Description
"Unnatural Selection" opens with a church organ before drums and "powerful" sounding guitars begin,[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
Incomplete and possibly incorrect
They laugh as they watch us fall Lucky they dont care at all No chance for fate It's Unnatural Selection I want the truth! I'm hungry for some unrest I'm gonna push it beyond peacful protest I wanna speak in a language they will understand Dedication to a new age This is the era of destruction and rampage Another chance to raise ??? again ??? comotion We are droplets in the ocean ocean They laugh as they watch us fall Lucky they don't care at all No chance for fate It's Unnatural Selection I want the truth! No illusion ??? powers ??? that they will find us Just make sure you're looking out for number one I'm hungry for some unrest I'm gonna push it beyond peaceful protest I wanna speak in a language they will understand ??? comotion We are droplets in the ocean ocean They laugh as they watch us fall Lucky they dont care at all No room for fate It's unmandatory Selection I want the truth! Try to ride out the storm They'll still make you believe ???? ???? ??? [easier to run?] [You won't be afraid?] ??? comotion ??? drop you to the ocean ocean, ocean! They laugh as they watch us fall Lucky they don't care at all And no chance for fate, It's unnatural selection, I want the truth, I want the truth, I want the truth! I want the truth!
