Song inspiration: "Yeah that song is about getting an automated email response from the National Party, regarding an enquiry to the whole fiasco with mining in the national parks. It was surreal, I got these auto-bot responses from Gerry Brownlee & also John Key's head office. That got me thinking about the Kafkaesque nature of politics." As quoted from Yahoo! Firestarters - Shihad flick the switch with new album 'Ignite' interview.
Lyrics
Day and night Through every eye Always see a different story Some are dark And some are light While others itch to build an army I figured out how to relate I found the answer in an auto-email Said settle down or dominate It said, settle down or dominate It's good to see you're so fired up, babe But we're not gonna stop 'Til you all you end up Claiming "I win" 'Cause in the future We will all be beautiful In the future We will be unstoppable Was thinking I could make it right But realised that that's a folly So disappeared into the night To be continued by a different story They wouldn't dare to deviate Make it back, you might ignore the detail So settle down we'll dominate So settle down while we dominate It's good to see you're so fired up, babe But we're not gonna stop Til you all you end up Claiming "I win" 'Cause in the future We will all be beautiful In the future We will be unstoppable Gotta get out the way Keep it moving Balancing on the blade (x2) Traitor, murder, liar(?)/another liar Dead end, dead end, dead end(?)/did it/didn't/deaden Get up, line up, fire Say it, say it, say it (x2) I figured out how to relate I found the answer in an auto-email Said settle down or dominate It said, settle down or dominate In the future We will all be beautiful In the future We will be unstoppable 'Cause in the future We will all be beautiful In the future We will be unstoppable Gotta get out the way Keep it moving Balancing on the blade (x2) In the future (balancing on the blade, keep it moving) We will all be beautiful (balancing on the blade) (x2)
