're not,
Corporate asshole, now here's my finger!
Fuck fake shit, we'll show you how, we see straight through you x2
Trying to be everything that you're not,
You're a slithering asshole, a scheming sod.
We'll show you how!
Fuck fake shit, we'll show you how!

Kau bukan bossku

Kemana prinsip, ketelusan, kemanusiaan?
Tolak politik, perkauman, kebencian.
Pikiran sempit berpaksikan ketuanan,
Tamak wang ringgit, rakyat marhaen kelaparan.
Kau hanya manusia, kau bukan dewata, kau bukan, kau bukan bossku
Kau hanya pendusta, pemimpin yang perasuah, kau bukan, bukan bossku.
Translation:
Where are the principles of transparency, humanity?
Reject the politics of race, (and) hate.
Narrow-mindedness is based on supremacy,
Greedy for money, as the common people stay hungry.
You're only a human being, and not a (higher) deity. (No) you're not, you're not the boss of me.
You're only a trickster, a corrupt leader. (No) you're not, you're not the boss of me!

In the shadows of the city, where our dreams are always crushed,
It's the weight of our own poverty, a relentless rush.
It's the system, that's so broken,
We're just voiceless, given lies.
It's the system, that's so broken,
We're just voiceless, and struggling to survive.
You're a victim of persecution, where your fortunes rise and fall,
And your poverty's a prison, holding us in its thrall.

Nightcrawler

In the pitch black of night,
While everyone else is sleeping,
There's a man who's awake, he pulsates with heavy breathing,
His conscience seems clear, and yet he's ever so brooding,
But there's nowhere else, or no one else to whom he belongs,
He's all desolate, his anguish is inked all through his skin,
He's damned this earth and vows to ever watch it burn.
His dreams are shattered, a lonesome tragedy,
His spirit was undying, but now it's time to grieve,
His past comes back to haunt him, and yet there's no relief,
The oceans of despair, can't change his history.
He's the nightcrawler amid chaos and disorder,
As slender as the prince of dreams,
As conniving as lucifer.
His dreams are shattered, a lonesome tragedy,
His spirit was undying, but now it's time to grieve,
His past comes back to haunt him, and yet there's no relief.
The oceans of despair can't change his history.

Agent orange

Soldiers bombed them in the hills,
Rebels hunkered down to be killed...
In the midst of war, a deadly haze unfurled,
A name forever etched, a story of the world.
Agent Orange, a silent killer's design,
Leaving scars and memories that won't unwind.
Agent Orange, a toxic rain that fell,
A haunting legacy, the toll it did compel.
Through the shadows, we still hear the cries,
Agent Orange, a wound that never dies.
The forests wept as chemicals took flight,
Silently poisoning, concealing endless plight.
Leaving destruction in the land it touched,
A bitter testament to battles we clutched.
But from the darkness, a chorus starts to rise,
Voices of resilience, hope within their eyes.
Mending wounds, rebuilding what was lost,
Healing the scars, no matter the cost.
The years have passed, but the pain remains,
Stories untold, carrying lasting stains.
Yet, in unity, we'll find our strength anew,
To honour those affected, fight for justice true.
Agent Orange, a toxic rain that fell,
A haunting legacy, the toll it did compel.
Through the shadows, we still hear the cries,
Agent Orange, a wound that never dies.
