Charlotte Cardin – Anyone Who Loves Me Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I rest my case sophisticated
Reckless like I promised
And I had it, then I managed
And you talked me through it
Baby, do it

Well, you saved me
Then you made me rich and …

I rest my case sophisticated

[Chorus: Q-Tip & Cordae]
When I think it’s all she wrote, looking through my holy quotes
Looking for the antidote, and I think I’ve found that it’s life
Life, my nigga, it’s life, …
[Intro]
Yeah, uh
Hey, yo
Alright
[Verse 1]
My mom had a nigga at the age of fifteen
Was forced to drop out of school to take care of a king
She had a desire to sing …
[Intro]
Maybe when I’m, maybe when I’m na-na-na, na-na
Maybe when I’m, maybe when I’m, maybe when I’m older
[Verse 1]
Payphone calls, cigarettes, injuries, shower sex
I was holding on for dear life
Complicated, understated, …
[Verse 1]
Hannah honey was a peachy kind of girl
Her eyes were hazel
And her nose was slightly curved
We spent a lonely night at the Memory Motel
It’s on the ocean, I guess …
If you do not do what you’re told to do when you’re told to do it, you will be punished. Do you understand?
(Aye, sir)
If you leave my base without proper authorisation, I will hunt you down and throw your ass in jail. Do you understand?
(Aye, sir)
I can’t hear you!
(Aye, sir!)
Scream it!
(Aye, sir!)
Your ass belongs to me now!
(Aye, sir!)1
Love, it will get you nowhere
You’re on your own
Lost in the wild2
So come to me3 now
I could use someone like you4
Someone who’ll kill on my command
And asks no questions5
I’m gonna make you
I’m gonna break you
I’m gonna make you
A fucking psycho
A fucking psycho
A fucking psycho6
Your ass belongs to me now7
Are you a human drone?
(Aye, sir!)
Are you a killing machine?
(Aye, sir!)
I’m in control, motherfucker, do you understand?
(Aye, sir!)8
Your mind is just a program
And I’m the virus9
I’m changing the station
I’ll improve your thresholds10
I’ll turn you into a super drone (super drone)
And you will kill on my command
And I won’t be responsible11
I’m gonna make you
I’m gonna break you
I’m gonna make you

I will break you, do you understand?
I will break you, do you understand?
(Aye, sir!)13
You fucking psycho
Your ass belongs to me now

These opening words to “Psyco” are shared by Muse with listeners as an attempt to criticize a culture of militaristic power-mongering.
Muse says that those who behave nicely will never get what they need and want. Love is a soft force that cannot withstand the power of those who use aggression.
That is, to a warmonger.
That is, someone who can be pushed around and will follow orders.
Muse is criticizing the culture of blindly following one’s military leaders.
This stanza refers to the psychological problems begotten of living in a military culture.
“Your ass belongs to me now” reveals just how dehumanized a soldier can become as he serves the interests of his own oppressors.
Muse unveils how military leaders have weaponized human beings, thus dehumanizing them. Humans are stripped of their basic humanity when they become soldiers serving an empire that does not serve their interests.
Singing from the perspective of a military leader, Muse says they are the ones to dictate a soldier’s psyche, thoughts, speech, and actions.
Military leaders often make it seem as if giving up one’s mind to a superior is in a soldier’s best interest.
Muse points out the irony between horrendous violence and the lack of guilt, shame, or blame of those who commit war crimes.
Muse uses this stanza to unveil the culture of domination, violence, and fear that is rhetorically infused into military life.
Muse shows their listeners that soldiers are complacent about their own suffering, believing they are doing it for someone else.
This entire song is a scathing criticism of war culture and militaristic structures and systems.
