New Single "Guilty"!! [July 13th]

[Black Hearted Love]

my attempt to lyric

Losing regulation

There's a little figure
On the television
Scratching at the ground
By a pile of rice
Greedy little b...
On television screens
Waiting at the moment
Guilty! Guilty!

What's he doing with that stick? Wich one is guilty?

[...] radar [...]
Growing little ... weeper (?)
Greedy little suspects
Running for the shelter
The drones have come
Come in a thousands

But nobody asked us if we wanted them

Back in the bunker
In the Operations Room
8 boy soldier is eating hes lunch
by dozens in a thousand (?)
by Milton, TX
To roaring voices (?)

I love the preview and can't wait to buy it and listen to it. Just wondering why she's releasing this song as a stand alone track instead of a b-side. They're not calling it a new single. Makes me wonder if instead of b-sides to singles we'll get random songs released like this.

Great song! They should include it to their live sets!

Bought a 16-bit FLAC at Qobuz by the way.

I think the first bit could be "rules and regulation"

And I heard "Growing little ... weeper (?)" as something to do with the Grim Reaper.

Losing regulation

I think the first bit could be "rules and regulation"

I still think it's "Use annihilation".

Me also hears 'rules and regulation(s)'.

[Romario11]

yeah i'm sure it's 'rules and regulations' and i'm sticking by that despite the BHL suggestion!

Too bad it's not a lyric video...

[somme]

So I'm pretty sure these are all right now.

Guilty

Rules and regulations

There's a little figure
On the television
Scratching at the ground
By a pile of rags
Grainy little figures
On television screens
Waiting at the moment
Guilty! Guilty!

What's he doing with that stick?
Which one is guilty?

Power the the private eye
The Grim Reaper
Grainy little suspects
Running for the shelter
The drones have come
Come in a thousands

But nobody asked us if we wanted them
If we wanted them
If we wanted them

Back in the bunker
In the Operations Room
A boy soldier is eating his lunch
While drones in their thousands
Are built in Texas
To roaring voices
But nobody asked us
If we wanted them
