Muse - JFK + Defector - Drones (Lyrics)
For we are opposed around the world
By a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy
That relies primarily on covert means
For expanding its sphere of influence
On infiltration instead of invasion
On subversion instead of elections
On intimidation instead of free choice
On guerrillas by night instead of armies by day
It is a system which has conscripted
Vast human and material resources
Into the building of a tightly knit
Highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic
Intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations
Its preparations are concealed, not published
Its mistakes are buried, not headlined
Its dissenters are silenced, not praised
[Chorus]
Free, yeah, I'm free
From your ins-ins-inciting
You can't brainwash me
You've got a problem
Free, yeah I'm free
From society
You can't control me
I'm a defector
[Verse 1]
You think you're strong and you can't be broken
But your empire is dissolving
You thought, you thought I was weak
But you got it wrong, look into my eyes, I'm a defector
[Chorus]
Free, yeah, I'm free
From your ins-ins-inciting
You can't brainwash me
You've got a problem
Free, yeah I'm free
From society
You can't control me
I'm a defector
[Verse 2]
Your blood is blue and your mind's turned green
And your belly is all yellow
You believe your throne is too high
To be overthrown, we'll watch it get razed by a defector
[Chorus]
Free, yeah, I'm free
From your ins-ins-inciting
You can't brainwash me
You've got a problem
Free, yeah I'm free
From society
You can't control me
I'm a defector
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm a defector
[Chorus]
Free, yeah, I'm free
From your ins-ins-inciting
You can't brainwash me
You've got a problem
Free, yeah I'm free
From society
You can't control me
I'm a defector
[Outro — JFK]
We look for strength and assistance
Confident that with your help
Man will be what he was born to be:
Free and independent
