I spent all day trying to crack this:
The UK gigs had the 'we will rise in the sea' type stuff but now that line doesn't seem to make an appearance in the recent New York gigs - replaced by 'kill by remote control / mind control'. It may have also been 'bodies on the shore' at one time, but again now replaced by 'War is all a show'. (that's what I'm hearing anyway, and makes perfect sense to me.)
I'm 99% confident these are the correct lyrics based on Webster Hall/iheart recordings. I wonder why the different versions at the New York gigs compared to the UK ones. Just Matt experimenting while he can? He did seem to be constantly switching the order of lines at each UK gig (which did my head in before deciding to just focus on the recent recordings). Anyway...
Home, it's becoming a killing field
There's a cross hair locked on my heart
With no recourse
And there's no one behind the wheel
Hellfire
You're wiping me out
Killed by!
Kill by remote control
War is all a show
You gotta see I am open
I acknowledge to launch
War, war just moved up a gear
I don't think I can handle the truth
I'm just a pawn
And we're all expendable
Incidentally
Electronically erased
Killed by! ( might sometimes be wiped out! )
Kill by mind control
Warriors of a show (could be 'war is all a show' again)
Become reapers and horsemen
Now I am radicalised
(awesome solo then repeat chorus 1 and 2)
Kill by remote control
War is all a show
You gotta see I am open
I acknowledge to launch
Kill by mind control
Warriors of a show
Become reapers and horsemen
Now I am radical love (could still be 'radicalised' but he just cuts off the 'ised')
+ Chris's sexy bit in the background? =
Do you really know how to take a life?
