Muse: The Small Print Meaning
The Small Print Lyrics
And I'll compensate your greed

The original title of this song was Action Faust, referring to a play in which the main character(Faust) sells his soul to the devil in exchange for the devil doing his bidding while alive. Faust eventually realizes that is was a horrible trade and starts to rethink, but it was too late.

Well
the whole album is kinda concept-album about the end of the world
and it seems to me the lyrics deal with the same theme
(you´re to blame for all the life that you´ll lose)

he cheats the people out of her good memories -
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
