Rotten to the Core Lyrics

I have got a secret, hidden behind my eyes
A violation tragedy of violence hate and lies
Locked deep within a chamber, dark reccesses of my mind
A tribute to insanity! through hours days and time

Rotten to the core
Rotten to the core
Rotten to the core
Rotten to the core

Recite the testimonial, truth and nothing more
Accusations nominal fall rotten to the core
So take a look, read a book, reach a new plateau
But stain the soul, a life you took
You know not what I know

Rotten to the core
Rotten to the core
Rotten to the core
Rotten to the core

Misguided youth the bitter truth
Nothing left to chance
Fallen angel seeking adventure, new romance
How dare you touch you take the soul
Of one so pure so white
The violation tragedy
Took all she had that night

Rotten to the core
Rotten to the core
Rotten to the core
Rotten to the core

I have got a secret hidden behind my eyes
A violation tragedy of violence hate and lies
Recite the testimonial, truth and nothing more
Accusations nominal fall rotten to the core

Rotten to the core
Rotten to the core
Rotten to the core
Rotten to the core

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
