They all met determined fate and
I was Cain you were Abel to compare, aaah
I say aluminium
They were dangerous decisions
And with little corporations
I say aluminium
I say aluminium
Quotes:
You say aluminum (X3)
Made by rational individuals in the past, aaah
At the feet of big relations took control, aaah
You say aluminum (X3)
You say aluminum (X3)

Notes:
Note the subtle difference between the English spelling of "aluminium" and the American variation without the second "i". The chorus is therefore referring to the different pronunciations. Cain and Abel were the sons of Adam and Eve, who were of biblical fame. This song was first mentioned by the NME in a post-Mwng article as a working title for a new song, and Cian has said it was physically recorded during the Phantom Power sessions.
