[Verse 1: Elias Soriano, Rasheed Thomas, & B.C. Kochmit]
I won’t let you die off
Like a suicidal battery
Colored black in the back of a Friday the Thirteenth
Neon sign, dripping poison red, come on!
In fact, the facts are black and white
Stacked and used against us all
Yeah, lacks a sense so uncommon
A difference in opinion that’s begging to be forgotten (oh, oh)
‘Cause it’s rotten
[Chorus 1: Elias Soriano, Rasheed Thomas, & B.C. Kochmit]
Transaction unsatisfactory (oh)
(‘Cause it’s rotten)
Compassion, an empty battery
They’re making sad machines (oh, oh)
Then they turn eighteen
(‘Cause it’s rotten)
Transaction unsatisfactory
[Verse 2: Elias Soriano]
I’m not gonna die off
This isn’t that holiday feeling at all
Put away decorations, ugh
Relax on a meditation
Medication stacked
In fact, it’s black and white
Stacked and used against us all
It’s an abomination revelation
Evolution, revolution
[Chorus 2: Elias Soriano, Rasheed Thomas, & B.C. Kochmit]
Transaction unsatisfactory (oh, oh, oh)
(‘Cause it’s rotten)
Compassion, an empty battery
They’re making sad machines (oh, oh)
Then they turn eighteen
(‘Cause it’s rotten)
Transaction unsatisfactory
[Bridge: B.C. Kochmit with Rasheed Thomas]
Oh, (oh) oh
Oh, (oh) oh
[Chorus 2: Elias Soriano, Rasheed Thomas, & B.C. Kochmit]
Transaction unsatisfactory (oh, oh, oh)
(‘Cause it’s rotten)
Compassion, an empty battery
They’re making sad machines (oh, oh)
Then they turn eighteen
(‘Cause it’s rotten)
Transaction unsatisfactory
[Outro: Elias Soriano, Rasheed Thomas, & B.C. Kochmit]
Turning the light into something I can bend (oh, oh)
Into something just to find out that it’s worthless in the end
Turning the light into something I can bend (oh, oh)
Into something just to find out that it’s worthless in the end
