Unnatural Selection Lyrics
[Intro]
They'll laugh as they watch us fall
The lucky don't care at all
No chance for fate
It's unnatural selection
I want the truth
[Verse 1]
I am hungry for some unrest
I want to push it beyond a peaceful protest
I wanna speak in a language that they'll understand
Dedication, to a new age
Is this the end of destruction and rampage?
Another chance to erase it then repeat it again
[Pre-Chorus]
Counter balance this commotion
We're not droplets in the ocean
Ocean
[Chorus 1]
They'll laugh as they watch us fall
The lucky don't care at all
No (Hey) chance (Hey) for fate (Hey)
It's unnatural selection
I want the truth
Woo
They'll laugh as they watch us fall
The lucky don't care at all
No chance for fate
It's unnatural selection
I want the truth
[Verse 1]
I am hungry for some unrest
I want to push it beyond a peaceful protest
I wanna speak in a language that they'll understand
Dedication, to a new age
Is this the end of destruction and rampage?
Another chance to erase it then repeat it again
[Pre-Chorus]
Counter balance this commotion
We're not droplets in the ocean
Ocean
[Chorus 1]
They'll laugh as they watch us fall
The lucky don't care at all
No (Hey) chance (Hey) for fate (Hey)
It's unnatural selection
I want the truth
Woo
[Verse 2]
No religion or mind virus
Is there a hope that the facts will ever find us?
Just make sure that you are looking out for number one
And I am hungry for some unrest
Let's push it beyond a peaceful protest
I wanna speak in a language that you will understand
[Pre-Chorus]
Counter balance this commotion
We're not droplets in the ocean
Ocean
[Chorus 2]
They'll laugh as they watch us crawl
The lucky don't share at all
No (Hey) hope (Hey) for fate (Hey)
It's a random chance selection
I want the truth
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge 1]
Try to ride out the storm
Whilst they'll make you believe
That they are the special ones
(We have not been chosen)
No religion or mind virus
Is there a hope that the facts will ever find us?
Just make sure that you are looking out for number one
And I am hungry for some unrest
Let's push it beyond a peaceful protest
I wanna speak in a language that you will understand
[Pre-Chorus]
Counter balance this commotion
We're not droplets in the ocean
Ocean
[Chorus 2]
They'll laugh as they watch us crawl
The lucky don't share at all
No (Hey) hope (Hey) for fate (Hey)
It's a random chance selection
I want the truth
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge 1]
Try to ride out the storm
Whilst they'll make you believe
That they are the special ones
(We have not been chosen)
[Guitar Solo]
[Bride 2]
Injustice is the norm
You won't be the first and you know you won't be the last
[Pre-Chorus]
Counter balance this commotion
We're not droplets in the ocean
Ocean
Ocean
Ocean
[Chorus 1]
They'll laugh as they watch us fall
And the lucky, they don't care at all
No (Hey) chance (Hey) for fate (Hey)
It's unnatural selection
I want the truth
And I want the truth
And I want the truth
And I want the truth
[Instrumental Outro]
[Bride 2]
Injustice is the norm
You won't be the first and you know you won't be the last
[Pre-Chorus]
Counter balance this commotion
We're not droplets in the ocean
Ocean
Ocean
Ocean
[Chorus 1]
They'll laugh as they watch us fall
And the lucky, they don't care at all
No (Hey) chance (Hey) for fate (Hey)
It's unnatural selection
I want the truth
And I want the truth
And I want the truth
And I want the truth
[Instrumental Outro]
