"Will of the People..."

I rarely get too political, but luckily Muse do it for me!

I don’t want to make too many observations about this one, other than to say I think it works better as a “call and response” song, where one part is sung by those who are abusing their charge of a place, regime, party, or organisation, and the other is sung by the general population or organisational member who are subject to the whim of those in leadership.
For sake of ease, we’ll use the initials “CP” to indicate the lines that would be sung by, say, a government, and the initials “HB” to indicate the sensible, feeling Human Beings presenting their response.

Lastly I would like to suggest that in my opinion, and to make my illustration work, that Muse have left out a crucial word. For those with sensitivities, I will be using asterisks in the amended lyrics and parts below.


“WILL OF THE PEOPLE”:
CP: F*** The will of the people, the will of the people, the will of the will of  X 4

HB: Let’s push the emperors into the ocean,
The will of the people, the will of the people, the will of the will of the
Don’t need a goon to flood with devotion,    
The will of the people, the will of the people, the will of the will of the
With every hour our number increases 
The will of the people, the will of the people, the will of the will of the
CP: We’ll smash your institutions to pieces 
F*** The will of the people, the will of the people, the will of the will of the

HB: We need a transformation 
One we all can see
We need a revolution 
So long as we stay free 
The will of the will of the

CP: Welcome to the desecration baby
We’ll build you right up then we’ll tear you down
Welcome to the celebration baby 
The judges are jailed and the future is ours 

Free your sons and unlock your daughters 
We’ll throw the baby out with the bath water 

HB: With every second our anger increases 


​CP: We’re gonna smash this nation to pieces

F*** The will of the people, the will of the people, the will of the will of the

HB: We need a transmutation 
One we all conceive 
We need a revolution 
So long as we stay free 
The will of the will of the

CP: Welcome to the desecration baby
We’ll build you right up then we’ll tear you down 
Welcome to the celebration baby 
The judges are jailed and the future is ours 

F*** The will of the people, the will of the people, the will of the will of  X 5
The will of the people, the will of the sheeple, the will of the will of 
The will of the people, the will of the people, the will of the will of  X 2
The will of the will of the

Welcome to the desecration baby
We’ll build you right up then we’ll tear you down 
Welcome to the celebration baby 
The judges are jailed and the future is ours
