The song says in the chorus "If you'd listen to the lyrics, youd find the message underneath..." And then he says "Do you hear that? Do you hear what is cominarabrabrabrabrab uhghraburabaRABARrabarrab RAB OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" LOL
@Chrisrowhatey yea in the studio track he says" you hear that, were coming to your town next and were going to burn that motherfucker down"......peaceout
generation x somehow slipped up from the grave!! KURT COBAIN!! in my eyes matt is the "next" kurt cobain, and cage is the "next" Nirvana... they just dont get enough credit
@Georgeee1995 I don't think they get drugged up before all their shows. I saw them in philly and he was just nuts. He sang lyrics fine and everything just crazy.
Thank god for bands like c.t.e; I cant stand all the crap that is so called "in", I wish ppl would appreciate talent not just some one reading lyrics off a page and auto tuning it like all of hip hop today
@ILOVEROCK290 you're fucking retarded. I've seen Muse live twice, both times my mind was blown EVERY SINGLE SONG. They're godly in the studio, and godly on stage.
i love there music, but never in my life will I spend even a dollar to see them preform. THEY SUCK LIVE!!!! Lay off the meth and beer man! It'll do ya some good!
@ylert39 This is so true, they are good studio... but I saw them open for Stone Temple Pilots in September, and the singer is terrible live, he runs around awkwardly, yells and just doesn't sound good.
@Selithein that is in no way a shame in my eyes. the fans they have appreciate what they do. its the people who listen to that bullshit you mention who are losing out.
@Selithein I disagree man, cause just like this song says "We don't do it for the glory we don't do it for the money" bieber is a fuckin asshole that before you can count to ten he'll be out, just like the other products of disney. CTE is rock n roll and shall only play for the people who enjoy it!
@qmpagebaseball98 getting wasted before playing a show is the best way to do it in my experience, you're not self-conscious and have way more energy, and therefore the audience does as well
The fact they sound so obscurely shitty live, almost makes them twice as good...because they'll still fucking rock to the core, and I can't help but to give them the most solid props for it. I'm from their hometown, and as many concerts as I've seen of theirs, I doubt I'd ever get tired of it.
@romankappertking na man your wrong. matts fuckin good. i saw them last year they were great. maybe you should stop dissin matt an go back to listenin to the jonas brothers or somethin bra.
@romankappertking Matt's energy live is the most awesome thing I have ever seen. Have you actually seen them live, or just on youtube? You shouldn't judge untl you have experienced this band live and in person...nothing compares.
if i can sing the song without any problems then he should be able to as well. but i guess its a bit easier to sing when you're not totally stoned!... they suck live... but i love the album. im totally gettin the new one.
@helio211 no, i saw them last night and it they are one of the greatest live bands ive ever seen. with them its an energy thing. it doesnt translate well in recordings, but if your there you can just feel the rays of awesomeness radiating from the stage. its one of the most amazing shows you'll ever see. if ur a fan (meaning you own and like most of or all their released and unreleased songs, not just the hits) i urge you to go see them. itll be a life changing experiance.
@southparkfan1999 both probably :D ... nah, just kidding, he just acts like that.... apparently because the band saw a crazy homeless guy shouting: "You gotta cage the elephant!" outside a retaurant, his dancing style is copying how the old man moved and that's where they got the name.
I hope in the next album he sings more...he actually has a really good voice. He is mostly doing a hip hop chili peppers thing. Which is an awesome sound. The whole band needs to jam more. Their bass player is WICKED!
@GovernorSwarzenegger Yeah, when I hear CTE I think of a younger, punk version of RHCP. The lead singer has a unique. It sounds great in the studio and lve. But he did seem pretty 'out there' in this video.
The start of this song always rattles my windows :D
