A sinister sounding light track with vocal distortion and recorded sound effects.

Live

Played primarily at many gigs in the 2006 tour usually as the staple intro to "Bliss", though without vocals. Latterly it was played before songs other than "Bliss".

Music trivia

From 3.50 a busy street can be heard, including a motorbike, children and footsteps.

The opening riff of Oceansize 's "I Am the Morning", from debut album Effloresce (2003), bares resemblance to the melody of "Forced In". The recorded versions of both songs are also the same length, 4:18. This suggests that Oceansize, who along with Muse are oft-placed within the New prog genre, may have been influenced by Muse's earlier work.

This song is sometimes listed as being "instrumental", despite the clearly audible, albeit distorted, vocals.

Lyrics

Push me in
Into greed
Force me in
Into greed
Squeeze me in
Into greed

Ah ooh
Aah ooh

Break me in
Ah ooh

Push me in 
Into greed 
Force me in 
Into greed 
Squeeze me in 
Into greed 

Hullabaloo

The verse is absent at the track's end.
