Current Personal Soundtrack

Slipping
From "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog"


Look at these people
Amazing how sheep'll
Show up for the slaughter
No one condemning you
Lined up like lemmings
You led to the water
Why can't they see what I see
Why can't they hear the lies?
Maybe the fee's too pricey
For them to realize
Your disguise is slipping
I think you're slipping

Now that your savior's
As still as the grave you're
Beginning to fear me
Like cavemen fear thunder
I still have to wonder
Can you really hear me?
I bring you pain - the kind
You can't suffer quietly
Fire up your brain - remind
You inside you're rioting
Society is slipping
Everything's slipping away
So...
    Go ahead - run away
    Say it was Horrible!
    Spread the word - tell a friend
    Tell them the tale!
    Get a pic - do a blog
    Heroes are over with!
    Look at him - not a word
    Hammer meet nail!
    Then I win - then I get
    Everything I ever
    All the cash - all the fame
    And social change!
    Anarchy that I run
    It's Dr. Horrible's turn!
    You people all have to learn
    This world is going to burn!
    Burn!
    (Yeah, it's two R’s. H-O-R-R... yeah, right)
    Burn!
No sign of Penny - good
I would give anything
Not to have her see
It's gonna be bloody
Head up Billy buddy
There’s no time for mercy
Here goes no mercy...

I do love this number.

Even though (or perhaps that should be especially since?) "Hammer, meet nail" is a really, really dumb threat when you think about it.

Well, Billy isn't the sharpest tack in the drawer, either.

A more appropriate threat would be to rephrase Goethe: "Du musst Amboss oder Hammer sein" - "You must be the Anvil or Hammer" (being that the anvil always breaks the hammer, despite what that episode of The Prisoner might want you to believe), but it's hard to make "anvil" scan.

I love this song because it actually uses the theme music.

Yes! Though possibly it's the other way around, with the main theme being drawn from this song.
