Decay

(lyrics by Fizz)

Down in the sewers the rats live their lives.
Up in the tenements a hungry child cries.

Out in the forests the wolves stalk their prey.
And I in my world can smell the decay.

(chorus)
Smell the decay, shout loud today.
Hold your head high; learn to defy.
This is your call; stand up walk tall.
Bang on the drum, no need to succumb.

Here in our homes we are told what to do,
How we should act and what they think is true.
