I think this video... http://www.cracked.com/video_17357_e...song-ever.html

was leaked early and Dave stole some of the lyrics.

    I would imagine its a good song to open the album but i think it would be bad as the opener for a concert. Definitely better than dreamgirl. It is catchy.

    The lyrics are bad.

    That said, you're overtly concerned about the lyrics when listening to this, you need to go grab a collection of Tennyson.

    Youve got to be kidding... It would be perfect for an opener

    The intro is too quick, it couldn't be drawn out long enough to open a concert like they do

    way too Stand Up/Everyday for me. lyrics were secondary, music loud, electric and highly repetitive. Not pleased that this opens the album.
    FTWII is everything this song is not.

    Obviously, several hundred people disagree with me...but we'll see in 6 months time.

    Just listened to I Did It, Hunger, and now Stand Up (For it)...and I think this song fits right in with those songs. Lyrics were clearly secondary to the sound...the sound is repetitive and electric. It works for some, just not for me.

    i actually like some of these lyrics i don't think they are that bad

    i guess most of the lyrics are "cheesy", but i kinda like "Lick your sticky fingers boy and sing for your dinner sing" also the cigarettes.... verse

    Matt, my friend, I can honestly say this song DID in fact feel like a huge kick in the face to me.

    I don't like Shake Me, and the lyrics are just as bad as Lady Gaga's lyrics. Besides maybe that new song its worse.

    But all in all this song blows.

    Dave is questioning God here. This line is about how the universe was made. He likes living here and loves earth, but he knows that "God and the devil could not have made you up" saying that evolution must have created the universe.

    Two must have worked as one together
    So good just want to eat you up
    Let me like the real thing
    Lick your sticky fingers boy and sing for your dinner sing

    "Sticky fingers" is metaphorical for "Jesus Christ" and Dave is saying you must "sing for your dinner" meaning you must asked Christ to be saved.


    Just wait. You know it's coming. Someone will break this thing down line by line and get something like that.


    Best posts in this thread... and all very true
