Muse have dropped yet more new music and a video from their upcoming album, Drones - check out 'JFK' and 'Defector' below.
The heavily politicised track begins with a legendary speech from John F Kennedy slamming the corruption of democracy through greed, before the band kick in to the steady but arena-ready rocker.
"Free, yeah I'm free," howls Matt Bellamy over a stomping Bowie-esque groove punctuated by some Queen anthemics, as the band play on a hazy TV, flickering with images of political descent and revolution.
The band have been gradually unveiling more and more music from Drones. With its release due on Monday, they've already shared singles, 'Pyscho', 'Dead Inside' and 'Mercy', as well as 'Reapers' and 'The Handler'. With a heavy concept connecting all tracks, it may surprise very few that the band would love to turn Drones into a musical.
Watch the lyric video for 'JFK + Defector' below
The lyrics for 'Defector' are:
Free
Yeah, I'm free
From your inciting
You can't brainwash me
You've got a problem Free
Yeah I'm free
From society
You can't control me
I'm a defector
You think you're strong and you can't be broken
But your empire is dissolving
You thought, you thought I was weak
But you got it wrong
Look into my eyes
I'm a defector
Free
Yeah, I'm free
From your inciting
You can't brainwash me
You've got a problem
Free
Yeah I'm free
From society
You can't control me
I'm a defector
Your blood is blue and your mind is turned green
And your belly is all yellow
You believe your throne is too high to be overthrown
We'll watch it get razed
By a defector
Free
Yeah, I'm free
From your inciting
You can't brainwash me
You've got a problem
Free
Yeah I'm free
From society
You can't control me
I'm a defector
I'm a defector
Free
Yeah, I'm free
From your inciting
You can't brainwash me
You've got a problem
Free
Yeah I'm free
From society
You can't control me
I'm a defector
