Master of the Universe

[Missy]

If you want to know how far to go to hell just ask me
if you want to see the view from your knees
come down and join me
I'm the final straw
the nail in the coffin
just by being who I am
is so God#@mned

(chorus)
I'm not the master of the Unisverse
I walk the Earth the wrong way
met my potential and fulfilled the worst
my best is cursed the wrong way

Your glass is half, his glass is full
my glass is empty
you're running short of not enough
well I got plenty
I've come a long way
I went the wrong way
and who I am
is so God#@mned

(bridge)
And when I die I'm gonna fly and come and get you
and when you try and run I'll be the curse above you
it's gonna end
it's gonna end

(breakdown outro)
In the race for disaster I will come in first
that's what I've learned
the hard way
What?!

(outro)
I've come a long way
I went the wrong way
I've come a long way
I went the wrong way
I've come a long way
I went the wrong way

This song is quickly becoming a favorite of mine .. musically it is epic and I love the lyrics as well. I love
"and who I am is so God#@mned"

And just like most everyone else I am curious as to what those random sounds are at the beginning and end .. I'm hoping Shim, Emma or Mark answer Shari's question in the Ask the Band thread

The intro is just...

[Serge]

This feels like the "Cancer" of the new album, lyric wise; politically charged and anti-religion.

"if you want to see the view from your knees" = worship

.....Shim and I need to have a chat about religion, seems we have similar views.

[Serge]

I think this is officially my 6th favorite song, I don't know why it took a while to love it but the lyrics are great, it's catchy, and the sick sexy bass intro is sufficient enough!

.....this album is TOO good, grr! =x

[Becky]

I have mixed feelings about this song. I LOVE most of it. But I really dislike the chorus. It doesn't seem to fit to me, and it's bothersome because the rest of the song kicks so much ass. Then that bubblegum rock sounding chorus comes in. Arggh...

I think I might need to make the bass riff my new text alert.

[Serge]

I love the chorus lol. But I agree that it's kind of inconsistent with the rest and unexpected, kind of like Odd One. But it really grew on me, been replaying it for a while now. But I think the pros outweigh the cons drastically.

[Cassandra]

The intro for this song is great! But I have to agree the chorus is just not all that great.

[Becky]

[Serge]

It sounds better/heavier live though!

Maybe you'll fully enjoy it then?

[Becky]

I'm kind of obsessed with the "if you want to know how far to go to hell just ask me" line.

[Katy]

^^^ I'm kinda obsessed with that whole verse.

[Christian]

I really like this song alot.It seems like it kinda sticks to the old sp but has new aspect as well.Can't wait to hear it live.

[Sarah]

[RandyF]

" I've come a long way, I went the wrong way "...............It's funny how sometimes the simplest lyrics can hit the spot so well.

[Becky]

I have the opening bass line as my text alert, and my little brother asked me if it was the Seinfeld theme.

Although I love this CD sooo much, this song is not one of my faves from it. I like it, but it is not a fave, not a song I would listen to a lot.

JMO,

I love reading everyone's take on my favorite songs. Usually a song is my favorite if it hits close to home and expresses something I would never be able to put into words....OR it just has that melt my face element. This song definitely does that. The way the drums just sync up so perfectly with the slappa da bass.....its magical.
