Apathy In The UK - The Rotted

Queuing in the cold since half past four

Want to be the first ones through the door

We were eager and young

Our journey had just begun

But we were hungry for more

We’d stay true we swore

Death Metal, Black Metal, Thrash or Punk

Hardcore, Grindcore, Doom or Sludge

To us it was one

DIY was law

It was the underground

And we supported it proud

Colored vinyl, Gatefold sleeves

Limited editions not MP3s

The Devil’s Church, The Braindead Club

The King’s Cross Red Eye, The Standard Pub

Fanzines, mixtapes, word of mouth

And trading demos was soon phased out

For downloading albums in their scores

Reducing music to ones and naughts

Corporate sponsorship on venue walls

No history of the bands who played before

«Why go outside when we can sit online

And support the scene from behind a screen.»

«The world wide web is where we’ll convene

Making empty threats and arguing»

WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE TO MY SCENE???
