Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[Dm] Wake up in the morning, [G] clown face on,
[Bb] Masking my identity, [A] till the break of dawn,
[Dm] Got my own skeleton, [G] hidden behind the skin,
[Bb] Living in this world feels [A] like a sin.

(Chorus)
[F] I am the symptom, [C] I am the cause,
[G] Just another disease, [Am] breaking your laws.
[F] Rebellion is my cure, [C] music is my release,
[G] I am Another Disease, [Am] in your world of peace.

(Verse 2)
[Dm] Dancing in the moonlight, [G] we find our voice,
[Bb] Screaming against the system, [A] we make our choice,
[Dm] We’re not your puppet, [G] on a string,
[Bb] We are the chaos, [A] that freedom brings.

(Repeat Chorus)

Favorite Fan:
“Jenny ‘Riot’ Rourke is our number one fan. From our very first local gig in Brooklyn to our sold-out tour across the States, she has been with us in the front row, cheering us on. Her love for our music, our message, has always been unwavering. She once told us that Another Disease is her favorite band because our music speaks to her, it resonates with her own experiences and struggles. She admires our courage to question society, to stand up against what we believe is wrong, and to do it all so loudly through our music. She said, ‘Every time I listen to Another Disease, I feel understood, I feel less alone’. Jenny is more than just a fan to us, she’s part of our story, part of our rebellion.”
