The Killers - The Man

| Kerri

I know the score like the back of my hand
Them other boys, I don't give a damn
They kiss on the ring, I carry the crown
Nothing can break, nothing can break me down
Don't need no advice, I got a plan
I know the direction, the lay of the land
I know the score like the back of my hand
Them other boys, I don't give a damn

I'm the man, come round
No-no-nothing can break, no-nothing can break me down
I'm the man, come round and
No-no-nothing can break, you can't break me down

Controversy here at TMIS: posting The Killers. If I'd have attempted to write up a classic Killers hit, such as the beloved "Mr. Brightside", I have no doubt that Keith would have deleted the post. (Bonus video: "Human" from 2008) There's few things (musical or otherwise) Keith's a hater of but Brandon's band gets that distinction. I, on the other hand, am a fan of the music despite having an issue personally with delusional Mr. Flowers. So anyway, this is the first new Killers song in forever and it's glam-rocky, Bowie-inspired, straight-forward-yet-tongue-in-cheek fun. I like it and I'm optimistic about the upcoming album, and about seeing The Killers perform at ACL in October. (Thankfully, at a festival literally a couple blocks from our door, Keith can either watch another performance or go home early.)
