This is the only song that was completely finished from top to bottom
lyrically before stepping foot into the studio. I got the name from a
shampoo bottle. The song is your basic corrupt government, rebellious
tune. Pretty straight forward and a breeze to play live.
It's also the oldest song we have on the album. It was created
when I asked our first drummer Mike to mimic an epic
Dark Knight-ish theatrical drum beat as an intro. The beat changed
and evolved by the time it got in the hands of Scott.
He put his own flare on it. We have played this live with 5 different drummers. And each drummer has had their own take and version to it.
I originally imagined military chanting to accompany it, but that never came to fruition.
Lyrics:
lyrics
They're the ones who wrote the system
we're the ones that die by it.
This is control
All these mindless, selfish people
spreading death and lies.
There's panic in the air,
a corner-store for fairy tales.
If you asking for some change,
you're only human.
You caress against his words
with an image you despise.
This will Implode
All these mindless selfish people
selling death and lies.
Please move me with your words.
They'll kill us all.
All these mindless selfish people
spending death and lies.
Take me in, take me out
no matter what they say,
it's not fair.
Take me in take me out
no matter what they say,
I won't change.
