Boom. Here's the lyrics:

Oh what an honour, the odds have smiled on me
Chosen for my chance for fame
Oh what an honour, I know the world will see
Though I never will see them

Don't miss what's next up on your TV
We're interviewing our interviewees

We are the iron children, your magnifying glass
Try to be magnets for the cameras
We are the iron children, built strong to entertain
The glorious players in your games
The players in your games

They make us beautiful, they make us bright
You give us sparkle, you lend us your spotlight
You give us a world where everyone knows our name
You give us a week and nothing again

Stay tuned for primetime on your tv
This is not primetime. This is tragedy

We are the iron children, your magnifying glass
Try to be magnets for the cameras
We are the iron children, built strong to entertain
The glorious players in your games
The players in your games

This is the venue, now's the time
You had mercy enough not to make us learn our lines
The clock is tick-tocking, the focus is on us
Reality, not TV. It's victory or bust

I heard the cannon, what do you care?
I heard his cannon, but where's his fanfare?

We are the iron children, your magnifying glass
Try to be magnets for your cameras
We are the iron children, built strong to entertain
But it's all lies, isn't it?

We are not iron children, our shields are shattered glass
Stuck in a playground for your camera
There are no iron children, we are your famous shame
We hope you enjoy our remains

There are no iron children, we are your famous shame
I hope you never clean our stain.

I know you'll never clean our stain.

1. is this on itunes?

2. is there sheet music?

3. May I make more of a soprano version of this song?

Thank you so so so!!!! much!!! LOVE THIS SONG!

@hugsandkisses4all

1. Nope, not on iTunes. However, you can buy it from Bandcamp for cheaper than iTunes would ever let you! Bandcamp is vastly superior to iTunes, anyway.

2. Sorry, not at this stage. It's a huge pain to put together and I don't have the time.

3. Depends what you mean. Maybe inbox me about it?

Thank you so much, I'm really glad to hear it!

Is this going to be in the movie?

[RachMacwhirter]

@Sasori9994

Man, I wish! That would be so cool, haha. I'm pretty sure Lionsgate has no idea that I exist though. But you can still get this song on my new album! Plus, it's nice and re recorded, so it sounds better than this version, too. There's a link in both the video annotations and in the description :)

where did u get the instrumental i love it plz reply

[RachMacwhirter]

@thedaddysbean

Thank you very much! I made it myself. If you'd like a copy, free instrumentals to every track come with my album. There's a link in the video description :D

[MusicInMyMindAndSoul]

I almost don't want to see the movie now, when it comes out, because then I'll be disapointed that this isn't in it.

[MonsterJai96]

Where's the LOVE button when you need it? Amazing! Plus, totally something a tribute/victor would sing/say if they had the guts. Like Katniss does :) I can totally see Katniss singing this in a propo aimed directly at President Snow in Mockingjay.

[Emmystorm12]

Oh my god I love this song SO much!! I wish it was on iTunes cuz I can only get it that way

[snowwhitewings13]

[hbcfanalex]

@hugsandkisses4all Exactly~!

[saradviceforyou]

@RachMacwhirter I know I am. I looked at the soundtrack list and it wasn't on there. Sorry about that. And you have done an excellent job on your song.

[mibsgirl11]

I don't know why, but this made me cry lol. I love the books and this song!

[iLurvRandomxD]

Sorry Rachel I was thinking of another song a little like this by the way it's really good I listen to it all the time

[hugsandkisses4all]

@hbcfanalex i know right? I love it! it's all I listen to anymore, it's perpetually stuck in my head :D
