This song, “Army of Me”, is part of the soundtrack of the movie Sucker Punch. A young girl is institutionalized by her abusive stepfather. Retreating to an alternative reality as a coping strategy, she envisions a plan which will help her escape from the mental facility.
The song was written and performed by Bjork and features Skunk Anansie. Army of Me caught my ear immediately. It’s driving industrial sound along with a techno beat fits the movie perfectly.
Army of Me Lyrics
Stand up
You’ve got to manage
I won’t sympathize
Anymore.
And if you complain once more
You’ll meet an army of me
And if you complain once more
You’ll meet an army of me
You’re alright
There’s nothing wrong
Self-sufficience please!
And get to work.
And if you complain once more
You’ll meet an army of me
And if you complain once more
You’ll meet an army of me
Army of me
You’re on your own now
We won’t save you
Your rescue-squad
Is to exhausted
And if you complain once more
You’ll meet an army of me
And if you complain once more
You’ll meet an army of me
And if you complain once more
You’ll meet an army of me
And if you complain once more
You’ll meet an army of me
Army of me
