Description
The song's title has been "officially" leaked on March 14th, 2022 via the JSON output from wontstanddown.muse.mu, which contains basic album info.
Implied as a frenetic finale of the brutally honest lyrics[3] , according to Matt Bellamy, this is the "weirdest, darkest lost B-side of Muse's life".[4] NME described it as an "anthem of the apocalypse" in an interview with Matt Bellamy in June of 2022.[5]
According to some reviews, this song in particular slightly has a clang of punk rock band "The Dead Kennedys", with "funny-Trump-speeches". Kerrang described the track as a straigthforward, stripped back riffer, while Gigwise described it as "the most joyous-sounding outpouring of helplessness about the impending doom of the planet", comparing it to Biffy Clyro.[6]
Another one of the two songs to use Jeff Buckley's Telecaster. According to Matt, he used it during the verses.

Lyrics
transcribed {{lyrics 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 }}
