That Little Animal Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I have no problem hearing CIA baby. Me neither. I do have a problem WITH hearing it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtsyChick Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I've seen it on video and live and honestly have no idea what any of the words are. I'm just mesemerized watching Matt play. Perhaps I should try listening and not watching, haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I've seen it on video and live and honestly have no idea what any of the words are. I'm just mesemerized watching Matt play. Perhaps I should try listening and not watching, haha! The amount of times these lyrics (or variants of them) have been posted in this thread... Home, it's becoming a killing field There's a crosshair locked on my heart With no recourse And there's no one behind the wheel Hellfire, you're wiping me out Killed by... Drones! (Killed by) Drones! (Killed by) You kill by remote control And the world is on your side You've got the CIA, babe Now I am radicalised 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 By your... Drones! (Killed by) Drones! (Killed by) You kill by remote control And the world is on your side You've reapers (and horsemen? I hear '*something*, babe' on this line as well) Now I am radicalised [solo] So rule with lies and deceit And the world is on your side You've got the CIA, babe All you've done is prove 'em/I'm right (?) You kill by remote control And the world is on your side You've reapers and horsemen Now I am radicalised Still the odd bit that's uncertain but I think that's pretty much it.

White Heat Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Im 100% sure he doesn't say "World is on your side", fuck NME. "War is all a show" is the most accurate one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard 'And the world is on your side' for a long time now. Some Webster footage also confirms that it's 'And the world...' and not 'War' anyway. So...no.

TobyLarone Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Hellfire You're wiping me out Crossfire Sounds so disjointed It sounded much better when I thought it was Hellfire You're walking in my - Drone Fire Or at least anything else that would carry into the last line instead of just disjointing it like that.

Dunno where you're getting that from. I'm pretty sure it's: Hellfire You're wiping me out Killed by Which then leads into Chris shouting "Drones" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Is it? Everything I've seen says its Crossfire It's definitely 'hellfire'. I really don't even know how anyone could hear 'cross'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure it's: Hellfire You're wiping me out Killed by Which then leads into Chris shouting "Drones" This is what I've always heard! (Plus the distorted Morgan vocals saying "Killed by" again, in between every "Drones") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatchHellBlues Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I love the "killed by....DRONES!" bit. Sounds cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum IV Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Is it? Everything I've seen says its Crossfire My early speculation (which I posted tentatively on MuseWiki and everyone thought was official) was "Hellfire, you're walking in the crossfire." I think the lines of communication have crossed somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartianSpaghettiRider Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Im 100% sure he doesn't say "World is on your side", fuck NME. "War is all a show" is the most accurate one. It really seems "The world is on your side", instead. In the KROQ pro-shot, you can hear Chris spell that, for his backing vocals part. On the contrary, Matt's destorted voice deceives, because distortion increase the bias and the hiss of "s". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archer29 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 sassy's an interesting way to put it lol Well my original word was camp but I didn't want to come across as homophobic because I'm far from it! But for a song about drone warfare it is really odd. Even in the concept it makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
