Description
"Unnatural Selection" opens with a church organ before drums and "powerful" sounding guitars begin, calming down afterwards, before coming back to a 'metallic' end riff.[3] Going on to be one of the more guitar-driven songs on The Resistance.[4]
Additional information
Christopher Wolstenholme thinks that the song might address the idea of the British royal family being descendants of giant lizards, as proposed by David Icke among others.[5]
Lyrics
They'll laugh as they watch us fall The lucky don't care at all No chance for fate It's unnatural selection I want the truth! I'm hungry for some unrest I wanna push it beyond a peaceful protest I wanna speak in a language that they will understand Dedication to a new age This is the end of destruction and rampage Another chance to raise and never plead again Counter balance this commotion We're not droplets in the ocean ocean They'll laugh as they watch us fall The lucky don't care at all No (hey) chance (hey) for fate (hey) It's unnatural selection I want the truth! No religion or mind virus Is there a hope that the facts would ever find us Just make sure that you are looking out for number one I'm hungry for some unrest Well let's push it beyond a peaceful protest I wanna speak in a language that you will understand Counter balance this commotion We're not droplets in the ocean Ocean! They'll laugh as they watch us crawl The lucky don't share at all No (hey) hope (hey) for fate (hey) It's a random chance selection I want the truth! Try to ride out the storm, I'll still make you believe They are the special ones We have not been chosen Your justice is annulled You won't be the first And you know that you won't be the last Counter balance this commotion, We're not droplets in the ocean ocean, ocean, ocean! They'll laugh as they watch us fall And the lucky, they don't care at all No (hey) chance (hey) for fate (hey) It's unnatural selection, I want the truth, I want the truth, I want the truth! I want the truth!
