    Best goddamn car seat headrest song and easily one of the best songs of all time. The lyrics, the chords, that damn voice! Ugh, what a great song

      Not best. That's discounting so much.

    You can drive across the whole thing
    in four days if you really wanted
    leaving custom thank you notes
    in all the houses you ever haunted
    in this whole solar system
    we've only met one type of life
    it's the living kind of life
    and it's not one I recognize
    America
    I said "excuse me" to the ocean
    because I thought I had got in its way
    at first I didn't think it heard me
    but then I saw it wave
    you can spend every living moment thinking
    how can I get out alive?
    but is it really then, can you really call it
    hey man, just shut up and drive
    I thought we'd be on the road all night when that ice storm hit in Texas
    and when we pulled into the gas station it was like a frozen oasis
    oh, sweet mama, does that neon sign shine for me?
    Is there a street where my name glows all through the night?
    and I've never read (America)
    no I've never been (America)
    I just never went (America)
    I have never seen (America)
    all my fantasies are faking orgasms
    they're only in it for the money I made up for them
    I trade in ideas, opinion and artistry
    and my face is on every dollar
    this is heaven but heaven is here
    this is heaven but heaven is hard
    because your lover is listening to music you don't know
    and you're tangled up in the headphone wires
    you know our problems, they don't end
    just because we get boy/girlfriends
    is this your salvation plan?
    there's only one type of love
    it's the loving kind of love
    but when you're mad at me it's the end of times
    and I'm mad at you all the other times
    have I ever really been in love?
    I guess I've never really been in love
    have I ever really
    not in the way I'm thinking
    real life's a mess
    but at least you're not paying rent
    you've been making it, maybe even breaking even
    you oughta be content
    it doesn't make sense
    you're still sitting on the fence
    when the yard is yours
    and it was money well spent
    and I've never read
    no, I've never been
    I just never went
    I have never seen
    America
    America
    democracy
    biographies
    civil rights! basically
    bright lights! living in the city
    second prize in a beauty pageant
    200 dollars, this is life, this is your life!
    America!
    this is heaven
    this is the place

    The trio was the best line up

    • @nikiyerbamate
      @nikiyerbamate 3 года назад +23

      i think the newer lineup with ethan on guitar and seth on bass makes live tracks a lot fuller. a lot of the time during this kexp performance in particular on songs like the ending of dramamine moments that are meant to hit harder dont really because will has to play the melody and the only rhythm guitar is the bass

      @jertspleen1464 3 года назад +18

      Honestly I think their best lineup was when they had the naked giants join in, it made their sound so much more full and will could focus on singing rather than guitar
