Description

"Unnatural Selection" opens with a church organ before drums and "powerful" sounding guitars begin,[3] going on to be one of the more guitar-driven songs on The Resistance.[4]

Additional information

Christopher Wolstenholme thinks that the song might address the idea of the British royal family being descendants of giant lizards, as proposed by David Icke among others.[5]

Lyrics

Incomplete and possibly incorrect

They laugh as they watch us fall
Lucky they don't care at all
No chance for fate
It's Unnatural Selection
I want the truth!

I'm hungry for some unrest
I'm gonna push it beyond peaceful protest
I wanna speak in a language they will understand

Dedication to a new age
This is the era of destruction and rampage
Another chance to raise ??? again

??? commotion
We are droplets in the ocean
ocean

They laugh as they watch us fall
Lucky they don't care at all
No chance for fate
It's Unnatural Selection
I want the truth!

No illusion ??? powers
??? that they will find us
Just make sure you're looking out for number one

I'm hungry for some unrest
I'm gonna push it beyond peaceful protest
I wanna speak in a language they will understand

??? commotion
We are droplets in the ocean
ocean

They laugh as they watch us fall
Lucky they don't care at all
No room for fate
It's unmandatory Selection
I want the truth!

Try to ride out the storm
They'll still make you believe
????
????

??? [easier to run?]
[You won't be afraid?]

??? commotion
??? drop you to the ocean
ocean, ocean!

They laugh as they watch us fall
Lucky they don't care at all
And no chance for fate,
It's unnatural selection, 
I want the truth, I want the truth, 
I want the truth! I want the truth!
