Muse – Survival Lyrics
---Update---Race, life’s a race
And I am gonna win
Yes, I am 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, the vengance is mine
And i won’t give in
Because i choose to thrive
I’m gonna win
Race, it’s a race
But i’m gonna win
Yes i’m gonna win
And will light the fuse
I’ll never lose
And i choose to survive
Whatever it takes
You won’t ṗull ahead
I’ll keep up the pace
And i’ll refill my strength
To the whole human race
Yes i am the man
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Win! Win! Win! Win!
Yes i’m gonna win
Stranger sits down beside you in the bar...talkative guy, probably a Brit
Race, it’s a race
But i’m gonna win
Yes i’m gonna win
And will light the fuse
I’ll never lose
And i choose to survive
Whatever it takes
You won’t ṗull ahead
I’ll keep up the pace
Fair enough old bean,,
I have a Dr. Appointment.
Catch you later.......
---Update---
And i choose to survive...
That's the spirit!

I love Muse but that was pretty terrible.
This is what I'm used to hearing from Muse
Daniel Bedingfield claimed that his new album is what it would sound like if Sting, Stevie Wonder and Micheal Jackson were in a basement together - I haven't got the album so I'll have to imagine the sound of a blind bloke and a Geordie kicking the shit out of a pedophile.
Discordant white noise.
They certainly haven't let their fans down.
Made it through 3 seconds of both those tracks.

Work in the night time, I

431cs 2012: Five things Survival by Muse tells us about sporting anthems

Critical opinion is sharply divided over Survival by British rock group Muse, which has been unveiled as the official song of the 2012 London Olympic Games. What turns a track like this into a sporting anthem?
It is dramatic, triumphant and uplifting. Or, to those less enamoured, it's bombastic, pompous and vaguely totalitarian.
All would surely agree, however, that Muse's official Olympic song Survival could never be accused of undue subtlety.
Ranging over almost five-and-a-half minutes, the song opens with a lengthy instrumental string sequence. It then gives way to a portentous backing choir which, in turn, ushers in crunching guitar riffs, booming drums and a wailing crescendo.
"It's a race/And I'm gonna win," intones singer Matt Bellamy above all this, before pledging to "reveal my strength to the whole human race".
As statements of intent go, it makes Queen's We Are The Champions sound like something from the back catalogue of Leonard Cohen.
According to Bellamy, the song "expresses a sense of conviction and determination".
But what does Survival tell us about the ingredients of a sporting soundtrack?
Watch a 30-second clip of Muse's song
Bombast
"Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!" massed voices bellow at Survival's climax. "Win! Win! Win! Win!"
It's fair to say that the song's message has not been obscured beneath layers of nuance and complexity.
For those accustomed to a more subtle aesthetic, the effect may not be welcome.
But Simon Price, rock and pop critic for the Independent on Sunday, insists that it is precisely these over-the-top qualities that make Survival enjoyable.
Queen's We Are the Champions is the template for many a sporting anthem
"I can't think of a band who chime more perfectly with the Nietzschean spirit of the Olympics than Muse," he says.
"They are a glorious, over-the-top, operatic rock band. It's the Electric Light Orchestra meets Wagner."
For Price, the song's ridiculousness is infinitely preferable to the self-consciously tasteful One Moment In Time by Whitney Houston, which featured in the 1988 Summer Olympics, or Search For The Hero by M People, which regularly features in sporting montages.
Additionally, the lyrics have vaguely camp overtones of Gloria Gaynor's gay disco anthem I Will Survive.
But not everyone's sensibilities can withstand the onslaught.
"It's monstrous," says critic David Stubbs. "It's probably intended as a monumental shock, but it seems to me hideously hubristic."
Opinions from the experts....
lest we get carried away...............
Maybe the discussion should be limited to British Subjects only?
Don't even know what that means.
Got any Tchaikovsky?
Liking Tchaikovsky I think you would like some of muses stuff as the lead singer is an excellent pianist, some of the songs are pretty out there though.
Yeah, I get the vibe of what they're doing, but when they start their songs with discords it's an immediate turn-off.
