[Verse 1]
Broken speakers in this community hall
Mom's breathing heavy, but we're standing tall
Eight years old, watching sparks fly
Static feedback making angels cry
Cheap equipment, but we make it work
Every glitch tells stories of the hurt
[Chorus]
F*ck perfect sound, we're breaking through
These wires tell the truth about you
Distorted love in digital space
Working class heroes leave their trace
(Leave their trace, leave their trace)
[Verse 2]
NHS waiting room, counting days
While the beat drops through the haze
Mom turned nothing into gold
Now I'm doing what I'm told
Garage rhythms shake these walls
Every broken sound recalls
How she fought through endless nights
Making wrong connections right
[Bridge]
System failure's in my veins
Generational pains
But we dance through static nights
Making beauty out of spite
Making beauty out of spite!
[Chorus]
F*ck perfect sound, we're breaking through
These wires tell the truth about you
Distorted love in digital space
Working class heroes leave their trace
(Leave their trace, leave their trace)
[Verse 3]
Eight-bit memories flash and fade
Every glitch a message made
Mom's voice echoes through the noise
Teaching survival to her boys
Cheap gear but expensive dreams
Nothing's ever what it seems
But we're making magic here
Through the static, crystal clear
[Outro]
(Distorted whispers)
In this broken frequency
Found the strength you gave to me
Every error, every crash
Builds a future from the past
Builds a future from the past
(System overload)
