Instrumentation

In terms of instruments, this is a simple song, focusing on just the guitar, bass and drums, with a little keyboard thrown in during certain parts. It also features Matt and his signature Queen-like stacked vocals during the final part, which also features a short guitar solo.

Another one of the two songs to use Jeff Buckley's Telecaster. According to Matt, he used it during the verses.

Lyrics

transcribed

(Dom)We're playing together

You Really believe We can survive all of this The black vacuum of universe It was designed To swallow us whole It's a losing game

[Chorus x2:] We're at death door Another world war Wildfires and earthquakes I foresaw A life in crisis A deadly virus Tsunamis of hate are gonna drown us a-a-a-a-ah We are fucking fucked(x2)

True Good when you think You're safe and secure You'll forget what you need to remember Living in peace but you live in a lie The game is rigged

We're at death door Another world war Wildfires and earthquakes I foresaw A life in crisis A deadly virus Tsunamis of hate are gonna drown us a-a-a-a-ah We are fucking fucked(x2)

Hold up Stockpile Hold up We are getting fucking fucked

a-a-a-a-ah We are fucking fucked o-o-o-o-oh We are fucking fucked

Hey hey hey Fuck off Hey hey hey Stockpile Hey hey hey Fuck off Hey hey hey We are getting fucking fucked
