The Official Song Of The London Olympics Is A Musical Abomination

There are so many better ways you could spend five minutes and 20 seconds of your life. You could drink half a beer, you could go put a load of laundry in the washer, you could jab a fork into your ears repeatedly and without mercy. These are all better uses of your time than listening to Muse's "Survivial," which has been deemed the best musical representation of the spirit of the 2012 Summer Olympics.

Here are the lyrics, if you're curious. (Warning: Reading them is only marginally better than hearing them.)

Race, life is race And I am gonna win Yes, I am gonna win I light the fuse And I'll never lose And I choose to survive Whatever it takes You won't pull ahead I'll keep up the pace And I will reveal my strength to the whole human race Yes, I am prepared to stay alive I won't forgive Vengeance is mine, And I wont give in because I choose to thrive

And I am going to win

—- GUITAR SOLO—- (Yes, awesome)

Race, it's a race And I'm gonna win, Yes I am gonna win And I will light the fuse And I'll never lose And I choose to survive Whatever it takes You won't pull ahead Because I'll keep up the pace And I will reveal my strength to the whole human race Yes I am going to win.

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Win! Win! Win! Win! YES I'M GOING TO WIN.
