Damn, this is horrible.
I've defended the last few albums quite a lot and feel like they were too underappreciated. I routinely find myself enjoying Backspacer and Lightning Bolt enough to appreciate them for what they are but THIS?! THIS IS PATHETIC.
Hi folks. Just listened to the new single so thought I'd share my initial feelings.
Opening verse, Ed sounds like Chris Cornell. I like that. I also like the fact that even though the song isn't that long, it moves along at a reasonable pace instead of million miles an hour which I don't like personally. Song has groove and Ed sounds cool; his vocal screams attitude. I like the contrast between the verses and the chorus. I would not like this song to be the musical template for a new album (I prefer fully fleshed out, 4-5 minutes songs) but it sounds fresh and I like most things about it after a few listens.
For those who are hating on it, your ignorance is sinful.

I thought it was Chris at first.
I knew I wasn't the only one! Perhaps this is a political Chris Cornell tribute. I'm digging it more with every listen. I'm down with this type of song more than Bushleaguer. Lyrics aren't as important as the way they're delivered. Something about the singing here that makes Ed sound young.

The best I can make out:
and now you want me to breathe and be so grateful oh, for the air that I need don't make me pitiful (?) and in the mornin' light we're just the same, you and me I'm on the ghosts... (?) a propensity to breathe
the higher, the farther, the faster you fly you may be rich, but you can't deny me got nothin', got nothin' but the will to survive you can't control and you can't deny me your eyes are sick, they're sick and they're vile (?) you can't deny me
try to talk down to me my mind, it ain't so simple where's your vocabulary? your ignorance is sinful you plant your liar seeds watch as the roots take hold the country you are now poisoning condition critical
the higher, the farther, the faster you fly I know it's true and you can't deny me nothin', got nothin', you've got nothin' to hide let the bullshit walk (?) and you can't deny me the higher, the farther, the faster you fly your souls are sick and you can't deny me
you can't deny me you can't deny me you don't define me you can't deny me
the higher, the farther, the faster you fly you know you're sick and you can't deny me got nothin', just nothin', you've got somethin' to hide we see right through you and you can't deny me darkness, darkness, darkness and light you can't deny me

That's probably pretty close. The chorus lyrics need another pass but they're pretty close to being good. The verse has the Bu$hleaguer/No More problem (more the later) when Eddie feels so passionate about something so obvious that he has no artful way to phrase it.
