Guilty All the Same is the third track from Linkin Park's sixth studio album The Hunting Party. It was released as a single by Warner Bros. Records on March 7, 2014. It features a guest appearance from American rapper Rakim from the golden age hip-hop duo Eric B. and Rakim. A radio edit was released the same day that does not feature Rakim's bridge.
Composition[]
"GATS" is the first heavy song Linkin Park produced since 2006, the last one being "QWERTY ". The guitar is very notable, having it's own solo and blazing through with it's monster riff and 2 minute long intro. It is also driven by aggressive drums with Chester Bennington using melodic vocals until the song's bridge left alone for Rakim to "crush" it with his hip-hop verses. Guilty All the Same is considered as a new, exciting, energetic, challenging and refreshing song, being the one the band used to give a taste of the album The Hunting Party.
Lyrics[]
Tell us all again
What you think we should be
What the answers are
What it is we can't see
Tell us all again
How to do what you say
How to fall in line
How there's no other way
But oh / we all now
You're guilty all the same
Too sick to be ashamed
You want to point your finger
But there's no one else to blame
You're guilty all the same
Too sick to be ashamed
You want to point your finger
But there's no one else to blame
You're guilty all the same
Show us all again
That our hands are unclean
That we're unprepared
That you have what we need
Show us all again
'Cause we cannot be saved
'Cause the end is near
Now there's no other way
But oh / we all know
You're guilty all the same
Too sick to be ashamed
You want to point your finger
But there's no one else to blame
You're guilty all the same
Too sick to be ashamed
You want to point your finger
But there's no one else to blame
There's no one else to blame
You're guilty all the same
(...all the same)
(...all the same)
(...all the...)
You're guilty all the same
(...all the same)
(...all the same)
(...all the...)
You're guilty all the same..!
Yeah, you already know what it is
Can y'all explain what kind of land is this
When a man has plans for being rich
But the bosses plans is wealthy
Dirty money scheme, a clean split is nonesense
It's insane
Even corporate hands is filthy
They talk team and take the paper route
All they think about is bank accounts, assets and realty
At anybody's expense
No shame with a clear conscience
No regrets and guilt free
They claim that ain't the way that they built me
The smoke screen before the flame
Knowing as good as the dough or the deal peak
They say it's time for things to change
Rearrange like good product rebuilt cheap
Anything if it's more to gain
Drained, manipulated like artists, it's real deep
Until no more remains
But I'm still me
Like authentic hip-hop and rock
Til pop and radio and record companies kill me
Try to force me to stray and obey
And got the gall to say how real can real be
You feel me we'll see that green could be to blame
Or greedy for the fame
TV or a name
The media, the game
To me you're all the same
You're guilty
(You're guilty)
(You're guilty)
(You're guilty)
(You're guilty)
(You're guilty)
(You're guilty)
(You're guilty)
(You're guilty)
You're guilty all the same
Too sick to be ashamed
You want to point your finger
But there's no one else to blame
You're guilty all the same
Too sick to be ashamed
You want to point your finger
But there's no one else to blame
There's no one else to blame!
Guilty all the same
(...all the same)
(...all the same)
(...all the...)
Guilty all the same
(...all the same)
(...all the same)
(...all the...)
Guilty all the same!
