Unnatural Disaster

You wanted to be famous - you could smell success
And now you say you're blameless for this toxic mess
But the truth remains - you let it all go down
Your claim to fame - you destroyed this town

They're frothing at the mouth - trying to get out
Now they're going down - you never made a sound
And instead of trying to help 'em get away
You let 'em wake up dying - you had nothing to say

An unnatural disaster - that's what you do, that's what you are
You got no master - but that don't mean you get to play the part

You can push it down - You can go underground
You can merge with Dow and hope you don't get found
You try to push it away - you try to shift the blame
Union Carbide - We're gonna remember your name

An unnatural disaster - that's what you do, that's what you are
You got no master - but that don't mean you get to play the part
An unnatural disaster - that's what you do, that's what you are
Say what you have to - but what you do is what you are

Funkmetal, eh? That guitar tone is over-the-top. I like it. Very cool playing. It's a shame that this song is basically 95% that one guitar riff (or, slight variations on it) over and over again. Those drums need to be much punchier and more in-your-face. That backwards solo ain't doin' anything for me. Maybe I'm not hearing them right, but the nebulous lyrics offer me nothing to grip onto: all I know is the song is about someone who did some stuff. EDIT: Just read the lyrics. OK, once you're familiar with the subject (which, for me, took reading through a couple wikipedia articles) the lyrics actually do a great job of talking about this specific 'unnatural disaster' in a way that leaves the lyric open to interpretation. Still, to those who are unversed in Indian Industrial Accidents, it just sounds like a bunch of tired, generic lines. In retrospect, you might have gotten a little screwed by me not getting the lyrics.
