Fucking awesome, my favorite one along with House Of Gold And Bones \m/

Looks like Stone Sour are still powerfull!

Sounds a lot like the 'Choose' riff off the first album. Awesome.

I can't wait to get my hands on this album! I'll be at HMV on the 8th! :)

CAPTION
A fierce critique of overpopulation, greed, and ecological collapse—“Global Pillage” warns of a world consuming itself beyond limits.

"Global Pillage" is a song that critiques the unsustainable exploitation of global resources and societal systems, drawing its title and lyrics directly from Garrett Hardin's 1993 book "Living Within Limits" to highlight themes of overpopulation, greed, environmental depletion, and the consequences of ignoring ecological and social limits

[Short Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Governments claim to serve our needs
But capitalism is based on greed
Socialism who they trying to kid
Cuz everyone takes
More than they give

[Verse 2]
Eight billion and we continue to breed
Ninety million more each year to feed
We farm the deserts and the oceans floor
And when that's gone
There ain't no more

[Chorus]
Rape and pillage ("ohhhh")
Of the global village ("global pillage")
Rape and pillage ("ohhhh")
Of the global village ("global pillage")

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
PC divides our nation
Bilingual Education leads to tribalization
Gifts to charity are just a redistribution
Of poverty

[Verse 4]
Government's run by corporations
Whose PR men deny all allegations
We subsidize things we despise
And feed their machine
With the things that we buy

[Chorus]
Rape and pillage ("ohhhh")
Of the global village ("global pillage")
Rape and pillage ("ohhhh")
Of the global village ("global pillage")

[Break down]

[Verse 5]
The status-quo is suicidal
Don't give a damn about the world's survival
Ask yourself would you lend your keys
To the scum and drags
Of society

[Outro]
Our leaders are fools, what can we do?
The choice comes down to me and you
Turn away or take a stand
Save humanity
With the wave of your hand

[Chorus]
Rape and pillage ("ohhhh")
Of the global village ("global pillage")
Rape and pillage ("ohhhh")
Of the global village ("global pillage")
