Hello.I'm italian and I don't speak english very well.

 

In Dead By Sunrise's song in question, I cannot understand the words of the chorus;

 

Many sites report:

 

Coming out of the hypocrisy

Coming out of the bureaucracy

Coming in to lead to war

They're a shame

 

 

other sites:

 

Common Enemy hypocrisy

Common Enemy theocracy

The common enemy war machine.

 

Which side is right?

Hello and thank you.

the top one sounds more accurate.

it flows better and makes more sense in terms of syntax

 

EDIT: sorry to use "syntax"... it means the way a sentence "flows".

The second one is correct (you can clearly hear the "m" in "enemy"). It should read like:

 

Common enemy: Hypocrisy

Common enemy: Theocracy

Common enemy: The war machine

Thanks.

This means that Chester sings:

 

Common enemy: Hypocrisy

Common enemy: Theocracy

Common enemy: The war machine

 

Is this the correct part?

None of those are right. I have the Japanese edition of OOA and it has a lyrics booklet, the lyrics are

 

Cmon enemy hypocrisy

Cmon enemy theocracy

Cmon enemy the war machine

Cmon enemy hypocrisy

Cmon enemy theocracy

Cmon enemy the war machine

are you sure that's not just bad translation?

trying to write down lyrics just by listening to the song a few times is pretty hard, and I doubt the company would waste hours trying to get the words bang on...

Because lyrics booklets are never wrong. Ever.

He's right, quite often it's just some other people typing up the booklet lyrics by listening to the songs.

 

"It's the end of the world as we know it" oh wait that was a different song :P

 

It sounds like "common" to me

it does sound like 'common' on record.

but then again if i don't know the words i tend to just make a vaguely similar noise along to the recording. don't think I've ever looked up lyrics because I desperately wanted to know what they were.

except for "Black Dragon Fighting Society" - try and decipher that on your own!

Well the lyrics from the booklet actually make sense when talking about the government and world. And to me, it sounds like that. But to each their own, I guess.
