Not Much has come out of my life . I know I failed to live against the grain, and I wake up for the morning commute , and I feel empty and sad and yea sorry for venting . Helps I guess

    I can't remember if this came out in 08 or 09. I just remember hearing it for the first time on Indie 103 (back when LA had good radio stations) on my way home from work and feeling blown away by what I had just heard. When I got home I googled some of the lyrics I could remember to discover MGMT and that amazing album. Music discovery is such a personal thing. When you're the one who gets to turn other people on to a new band it's the best.

    LYRICS
    I'm feelin' rough I'm feelin' raw I'm in the prime of my life
    Let's make some music make some money find some models for wives
    I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars
    You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars
    This is our decision to live fast and die young.
    We've got the vision, now let's have some fun.
    Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?
    Forget about our mothers and our friends
    We were fated to pretend.
    I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms
    I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world
    I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home
    Yeah I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone
    But there is really nothing, nothing we can do
    Love must be forgotten. life can always start up anew
    The models will have children, we'll get a divorce,
    We'll find some more models, everything must run its course
    We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end
    We were fated to pretend
    Yeah yeah yeah
