2008 Armageddon Theme - Chinese Democracy by Guns N' Roses Lyrics

According to metalunderground.com, the WWE has signed rock band Guns N' Roses to provide the theme song for the 2008 Armageddon Pay-Per-View. Guns N' Roses' hardrock title track from their latest album, Chinese Democracy
will provide the backdrop of the last WWE Pay-Per-View in 2008. Their album is 17 years in the making for the group, but features just one original member, 46 year old lead singer Axel Rose. New members include bandmembers from groups such as Nine Inch Nails and The Replacements. According to a New York Times article in 2005, they described the album as the "most expensive album never made," estimating its cost at $13 million.

Right now the group's return album is available exclusively at iTunes & BestBuy stores. The full album was streamed ahead of release on Myspace. One song was also released for a video game. The song "Chinese Democracy" has peaked at #34 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles list, and the band hopes that the additional exposure with WWE will help increase awareness of their new album. A recent news story discussed how fans of the band in China were unable to buy the album legally due to its title. Fans were still able to listen to the 14 track album on the band's Myspace page.

2008 Armageddon Theme
Chinese Democracy Lyrics
by Guns N' Roses

It don't really matter
You're gonna find out for yourself
No it don't really matter
You're gonna leave this thing to somebody else

If they were missionaries
Real time visionaries
Sitting in a Chinese stew
To view my dis-in-fat-u-ation

I know that I'm a classic case
Watch my disenchanted face
Blame it on the Falun Gong
They've seen the end and it can't hold on now

'Cause it would take a lot more hate than you
To end the fascination
Even with an iron fist
All they got to rule the nation
When all I've got is precious time

It don't really matter
Guess I'll keep it to myself
Said it don't really matter
It's time I look around for somebody else

'Cause it would take a lot more time than you
Have got for masturbation
Even with your iron fist
All they got to rule the nation
When all we got is precious time
All they got to fool the nation
When all I got is precious time

It don't really matter
I guess you'll find out for yourself
No it don't really matter
So you can hear it now from somebody else

You think you got it all locked up inside
And if you beat 'em enough they'll die
It's like a walk in the park from a cell
And now you're keeping your own kind in hell
When your great wall rocks blame yourself
While their arms reach up for your help
And you're out of time.
