Borrowing its styles from metal bands such as Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, and Korn, and given its resemblence to Rage Against the Machine, “Kill or Be Killed” is a heavier reminiscence and mixture of Muse’s old-fashioned heavy tracks.

Kill or Be Killed Lyrics
[Intro]
(Kill or be killed)
[Verse 1]
Cornered, I'm exhausted with fear
Our love and compassion dissolved
And demons have materialised in me
Can't fight them, they're taking control
[Pre-Chorus]
And we've tried, oh, we've tried
So hard to be good
But the world rewards us when we're bad
[Chorus]
Fate is driving me insane
It's forcing me to face
I must kill or be killed
[Post-Chorus]
(Kill or be killed)
[Verse 2]
They've driven a stake right through my hеart
I'm growing so cold and detached
[Pre-Chorus]
And I've triеd, oh, I've tried
So hard to spread love
But she prefers it when I assert control
[Chorus]
Fate has brought us here to face
Our hopes and dreams erased
Either kill or be killed
[Guitar Solo]
[Breakdown]
(Kill or be killed)
(War)
(Kill or be killed)
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Ya-ya...
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Either kill or be killed
[Chorus]
Fate is driving me insane
It's forcing me to face
I must kill or be killed
[Outro]
(Kill or be killed)
(Kill or be killed)
(Kill or be killed)
(Kill or be)

What did Muse say about "Kill or Be Killed"?
“Kill Or Be Killed” is Muse at their heaviest! We wanted to update our hard rock sound on this album and with “Kill Or Be Killed” we found a modern metal sound featuring double bass drum action and even a death growl. Lyrically the song takes influence from my favourite Paul McCartney song “Live And...
What have the artists said about the song?
Matt Bellamy:
It’s the first death growl ever on a Muse record. Well, the ‘ugh!’, it just came out like a high-pitched falsetto whale. Whenever I go loud, that’s where it goes. That is us going, ‘Okay, if we’re going to go heavy, let’s go heavy.’ Dom had a different kit for everything, pretty much....
