The Killers(杀手乐团)成立于2002年,来自美国拉斯维加斯,由Brandon Flowers(主唱),Dave Keuning(电吉他手),Mark Stoermer(贝司)和Ronnie Vannucci Jr.(鼓手)四人组建。他们音乐风格属于轻重摇滚,风格介于流行与摇滚之间。
2004年,The Killers横跨大西洋,与英国独立厂牌lizard king签约,之后以单曲《Mr. Brightside》冲上英国流行单曲榜top 10,收入了以上两支上榜单曲的首张专辑《Hot Fuss》于年中发行,充满了米字旗的味道,深受英国歌迷的喜爱。后来他们获得了美国大厂Island的一纸合约,跃身英国乐坛主流。其创作的首波全球单曲《somebody told me》拿下billboard现代摇滚单曲与英国金榜的第三名,声名大噪,专辑销售突破300万张。
主唱Brandon曾眼中闪着光芒说道:“我们想要成为美国的U2”,结果功夫不负苦心人!The Killers出道不到4个月就获得2005格莱美奖及全英音乐奖共5项提名,创作大碟《Hot Fuss》拿下英国金榜双周冠军、billboard流行专辑榜第8名,并受到U2的Bono,David Bowie,Duran Duran等人高度赞赏,摇滚爵士Elton John在巴黎宣传时特别邀请他们一起上电视节目,更是公开表示“这是我最爱的乐队”!

This is world that we live in
I feel myself get tired
This is the world that we live in
Well maybe I was mistaken
I heard a rumor that you quit this day and age
Well maybe I was mistaken
Bless your body, bless your soul
Pray for peace and self control
I gotta believe it’s worth it
Without a victory, I’m so sanctified and free
Well maybe I’m just mistaken
Lesson learned and the wheels keep turning
This is the world that we live in
I can’t take blame for two
This is the world that we live in
And maybe we’ll make it through
Bless your body, bless your soul
Reel me in and cut my throat
Underneath the waterfall
Baby we’re still in this ..
Ooooh yeah
This is the world that we live in
I feel myself get tired
This is the world that we live in
I had a dream that I was falling (down)
There’s no next time alone
A storm wastes it’s water on me
But my life was free
I guess it’s the world that we live in
It’s not too late for that
This is the world that we live in
And no, we can’t go back
This is the world that we live in
I still want something real
This is the world that we live in
I know that we can yield over time
This is the world that we live in (2x)
