Leviathan Rhythm - A Pop Song to Hobbes
In the heart of nature's game (ooh, ooh)
Life is nasty, British and short
Throbbing beat of Hobbes' fame
(Leviathan)
Dance
(Leviathan)
In the arc of history's frame (oh oh)
Life is nasty, brutish and short
A bell tolls with Hobbes' acclaim
(Leviathan)
Stride
(Leviathan)
We’re dancing through the war of all against all
In the Leviathan's shadow, we stand tall
Life’s nasty, British, and short, but here we got the ball
Under the social contract, we won't fall
Move your body to the rhythm of fear, and self-preservation
Feel the power, absolute, dance to the formation
Slide through the shadows, come on get loose,
Leviathan's rhythm, we forge our own truce
In the dance of the strong, where life's short and it's British,
We find our might, in the beat, we're not skittish
(Oh, Leviathan)
Living in the war of all 'gainst all
In the dark of night, with a chill in the soul (oh, oh)
Stricken minds, in panic, they roll
Underneath the Hobbesian spell (Leviathan)
Seeking order, escaping our natural hell (Leviathan)
With the wild in their eyes, and the fear in their hearts (oh, oh)
Equality reigns, but it tears them apart
People should fear each, it's the human art (Leviathan)
Living on the edge, where the strong outsmart (Leviathan)
In the grip of the state, nature's cruel device
We tangle and we struggle, but we pay the price
In every step, a law we shape, no anarchy tonight (tonight)
Strobe lights flash like fear that bites, this social contract's tight (so tight)
With every move, we improve, a dance beyond the fight
Where life is hard, the floor's your yard, in darkness we find light
The social contract saves! (Oh, it saves!)
Down with anarchy and down with revolution! (Revolution!)
