Muse : The 2nd Law
Lyrics
1. SUPREMACY
Wake to see that true emancipation is a fantasy.
The seas have risen up and overcome the brave.
Greatness dies, unsung and lost, invisible to history.
Embedded spies brainwashing our children to be mean.
You don't have long,
I am on to you
The time, it has come to destroy...
Your supremacy
Ooh
Ooh
You don't have long,
I am on to you
The time, it has come to destroy...
Your supremacy
Your
Supremacy
Yeah, yeah
2. MADNESS
(Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma)
I, I can't get these memories out of my mind,
And some kind of madness is started to evolve.
(Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma)
I, I tried so hard to let you go,
But some kind of madness is swallowing me whole, yeah
(Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma)
I have finally seen the light,
And I have finally realized,
What you mean.
Ooh
And now I need to know is this real love
Or is it just madness keeping us afloat?
(Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma)
And when I look back at all the crazy fights we had
Like some kind of madness
Was taking control
(Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma)
Yeah
And now I have finally seen the light,
And I have finally realized,
What you need.
Mmm
(Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma)
And now I have finally seen the end
(Finally seen the end)
And I am not expecting you to care
(Expecting you to care)
But I have finally seen the light
(Finally seen the light)
I have finally realized
(Realized)
I need your love!
I need your love!
Come to me,
Trust in your dream
Come on and rescue me.
Yes I have known, I can be wrong
Maybe I’m too headstrong
Our love is...
(Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma)
Madness
3. PANIC STATION
You won't get much closer
Till you sacrifice it all (all)
You won't get to taste it
With your face against the wall (wall all)
Get up and commit to
The power trapped within (in in)
Do just what you want to
Now stand up and begin
Ooh 1, 2, 3, 4 fire is in your eyes
When it 's came your sacrifice imagination
Ooh 5, 6, 7, minus 9 lives
You've arrived at Panic Station !
That's whats trying to break you
Unleash your heart and soul (soul)
Trouble will surround you
Start taking some control (come on !)
Stand up and deliver
Your wildest fantasy
Do what the fuck you want to
There's no one to repeat
Ooh 1, 2, 3, 4 fires in your eyes
And it 's came to sanctify imagination
Ooh 5, 6, 7, minus 9 lives
You've arrived at Panic Station !
Ooh 1, 2, 3, 4 fire is in your eyes
When it came your sacrifice imagination
Ooh 5, 6, 7, minus 9 lives
Well, I know that soon we'll fight for recognition
Ooh 1, 2, 3, 4 fires in your eyes
And I know that the system hasn't teached us
Ooh 5, 6, 7, minus 9 lives
You've arrived at Panic Station !
4. PRELUDE
(Instrumental)
5. SURVIVAL
Race
Life's a race
But I'm gonna win
Yes, I'm gonna win
And I'll light the fuse
And I'll never lose
And I choose to survive
Whatever it takes
You won't pull ahead
I'll keep up the pace
And I'll reveal my strength
To the whole human race
Yes, I am prepared
To stay alive
I won't forgive
Vengeance is mine
And I won't give in
Because I choose to fight
Yeah, we're gonna win
Race
It's a race
But I'm gonna win
Yes, I'm gonna win
And I'll light the fuse
And I'll never lose
And I choose to survive
Whatever it takes
You won't pull ahead
I'll keep up the pace
And I'll reveal my strength
To the whole human race
Yes, I'm gonna win
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Win! Win! Win! Win!
Yes, I'm gonna win!
6. FOLLOW ME
When darkness falls and surrounds you
When you fall down
When you're scared and you're lost
Be brave
I'm coming to hold you now
All the strength has gone
And you feel wrong
Like your life has slipped away
Follow me, you can follow me
And I, I will not desert you now
When your fire has died out
And no ones there
They have left you for dead
Follow me, you can follow me
I'll keep you safe
Follow me, you can follow me
I will protect you
I won't let them
Hurt, hurt you
When your heart is broken
You can follow me, you can follow me
I will always keep you safe
Follow me, you can trust in me
I will always protect you my love
I will fear nothing
You will be held
7. ANIMALS
Animal, you're animal
Don't take anything else
Out of control, you're out of control
Strike those in distress
Analyse, Advertise, Expand
Bend more rules
Buy yourself an island
Animals, we animals
Buy when blood is on the street
Out of control, you're out of control
Crush those who beg at your feet
Analyse, Franchise, Spread out
Kill the competition
And buy yourself an ocean
Advertise, Downsize, Allure
Kill yourself
Come on and do all a favour
8. EXPLORERS
Once I hoped to seek the new unknown
This planet's overrun
There's nothing left for you or for me
Don't give in
We can walk through the fields
And feeling nature's glow
But all the land is owned
There's none left for you or for me
Who will win?
