Muse-ic

The United States of Eurasia, by Muse, those crazy, drunken, conspiracy theory obsessed Brits that I love (I've got all their albums...) for some strange reason. This song is one part 1984, one part Queen, one part classical piano, and one part Obama disillusionment (or at least that's what I read into it).



You and me are the same
We don't know or care who's to blame
But we know that whoever holds the reins
Nothing will change
Our cause has gone insane

And these wars, they can't be won
And these wars, they can't be won
And do you want them to go on
And on and on
Why split these states
When there can be only one?

And must we do as we're told?
Must we do as we're told?
You and me fall in line
To be punished for unproven crimes!
And we know that there is no one we can trust;
Our ancient heroes, they are turning to dust!

And these wars, they can't be won
Does anyone know or care how they begun?
They just promise to go on
And on and on
But soon we will see
There can be only one

United States!
United States!
Of...

Eurasia!
