Radio X flips through the Matt Bellamy songbook and picks his finest words of wisdom.

Muse are all set to release their ninth studio album, Will Of The People, on 26th August. Matt Bellamy says of the new album: " “Will Of The People is influenced by the increasing uncertainty and instability in the world. This album is a personal navigation through those fears and preparation for what comes next.”

As a man with a lot of weighty topics on his mind, Bellamy has created some intriguing lyrics over the years. Here are just a few of them.

1. “Rise up and take the power back/It's time the fat cats had a heart attack/You know that their time's coming to an end/We have to unify and watch our flag ascend.”
