Lyrics:
When everything starts to burn
I'm breathing smog
I think this pollution is beginning to choke
on people's souls
As if their goals
In life are all about chasing wealth and gold

And most of them
They dare to say
That everything is currently okay
When in truth
We're sinking low
Like the confidence of all the Javan rhinos

Chorus 1:
Can't you see? Deterioration and degradation.
“Oh my dear, we do have emotions but we're only human.
What do you mean? We are not that perfect. We also need to survive!” (What about us?)

When everybody starts to run
From their lies
I see excuses in their eyes
Now we're in fright
Do we have rights?
Are we the ones to decide?

Can't you see? Deterioration and degradation
“Oh my dear, we do have emotions but we're only human.
What do you mean? We are not that perfect. We also need to survive,
and fight back”

[Interlude]

Slow Chorus:
Can't you see? Deterioration and degradation
“Oh my dear, we do have emotions but we're only human.
What do WE mean? We are not that perfect. We also need to survive...” (It's about us)

Can't you see? Deterioration & degradation...?
