    I've been listening to AJR's songs since 6th grade, through middle school(which I can say was some of the hardest years for most). I have cried to their songs, learned from them, related to them, and even found something to talk about with my older sister(who is in college). Every time I listen to this song, I remember that AJR are my role models. They have influenced my life in so many ways. I've never been able to tell what my favorite band is but now I know and nobody can change it. AJR will always be held in a special place in my heart because of the things they have taught me. I'm so glad they are getting more popular these days so more people can say the same thing I have.

    I might owe my life to some creators who turned out to be horrible people. My go to song for when I'm feeling overwhelmed was written by someone I don't want to be associated with anymore. I'm scared to get too attached to any group I admire because I never want to feel that pain again.

    When you look through older interviews of AJR, they always mention how Kanye West influenced their music production. And when you listen to the sincere plea of the song, it really hits how hurt they are by their "role models." Another song is well done, AJR. Well done.

I remember listening to The Click every morning on the winters bus ride to school. Now I feel like I can’t listen because it will make me homesick. Anyways, all sad shit aside.

    [Intro]
    3, 4
    [Chorus]
    All my role models are on TV for the wrong reasons
    And, I will unravel if you rip away my best pieces
    Would've never come so far, without someone there to start it
    Can I truly love the art, when I kinda hate the artist
    But, all my role models are on TV for the wrong reasons
    Wrong reasons
    [Verse 1]
    This time of year, I'm feelin' weird, might be allergies
    Wanna move out, but when I move out, who'll be proud of me
    Thought I was made, from men that were great, put that crown on me
    Thought I was made, from Louis C.K
    [Chorus]
    But, all my role models are on TV for the wrong reasons
    (Ah, ahh-ah-ah, ah, ahh-ah-ah)
    And, I will unravel if you rip away my best pieces
    (Ah, ahh-ah-ah, ah, ahh-ah-ah)
    Would've never come so far, without someone there to start it
    Can I truly love the art, when I kinda hate the artist
    But, all my role models are on TV for the wrong reasons
    (Ah, ahh-ah-ah, ah, ahh-ah-ah)
    Wrong reasons
    [Verse 2]
    I used to say, just what's on my brain, 'cause you always did
    You used to be, so special to me, now you've taken it
    Look at this mess, should I forget, what you gave to me?
    Look at this mess, wake up Mr. West
    [Chorus]
    Cause, all my role models are on TV for the wrong reasons
    (Ah, ahh-ah-ah, ah, ahh-ah-ah)
    And, I will unravel if you rip away my best pieces
    (Ah, ahh-ah-ah, ah, ahh-ah-ah)
    Would've never come so far, without someone there to start it
    Can truly love the art, when I kinda hate the artist
    But, all my role models are on TV for the wrong reasons
    (Ah, ahh-ah-ah, ah, ahh-ah-ah)
    Wrong reasons
    [Outro]
    Ah, ahh-ah-ah, ah, ahh-ah-ah
    Ah, ahh-ah-ah, ah, ahh-ah-ah
    Would've never come so far, without someone there to start it
    Can I truly love the art, when I kinda hate the artist

(Mine were Walt Disney and John Lassiter) but you then you start peeling away the layers, and they turn out to be terrible people doing terrible things. Thats whats with the camera. It zooming in on Jack, might be the brief eye opener we see when an issue with someone surfaces

    ive since removed every song of theirs out of my spotify library. what was done was unforgivable.
