Lyrics:
Like a burning monk, you’re my light flare out in the dark. You’re my constant call to arms. Took the blindfold off, they’d left chalk outlines where the future was. It’s a god damned war of attrition. It’s death by a 1000 cuts. If these motherfuckers made it to heaven, they’d burn the bridge when they got across. They’re getting their anchors. They’re gathering rope. You’re pushing to heaven all alone. They’re grabbing your ankles. They won’t let you go. The ebb and the distant flow. They’re cutting your wings off. Built you ceilings out of stained glass. You’re caught like gravel in my skinned knee. The wound will close eventually. You’ll stay as a reminder of how fucked this world can be. Held your funeral on a Tuesday. The holy water’s November-cold. The kid that pulled the trigger knew tomorrow couldn’t promise him hope. These bastards are gathering rope. You’re marching to heaven all alone. They’re grabbing your ankles. They won’t let you go. The ebb and the distant flow. They’re cutting your wings off. Built you ceilings out of stained glass. They were cutting your wings off. I was staring at my idle hands. Maybe I could have done something. Maybe I could have made a difference. John Wayne with a God complex tells me to buy a gun like shooting a teenage kid is gonna solve any problems, like it’s an arms race, like death don’t mean nothing. To know the heavy price of living poor walled in by red lines backed into corner. Not knowing, growing up, what it's like to belong here in America. If everyone’s built the same, then how come building is so fucking hard for you? It’s something we’re all born into. Nothing’s left up to gray. It’s black or white and sometimes black and blue. It’s something we’re all born into. Now I know what’s in a name; not just my father’s. Three fifths a man makes half of me. Why should I bother? Merchants of misery stacking the deck. Fuck your John Waynes. Fuck your god complex. I’ve got everything in front of me but can’t reach far enough to touch those fever dreams they call American. I am the ghetto’s chosen one, the privileged bastard son.

If anyone ever needs a definition for the word "passion," this song/video is it.
Definitely....can't get enough of this song. No song comes close to the feels this one gives me. It's like crashing back to earth once it's ended and another song starts playing. I quickly go back to this one, repeatedly.
I've never heard an album full of Tattoo-worthy passages....then came this band...The Greatest Generation has so full of them, and so is this album...man, Soupy is a fuckin lyrical genius...
facts\
Apparently this is one of TWY's least favorite albums due to writer's block, but for me, this and greatest generation are my favorite albums by them and maybe in general and are the most emotionally resonant.
Dan Campbell: lyrical genius.
Whoever did the camera work for this video deserves a gold medal
Right??
dylwalsh kinda instantly reminded me of uhm.. knuckle pucks new evergreen music video
+Derek James You mean the new KP video reminded you of this? Because this has been out for almost a year now.
"Three fifths a man makes half of me, why should I bother?"
Wow... that is a powerful line.
It especially hits home now. I've been listening to this song for 5 years but didn't recognize its lyrics are about racial injustice until seeing it in a protest playlist today.
@@tarttooth6022 how is this, how?
also it's this old man makes half of me why should I bother
@@lukaswalding4458 it’s literally about racial injustice how can you even argue against it, three fifths a man makes half of me are the lyrics it’s the whole point of the song Jesus Christ
@@ClawDomination yeah just read his description of the meaning you are right. I just thought it was less a race thing and more a class things But the lyrics do differ in some places
Seeing them perform this with Jason. That's gonna be something else man.
I can't fucking wait to see it
+Xandalph Saw them support enter shikari. They are amazing
+Xandalph It fucking was lmfao
+Xandalph Just saw them an hour ago. They ended the concert with this. It was very passionate, but I wish Jason had stayed up there at the end, he played his part and left the stage pretty quick.
Jared Gilbertsen Dude, I was gonna drive eleven hours for that show, but I decided against it, just sucks that I missed this tour. I bet they ripped in Philly.
It's crazy how good this band is, everything they put out is just quality
they all look like they're ready to go on a nice trip to the mountains
THIS BAND MAKE MY LIFE SO MUCH BETTER
Watching all The Wonder Years’ music videos after they announced they’re touring the UK in November. I’ve waited long enough for this!!! I love this band so much!!! Nothing beats singing your heart out to beautiful lyrics.
"To touch these fever dreams they call American" Gave me chills man, no one does lyrics like Soupy holy shit I love this band to absolute bits.
Same here man.
Everyone is like Jason! No beards! I am over here like: "Is Hank still alive?"
Average lifespan of a pigeon is about 6 years so he still has like a year or so. Give or take a few months of course.
It's so hard for me to listen to this album, front to back. Whenever I reach this track, I lose it.
It seems to sound a lot like Cigarettes and Saints in the song structure. Love how much passion he puts in
Two of the best bands in the world together.
Listened to this song hundreds of times now and it's still as brilliant as the first, this video couldn't be more perfect.
Jason and Soupy break my heart. They're such wonderful human beings.
This was their encore last night and i gotta say microwave, tiny moving parts, letlive, and the wonder years left everything on stage when performing
Goosebumps everytime i hear this song.
This is honestly one of my favorite new songs.
This song is incredible, but the music video is also pretty outstanding. Whoever directed it did a great job.
this is what i need today some wonder years pick me up relatable music
When two legends meet this beautifulness happens.
This isn't the first time they've recorded together. Soupy was featured on the song The Dope Beat on letlive's newest album
+Wyatt Chapman I thought Soupy was only on the Renditions version of the song?
