This song makes up the majority of the second part of the album's story.
In this song, it describes how the main character feels neglected by people and by the state. ("You were never truly loved, you have only been betrayed"). He then seeks revenge on the world in the form of nuclear war ("I have given you the code"- he has gained access to the nuclear launch codes, "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Fire." - the launching of the nuclear weapons). The song then describes the aftermath of the nuclear war ("There are no countries left to fight and conquer, I think I destroyed them all").
Surprised that there are no comments yet, considering it's Muse... It's a great song, despite perhaps not living up to the tag of "Citizen Erased Part 2".
@PorcTree I agree that it didn't live up to the title "Citizen Erased pt 2". It shouldn't have been advertised as that. Still one of my favorites on the album though.

@PorcTree There always tends to be less comments when the lyrics cannot be interpreted as a breakup song.
