Muse – Knights of Cydonia Lyrics 12 years ago
I'll show you why God
Falls asleep on the job

According to Rocksmith, the lyrics should be:

I'll show you a God
Who falls asleep on the job

This is important, as it gives the line a different meaning.

Muse – Unnatural Selection Lyrics 12 years ago
I think the song is saying that not everyone is created equal (in terms of abilities and whatnot).

Let me break it down:

"They laugh as they watch us fall, and the lucky don't care at all", considering what I said earlier, we're not all equal, and treating us as such will make sure that some people can't do well in life, but the people that do doesn't care.

"We're not droplets in the ocean", everyone's a different individual, with different abilities, strenghths and weaknesses.

"I'll still make you believe, they are the special ones", despite this, it keeps going on, and eveyone that doesn't fit in with this is treated as an idiot, or a "special one" if you will.

That's how I interpret the song, anyways. If you look at the rest of the lyrics with that in mind, I think it becomes very clear. It became to me when a friend listened to the song and told me that.
