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

(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
