Home, It's becoming a killing field
There's a crosshair locked on my heart
With no recourse and there's no one behind the wheel
Hellfire, you're wiping me out, killed by
Drones (killed by)
Drones (killed by)
You rule with lies and deceit
And the world is on your side
Cause you've got the CIA, babe
(you can run but you're never gonna hide, you can run but you're never gonna gonna gonna)
But all you've done is brutalise
(you can run but you're never gonna hide, you can run but you're never gonna gonna gonna)
Drones!
War, war just moved up a gear
I don't think I can handle the truth
I’m just a pawn
And we’re all expendable
Incidentally
Electronically erased
By your
We will rise in the sea
Bodies on the shore
To become reapers and horsemen
Now I am ready to know
Drones (killed by)
Drones (killed by)
You kill by remote control
The world is on your side
You’ve got reapers and hawks babe
(you can run but you're never gonna hide, you can run but you're never gonna gonna gonna)
Now I am radicalized
(you can run but you're never gonna hide, you can run but you're never gonna gonna gonna)
Drones!

Now I am radicalized

Album: "Drones"
(Matthew Bellamy)
Chiaramente il nuovo album dei Muse gioca con la metafora dei droni, degli aerei comandati a distanza. Nella società distopica descritta nell'album, i droni sono le persone controllate a distanza dal sistema. Tuttavia, almeno in questa canzone, i droni assumono anche il significato letterale di aerei senza pilota, utilizzati sempre più spesso soprattutto dall'aeronautica statunitense nelle zone di guerra. Nel testo si fa riferimento esplicito a due modelli largamente impiegati in Afghanistan: l'MQ-9 Reaper e l'RQ-4 Global Hawk.
Su Genius si trovano le consuete interessanti annotazioni al testo.
