Mad at Gravity - Walk Away
Time: 1:00
Of merciful measures
Making ends preempt the means
And I searched your eyes for an answer
preempt
seize precedence; acquire for oneself before others can do so

Songs Featuring “preempt”
The Stupendium - A Purpose for New London
Time: 2:15
Each shiver will deliver us deliverance in time
Burn the innocents for penitence if we preempt the crime
I'm protector of the truth, great erector of the New Faith
Murder by Death - I'm Afraid of Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe
Time: 0:44
By the comments on your clothing or the makeup on your face
I didn't mean to preempt the chase
You're the drama queen of every scene perfectly out of place
