Muse - The Small Print Lyrics






Take, take all you need
And I'll compensate your greed
With broken hearts
Sell, I'll sell your memories
For 15 pounds per year
But just the good days

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
But I'm going all the way
And be my slave to the grave
I'm the priest God never paid

Hope, I hope you've seen the light
'Cause no one really cares
They're just pretending
Sell, I'll sell your memories
For 15 pounds per year
But you can keep the bad days

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 the priest God never paid

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 the priest God never paid

    I.... B....

    More like my chemical romance sounds like this song cause this came out a year b4

    I.... B....

    I've always thought this. Sounds so mcr its crazy

  14. J.... S....

    Ahhh I remember when this was one of my least favourite Muse songs... Good times

    J.... S....

    Go where Muse takes you my boy, that’s the beauty of it

  15. R.... P....

    What does this mean the message of this track?

    R.... P....

    I think it's referencing Marlowe's "Doctor Faustus", a play about a man who sells his soul to the devil for 24 years of power as well as the service of the demon Mephistopheles. Or it might just be a general "selling your soul" song, but the mentions of slavery til death and feeling unsatisfied by God makes me feel like it's a little more specific to "Faustus"

    R.... P....

    on genius it says it's about drugs and the song uses the story of Faust and deals with the devil as a vessel for a message about drugs, y'know?

    R.... P....

    Or (for the sake of the joke) you can exchange Bellamy with Lucifer himself on this song and take the words by their exact meaning, as a direct message to you.
    Warning: it may freak you out :)
    (and freak you out even more if you carry on with other music videos e.g. Stockholm, Uprising or Psycho).

  17. �.... A....

    Why do I associate the grim reaper with this song?

    �.... A....

    @Oliver-Vic Carquinn True, the line at the end of the chorus does hint at a bit less alignment with God, and the reaper's only service is taking lives, right?

  18. T.... Z....

    i love your selection of protein mix has a lot of variety

  19. A.... M....

    Every song form this album I like damm I love muse

    Absolution_ In/Rainbows Your username 👌

    D.... O....

    Pretty sure its ‘for all the love that you lose’

    D.... O....

    Mec tu t'es vraiment fait chier à recopier toutes les paroles ?

    D.... O....

    Absolutely beautiful lyrics, I have no words

  23. T.... ....

    Fifteen pounds per year is a bit measly if you ask me.

    T.... ....

    @ThinWhiteAxe They are making a deal with the devil though, so they should be prepared to get sheared tbh

    T.... ....

    Yes, it's meant to be a low amount

    @Sinnobun Salmon it's not nightcore tho-

  24. C.... Z....

    I love this song sm

  25. J.... R....

    One of their best underrated songs

    J.... R....

    True, but almost all of their songs are one of their best underrated songs

  26. F.... ....

    This song is about selling your soul to the devil.

    F.... ....

    Florrmat Is that so? I always wondered how/where he got all that musical genius.

    F.... ....

    must be a shitty soul if its only going for 15 pounds

    F.... ....

    Nah, the Devil knows his stuff and drives really hard bargains. *edit* I just realised I expressed a similar sentiment below :D

    F.... ....

    @RUBY Estes nah bro basically he fucks us over hes an asshole. Sell your soul for a bicycle and youll get runover the very same day. Dude is lucky to be alive

    F.... ....

    Finally someone fucking gets it this is actually what this song is about. The small print on the contract we dont read selling our souls and giving away our rights minds bodies and souls. So sad

  27. m.... b....

    Matt Bellamy is a genius

    m.... b....

    Muse are geniuses

    m.... b....

    Yes he is

    m.... b....

    maximus bugati he really fuking is !!

    m.... b....

    This is my least fav song from this album not a bad song... but doesn't stack up with the others.

    m.... b....

    @DarthMuse aw man, that's a shame, one of my favs. I respect it though.

  28. J.... v....

    Great song!!😝😝😝
