Initialement connu sous le nom d’Action Faust, The Small Print est l’un des morceaux les plus agressifs et énergiques de Muse. Il mélange des éléments de hard rock et d’alternatif avec une section rythmique implacable. La chanson est tirée de l’album Absolution, sorti en 2003.
[Verse 1]
Take, take all you need
And I’ll compensate your greed
With broken hearts
Sell, and I’ll sell your memories
For fifteen pounds per year
But just the good days
[Chorus]
Say, it’ll make you insane
And it’s bending the truth
You’re to blame
For all the life that you’ll lose and
You watch this space
And I’m going all the way
And be my slave to the grave
I’m a priest God never paid, ooh
[Verse 2]
Hope, and I hope you’ve seen the light
‘Cause no one really cares
They’re just pretending
Sell, and I’ll sell your memories
For fifteen pounds per year
But you can keep the bad days
[Chorus]
Say, it’ll make you insane
And I’m bending the truth
You’re to blame
For all the life that you’ll lose and
You watch this space
And I’m going all the way
And be my slave to the grave
I’m a priest God never paid, ooh
[Chorus]
Say, it’ll make you insane
And I’m bending the truth
You’re to blame
For all the life that you’ll lose and
You watch this space
And I’m going all the way
And be my slave to the grave
I’m a priest God never paid, ooh