+Gaz Radley Soupy was just on renditions. You're right
wow the emotion in this song is insanely powerful. damn.
I keep finding myself here, getting lost in this song and video. It swells so good.
Heard this song for the first time a few days ago and my God have I had it on repeat since
This video is the real MVP
they better do "thanks for the ride" next
God, I keep watching the music videos and reminiscing about the concert. So heartfelt and fucking raw, from the start to Jason jumping in to the very last chord.
I swear, if they ever come to my town again, I won't be missing them for the world.
What is even happening at 4:00?
This video is unbelievably perfect. Jason kills it.
I guess I can say i'm now having Stained Glass Feelings ;-;
Saw them in the basement of the rave with letlive....one of the best shows I've ever seen! This band is incredible!
This is one of the greatest songs, ever. So why is the views still way too low?! :(
DEX435 because crappy music is the new trend...
I've been listening to this song since the album came out, and I still get chills every time.
One of my favorite songs of all time
No CAP
Jason absolutely kills this song!
This song & Video is so slept on. I love this so much.
how does this have less than half a million views the world needs to see it
This 5 minute video is the apex of their career. Everything before and after this moment is something less than perfect.
I've seen letlive. and The Wonder Years both live (not together) and both were some of the most emotional experiences this far in my life.
+Noah S. Fully backed.
The lyrical content and song structure is truly masterful
Fuck, this is beautiful, just all the passion in his voice is just beautiful.
theese guys are authentic
seeing them perform this live last night was something else. one of my favorite moments out of the countless songs by the countless bands and artists I've seen live.
Can we get a side project that is just the entirety of The Wonder Years and letlive. because that would be the most incredible thing that has ever existed.
I've see both LetLive and The Wonder Years live. Both of them have easily put on the best shows I've ever been to in my life. Jason fucking go nuts on stage is is so entertaining and Soupy is just so fun and constructs an amazing show. Both of these dudes pour their hearts out into their music and composed one of the best collab songs I've heard in a long time. Can't wait to see them again. Great song.
I am deeply moved
Jeremi Mattern always does a great job with the music videos!
I love this band man
I just need to say the audio quality of this video is fantastic
They Finally made a music video ❤️
a moment of silence for Jason and Soupy's beard
Yes 🔥 saw them live the other week
I really miss the old The Wonder Years but I still fucking love the new The Wonder Years. I still have hope deep down tho that the next album will sound something like the upsides.
One of the best songs I have ever heard! I'm kind of mad that I just found it now.
seeing them tomorrow 😍😍😍😍😍
Me too, it's going to be worth every second.
I'm compelled to say god damn is that a great tune
Just watching this, I'm shitting gold.
Woooooooooooooooooow goosebumbs
This song is so obnoxiously intense... the feels take over my body.
This is brilliant! I loved every second of this music video. Thank you The Wonder Years for such amazing music!
I'm in love with the song as a whole but jeez. My absolute favorite part of this video is when Jason steps in and does his verse, into the end of the song. This Video is great.
What other songs of theirs have this type of melody. Im obsessed
chills
When I was able to download this from my preorder & finally came to this track I kept swearing the feature was Jason (from Letlive. for those unaware) he has such a unique voice & the topic of this track have some justice to that
Yehaaaaaaaaa Jason!!!
Thank you wonder years. Seriously.
4:19 Soupy's Like "get the fuck up Jason, don't mess this shit up.." letlive. forever
Does anyone else see Jason looking like a T-Rex towards the end? Made me laugh so much!
I love his involvement in this song though, he is an amazing vocalist!
RIP Letlive.
I didn't realize that was Jason. now I know why I love this song so much.
So that's what the screaming dude looks like.
he used to litterally be the crazy guy with the beard hahaha
Check out his band: letlive.
belushy not anymore. Oops.
I love this album, but this little Jason moment is my favorite part.
Check out his new bands Fever333 or Pressure cracks
Anyone notice when Soupy does the part in between Jason's part it looks like a rap video xD
an amazing video for just a meh song when i first listened to it. :).
Fav song off the album
The video is meh but the song is incredible, probably the wonder years best
Craig zombar you are a fool
Catch me crying.
Caught you!!!!!!!!
Now kiss
what an awesome suprise
THIS IS FUCKING GOLD.
is there a cure for catching too many feels because i can't stop crying o dear gawd i can't wait to see them
Awesome video! Can't wait to see you guys again on the 19th!
holy shit 💚
I miss Jason's beard far more than Soupy's
That verse good God do you understand he's talking about the black struggle 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🔥🔥🔥🔥 . This song/ album is a masterpiece
Love these guys and this album
can not wait see you in dublin
br som dahora!!
This is so perfect❤
So glad this exists!
Beautiful.
I was happy before I watched this…ugh an their album is called No closer to heaven..seriously. Such beautiful sadness
Why do you say that?
you all must be "new" fans of Jason because he's only been rocking that beard for 3 years . He has been with Letlive for 10+ years.
can't wait to see them in 2 weeks!
best song off the new album in my opinion.
This song makes me cry
God damn!
i'm sick af and this is the best thing i can hear to get better. I love this so much 😍😍
Great! Now I want to see a letlive. and The Wonder Years tour.
it was amazing
pure. fucking. gold. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
My favorite song off of the record
I love these guys. The video was okay. They should do a video for 'I Didn't Like Who I Was' . Also the video just seemed like a generic punky music video. I loke the more artistic ones.
Oh and Jason is fucking wild!
YES!!!!!!!!!
