Army of Me


Another track from the Sucker Punch soundtrack.  I just loved the dreamy lyrics while the bass is pounding away.  Generally not my scene, but the lyrics really suited the part.

"Army of Me" by Bjork really hit a chord, very simple lyrics but really slam home a point.  At the end of it all, when someone argues over "...what army" it's quite simple.  The army of me.

Much of the movie promotes the idea that you have to get up and do things yourself, usually with the aid of others.  Generally I enjoyed the movie, the over the top scenes and overall exaggeration of pretty much everything.

Stand up
You've got to manage
I won't sympathize
Anymore.


And if you complain once more
You'll meet an army of me
And if you complain once more
You'll meet an army of me


You're alright
There's nothing wrong
Self-sufficience please!
And get to work.


And if you complain once more
You'll meet an army of me
And if you complain once more
You'll meet an army of me
Army of me


You're on your own now
We won't save you
Your rescue-squad
Is to exhausted


And if you complain once more
You'll meet an army of me 
And if you complain once more
You'll meet an army of me
And if you complain once more
You'll meet an army of me
And if you complain once more
You'll meet an army of me
Army of me

No matter what, simply stand up and even if you're an army of one, make your stand.
