WTF?

Lyrics
Race, life's a race
And I'm gonna win
Yes, I'm gonna win
I'll light the fuse
And I'll never lose
And I choose to survive
Whatever it takes
You won't pull ahead
I'll keep up the pace
And I'll give you my strength
To the whole human race
Yes, I am prepared
To stay alive
I won't forgive
Vengeance is mine
And I won't give in
Because I choose to thrive
Yeah I'm gonna win
Race, it's a race
But I'm gonna win
Yes, I'm gonna win
I will light the fuse
I'll never lose
I choose to survive
Whatever it takes
You won't pull ahead
Because I'll keep up the pace
And I'll give you my strength
To the whole human race
Yeah I'm gonna win
Yes I'm gonna win
And I'm gonna win
Yes, I'm gonna win
I'll light the fuse
And I'll never lose
And I choose to survive
Whatever it takes
You won't pull ahead
I'll keep up the pace
And I'll give you my strength
To the whole human race
Yes, I am prepared
To stay alive
I won't forgive
Vengeance is mine
And I won't give in
Because I choose to thrive
Yeah I'm gonna win
Race, it's a race
But I'm gonna win
Yes, I'm gonna win
I will light the fuse
I'll never lose
I choose to survive
Whatever it takes
You won't pull ahead
Because I'll keep up the pace
And I'll give you my strength
To the whole human race
Yeah I'm gonna win
Yes I'm gonna win
Something smells rotten to me, and it's not in Denmark, either;-)
How could they use a song like this? I agree. Something's rotten here.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a song I'd have chosen either but: what is this 'rotten' that you (and Trish) mention?
ReplyDelete“Something is rotten in the state of Denmark” is used to describe corruption or a situation in which something is wrong.
ReplyDeleteThat's the feeling I'm getting.
Not a song of choice with lyrics like
" I won't forgive
Vengeance is mine "
" I will light the fuse "
When there is rumours of terrorism surrounding the event.
Who OK's this type of song for an event like this?
Sure, but after Marcellus says this Horatio goes on to say, "Heaven will direct it."
DeleteI just want to send out good vibes about the Olympics. Yes, there could be problems (as there could be anywhere in the world) - but let's think positive: Heaven may well direct it!
Fingers crossed, of course!!

I quite like Muse. It's typical them. I didn't know they had a new album...
ReplyDeleteMatthew Bellamy (front man of muse) - "It's about total conviction and pure determination to win."
ReplyDeleteRyan Hargreaves (random member of general public)- "For the standard of muse I'm used to, this song is like looking down into a toilet bowl"
Everyone's a critic!