Cause I concede
Free me
Free me
Free me from this world
I don't belong here
It was a mistake imprisoning my soul
Can you free me
Free me from this world?
A world lush in bloom
With rivers running wild
They'll be rerouted South
With none left for you or for me
Don't give in
And hear the engines roar
And save our crops from drought
And when the black gold's in doubt
There's none left for you or for me
Fusing free
Our last hope
Free me
Free me
Free me from this world
We don't belong here
It was a mistake imprisoning our souls
Can you free me
Free me from this world?
Aaah...
Free me
I'll free you
Free us from this world
We don't belong here
It was a mistake imprisoning our souls
Can you free me
Free me from this world?
Free me
Free me
Free me from this world
We don't belong here
It was a mistake imprisoning our souls
Can you free me
Free me from this world?
Aaah...
Shh
Go to sleep
9. BIG FREEZE
Healed (healed)
Or are you still just reeling?
Are you fine (fine)
Have you found a way to escape?
Are you here (here)
Just because I need you?
Can we hold up?
A big freeze is heading our way
We are hiding to nowhere
We still hope (hope)
But our dreams are not the same
And I... I lost before I started
I'm collapsing in stellar clouds of gas
Heal me
What words just can't convey
Feel me
Don't let the sun in your heart decay
Fight (fight)
Or will you show me mercy (mercy)?
We expelled (expelled)
The goodness from our hearts (hearts)
Are you here (here)
Just to prove your willing?
Can you hold up
And ride out this electrical storm?
We destroyed something beautiful
We have faith (faith)
But our truths are not the same, no
Don't give up (up)
Don't let the magic leave us (leave us)
Stop the loneliest force becoming king of the universe
Heal me
What words just can't convey
Feel me
Don't let the sun in your heart decay
Don't give up
Don't let the magic leave us
We're collapsing in stellar clouds of gas
Ooh
Heal me
What words just can't convey
Feel me
Don't let the sun in our hearts decay
10. SAVE ME
Save me from my superstitions
Now I'm free from this old condition
Wait just a while
And I'll greet you with a smile
Hold me 'cause I'm sure I'm hated
Promises they are overrated
Wait just a while
While I'm drowning in denial
Turn me into someone like you
Find a place that we can go to
Run away and take me with you
Don't let go I need your rescue
Watch me 'cause I'm on a mission
Hold me back so I'm forced to listen
Don't let me go 'cause I'm nothing without you
Turn me into someone like you
Find a place that we can go to
Run away and take me with you
Don't let go I need you rescue
Turn me into someone like you
Find a place that we can go to
Run away and take me with you
Don't let go I need your rescue
11. LIQUID STATE
Take me for a ride
Break me up and steal what's left inside
And hope and pray inequity has died
And sigh enough to stop
I'm already hurt
Bring me peace and wash away my dirt
Spin me 'round and help me to divert
And walk into the light
Warm my heart tonight
And hold my head up high
And help me to survive
Kick me when I'm down
Feed me poison, fill me 'til I drown
Wake me up before I get pushed out
And fall into the night
Warm my heart tonight
And hold my head up high
And help me to survive
12. THE 2ND LAW : UNSUSTAINABLE
All natural and technological processes proceed in such a Way that the availability of the remaining energy decreases.
In all energy exchanges,
If no energy enters or leaves an isolated system, the Entropy of that system increases.
Energy continuously flows from being concentrated, to Becoming dispersed, spread out, wasted and useless.
New energy cannot be created and high grade energy is being Destroyed.
An economy based on endless growth is
Unsustainable
Unsus-
Unsustain- unsustain- unsust-
Unsus-
unsustaina- unsustainable
Unsus-
Unsustain- unsustain- unsust-
Unsus- unsus-
You're unsustainable
Unsustaina- unsustainable
The fundamental laws of thermodynamics will place fixed Limits on technological innovation and human advancement.
In an isolated system the entropy can only increase.
A species set on endless growth is
Unsustainable
Unsus-
Unsustain- unsustain- unsust
Unsus-
Unsustaina- unsustainable

Unsustain- unsustain- unsust-
Unsus- unsus-
You're unsustainable
