About Reason Is Treason

"Reason Is Treason" is the second single release from British rock band Kasabian. As a limited release it was ineligible for chart entry. The 10" release was packaged with a Kasabian stencil secured with two elastic bands. The promo CD was wrapped in brown paper with the Kasabian logo stencilled on the front. As the Kasabian website says that the 10" stencils are used, it is assumable that the stencils were sprayed on the CD promos and then packaged with the vinyl. Both versions feature the Jacknife Lee mix of the song as opposed to the album version. The track was used in Major League Baseball 2K8 as part of its soundtrack. A small section of the song was also used in the opening scene of Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, and was featured on the film soundtrack album. The song is featured as the opening theme song and soundtrack to the UK version of Gran Turismo 4 (along with part of the orchestral version of Moon Over the Castle).

Here come the morning that I say goodbye to ya
Here come the morning that'll say goodbye
But I don't turn around cause the reason is treason
Here come the morning that I say goodbye to ya
Here come the morning that'll say goodbye
But I don't turn around cause the reason is treason

See the stones coming at my window
See they left man no protection
T ell his family that he will be ok
K-I-LL!

Check the angles from both forces
Overcome by the need to fight it
Fight it fight it fight it fight it

Here come the morning that I say goodbye to ya
Here come the morning that'll say goodbye
But I don't turn around cause the reason is treason

I hear the sounds all around

Here come the morning that I say goodbye to ya
Here come the morning that'll say goodbye
But I don't turn around cause the reason is treason

Here come the morning that I say goodbye to ya
Here come the morning that'll say goodbye
But I don't turn around cause the reason is treason

Here come the morning that I say goodbye to ya
Here come the morning that'll say goodbye
But I don't turn around cause the reason is treason

I say!
