I struggled with this on the phone recording because it was quirkier than I had imagined. The chorus especially was a bit jarring. It's grown on me after repeated listens and especially with the good quality leak. I am interested to read the lyrics on this. I can live with the chorus now, but I like the rest of the song much more. The verses, bridge and solo are ace. 4.5 stars.

if you're sitting still as the first chorus leads into the second verse, there's something wrong with you

I love how this band can rip through a song like this and then you get Wreckage right after. They are just so versatile.

This song is so fucking good. Love mccreadys solo. Holy shit.

Also love how cameron seamlessly goes from that awesome hi hat work to opening up and destroying the kit. Some great tempo changes

I see you worried and hurried
As if addressing the jury
Oh, you are innocent, you're proving innocent
You are hurting and it's so magnificent
Don't let the sky hook beat you to submission
Maybe it's the price of price of our admission
Ain't no fucking roses to our condition
Turn this anger into nuclear fission, yeah, baby, baby

Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Chorus
Don't react, respond
Don't react, respond
When what you get is what you don't want
Don't react
Are we at war with each other?
Are you at war with yourself?
We could be fighting together
Instead of fighting ourselves
Start thе rebuttal, all part of the game
Yеs, what makes us different and what makes us the same
Ah, the incandescence that is your essence
The unexpected embrace, embrace the unexpected
There's no book on this life, there's no use as directed
The best part I know was when we were connected
Bridge
As the light gets brighter as it grows
The darkness, it recedes
It's better to give, give than to deceive
Questions dissolve the more you believe, ah

Chorus
Don't react, respond
Don't react, respond
When you get what you don't want
Don't react, respond
Don't react, respond
Don't react, respond
When you get what you don't want
Don't react, respond

This was the point I wondered if this was another relationship song instead of a political one....(Or both?)

the harmonic crunch of that second guitar (?) in the riff really surprised me in the cinema and I was hoping any downloaded versions would maintain it; they sorta do, I can hear it
