Seems I was a little late starting my thread. Here is my input:

Yes, it seems the song has leaked. As with most of you here, I have given it a few listens. To those who are against listening to it before its air-date in a few days - well, I understand where you may be coming from - but I see no problem with what I have done. I would be hearing it in a few days regardless and this wont affect my decision to purchase the album.

Anyway, I haven't deciphered most of the lyrics yet - but I thought that if we gave it a collaborative effort as a collective, we might figure it out pretty fast. So, thus far - this is what I have:

Eye on the T.V.
Coz' tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor
It happens to be
Like ['bout?] a husband
Drowned by the ocean/
Shot by his own son
He [used a?] poison [probably inaccurate, I know]

[Lines missing]
Its my kind of story
Its no fun till someone dies.

Don't look at me like
I am a monster
Frown out your one face
But with the other
Stare like a junkie
Into the T.V.
Stare like a zombie
Whi-le the mother
Who holds her child
Watches him die
Hands to the sky crying
Why, oh why.

Coz' I need to watch things die
from a distance
Vicariously I
live while the whole world dies
[lines missing]

Why can't we just admit it (x2)

[lines missing]

I need to watch things die
from a good safe distance
Vicariously I
live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same so why
Why can't we just admit it.
