RUSTY EMPIRE [Verse 1] They built that cage with a smile and a badge Tryna make fear look clean in a lab But I seen the bolts, I seen the cracks Seen the whole machine run on the backs Of the ones they press, of the ones they break Of the bread they steal and the names they take Old rusty ride, all smoke, no soul One more mile and it falls in a hole We don't swing first, we move with grace Hands on heart, but fire in the face They want us furious, split, and blind So we stay sharp with a different mind [Pre-Chorus] Let it rot, let it show Truth don't bend, it just grows When they push, we link up close When they lie, we know the code [Chorus] Love and self-organize Love and self-organize We don't feed the cage We build outside Love and self-organize Love and self-organize Old rust car go dead Trash of time [Verse 2] They want a target, a name, a face Something easy to choke in place So we don't stand lone, we move as one Little circles in the morning sun Soup on the table, books in the room Hands that repair what the damage consumed No king, no boss, no chain, no throne Just the people making power from home Most peaceful ones are the hardest to catch 'Cause they don't hand back an excuse to latch Most caring ones are the hardest to beat 'Cause they turn your hunger into defeat [Pre-Chorus] Let it rot, let it show Truth don't bend, it just grows When they push, we link up close When they lie, we know the code [Chorus] Love and self-organize Love and self-organize We don't feed the cage We build outside Love and self-organize Love and self-organize Old rust car go dead Trash of time [Bridge] No need to smash what is already dying Let it choke on the weight of its lying We don't match their wrecking and spite We outlast with care, we outshine with light Brick by brick, hand by hand Every neighbor learning how to stand What they call weak is the final blow They can't fight the seed that won't let go [Chorus] Love and self-organize Love and self-organize We don't feed the cage We build outside Love and self-organize Love and self-organize Old rust car go dead Trash of time
