Silverchair - Pure Massacre

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5yvlDmPros

Machine guns pumping, hearts thumping
Death is all around
People crying for freedom
No one hears the sound

Silverchair Copyright Joint Authorship Dispute

'Twice during the memoir, Gillies brings into contention the true authorship of Tomorrow – which is officially credited to Johns and Gillies – claiming that Joannou co-wrote the song too. This is no small claim. Tomorrow has generated millions of dollars in royalties for the songwriters; it was the most-played track on US modern rock radio in 1995, a year in which Wonderwall by Oasis, Better Man by Pearl Jam and When I Come Around by Green Day were all jostling for high rotation. The single sold over a quarter of a million copies in Australia before the label removed it from sale, for fear of overexposure; it has since been licensed to video games Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Suffice to say: it has been a nice little earner.'
