Lyrics
On the lonely end of history / swingin’ and swayin’ to the murder mystery / rhyme and reason fled the crime scene / of new penthouses next to tents in the streets / oh, how do I steer my early 30’s / before I shipwreck before im 40 / oh, ain’t it a shame what we choose to ignore / what kind of monsters did our parents vote for / lately I feel like i’m in puppet vichy, france tryin’ to teach the devil how to dance / to these sing-alongs of siren songs / to ooh’s to ahh’s to big applause / with all of my anger I scream and shout / america, I love you but you’re freaking me out / driving through the bible belt / billboards claiming how jesus felt / oh, how’d his words confuse themselves? / With cranks for christians in powerful positions / i’ve always felt like all their pomp and circumstance is just cover for the devil to dance / america, you’re freaking me out / with all my anger I shout / can’t you recognize truth from clever lies?

New Album 'Hello Exile' Available October 4. Pre-Order here: themenzingers.ffm.to/helloexile
You guys gonna try and polarize your audience with politics? Not smart. Not smart at all.
@@Donnyf3841 That's punk rock buddy.
@@josephmccredie7997 ThAts PuNk rOcK BuDdY. You’re an idiot. It’s soooo punk rock to say what mainstream media is telling you to say. What a moron.
@@Donnyf3841 I dunno, buddy. I came here to confirm that this band was as terrible and shitty as I thought it was, and it is. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if they were awesome people. I can't understand a single fucking word he's singing, but America kinda fucking sucks right now (if you haven't been living under a rock.) Light an american flag on fire and shove it up your ass if you're gonna be a right wing fascist trying to silence dissent.
Listen to "You're Wrong" by NOFX. (also NOFX's new song fish in a gun barrel is pretty good.)
MistaMahoney 😂 People like you are the reason why Trump will be re-elected! Oh man I cannot wait to see you nerds cry again!
On the lonely end of history
Swingin' and swayin' to the murder mystery
Rhyme and reason fled the crime scene
Of new penthouses next to tents in the streets
Oh, how do I steer my early 30's
Before I shipwreck, before im 40
Oh, ain't it a shame what we choose to ignore
What kind of monsters did our parents vote for?
Lately I feel like I'm in puppet Vichy France
Tryin' to teach the devil how to dance
To these sing-alongs of siren songs
To ooh's to ahh's
To big applause
With all of my anger I scream and shout
America, I love you but you're freaking me out
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
Driving through the Bible Belt
Billboards claiming how Jesus felt
Oh, how'd his words confuse themselves?
With cranks for christians in powerful positions
I've always felt like all their pomp and circumstance
Is just cover for the devil to dance
To these sing-alongs of siren songs
To ooh's to ahh's
To big applause
With all of my anger I scream and shout
America, I love you but you're freaking me out
America, you're freaking me out
With all my anger I shout
Can't you recognize truth from clever lies?
To these sing-alongs of siren songs
To ooh's to ahh's
To big applause
With all of my anger I scream and shout
America, I love you but you're freaking me out
To these sing-alongs of siren songs
To ooh's to ahh's
To big applause
With all of my anger I scream and shout
America, I love you but you're freaking me out

Respectfully for anyone and everyone else here’s the lyrics with (hopefully with The Menzingers acceptance) you’re welcome 💖
You're a real hero, even all this time later. Thank you.
These guys are new to me, but I'm going to get real familiar with them after this song.
@@RevShifty you're welcome ❤️
Always a good day when you wake up to new Menzingers!
Very correct
@@pjslon2218 but it is good so there's not a problem
Over the years I never paid much attention to this band. I knew they existed and heard a couple of their tracks, but I honestly really never listened. This album changed all that and now I'm kicking myself in the ass. Their whole catalog is amazing. Huge fan now.
Same here, and I'm a couple of years behind you. Strangers Forever makes me cry every time I hear it. I didn't expect to be gut-punched by a band like this, but his lyrics are exceptional.
wholeheartedly agree
"oh, how do I steer my early 30’s / before I shipwreck before im 40"
OMG, that hits me hard because that's exactly how I feel right now. Nobody knows how to articulate and sum up lost loves and an existential crisis like The Menzingers
Matt Crash I’ve been aging with these guys, every lyric was hit home since A Lesson Of The Abuse information technology, they never disappoint
Berzerker God have you ever had bbq ribs ?
Yep. I love these guys... and I have already 'shipwrecked' it seems :D Saw them again last weekend. Last show of tour in Australia.
"Lost loves and existential crisis" that sums up my life :|
That I don't Wanna Be An Asshole Anymore crossover tho
Riiiiiiight?
I was thinking the same thing 🖤
I’m glad he survived being hit by that car
Songs how I found the band! RUclips reccomend done well
This video made me cry. The song coupled with its video is an absolute fucking masterpiece. Great job
yeah me too. very real.
it got me choked up.
This song keeps getting more and more relevant
Damn this song and video really turned into something I wasn’t expecting. Powerful stuff.
That alien had a more exciting time on Earth than me so far
Then start living life friend... We ain't got that much time, so make it a fucking good time!
Well get out an live it up. We all gonna die anyway.
"Billboards claiming how Jesus felt"
That experience is actually really typical of someone who really wants to get to know America with an open mind. Like, just get on the road
Me to , just sad.
Keeping punk alive with a message.
what a great song to catch the climate. these dudes REFUSE to disappoint
I was pretty disappointed ngl
Dean Desoto I was too
Dean Desoto Thanks captain buzzkill
I was literally JUST thinking earlier today "When am I going to hear my next favorite song for the very first time?" and then I get on RUclips and it turns out it's today.
Reminds of Back in the USA by Green Day, just the vibe of where we are today in our country. And the title of this song is how I felt when I watched the Green Day video. As well as anything I see in the news. Cheers!
Even more relevant as time goes on...
I'm not one to pick up hitchhikers but I would stop for an alien in a tommy bahama tshirt
Yea think of Paul

"America, love ya' but your're freaking me out" is a very to the point description of my feelings as a European. Especially in the last few years.
As an American, I agree 100%. The last few years have been a living nightmare.
@Hitler.was.right ! shame on you, your ideas and your username are terrible.
@Hitler.was.right ! What? The electoral college legit makes your country less democratic. Everyone's vote should be worth just as much as everyone else, that is just not the case in america, and therefor less democratic. Not to mention the massive amount of money that is flowing in and basically buying senators/congress people to benefit companies against the will of the people. But again, its just stupid to sit here and argue about basic facts. Go check some democracy index studies and you will find that most western European countries are more democratic than america. If you deny this, you've proven yourself very ignorant dude....
Lol with a username like that you're just demanding to be taken seriously eh?
This band is so fucking underrated.
The priest looking at the Boy's Life centerfold... Well done gentlemen!
They have such a unique vibe. Amazing band, I wish to watch them live one day
they're touring now bud
@@PowerBottom3000 I live in Greece i don't think they're gonna be here but i will see if they will play somewhere near. Thanks!!
They are definitely worth it if they're even relatively close to you. They put on one amazing show and thats coming from someone who when I saw them had NO CLUE how amazing they truly are
Hello Exile is one of the greatest albums I have ever heard, I put up with Fables of the Reconstruction. Sound, lyrics, and the band's presence can be felt!
When your video is the perfect visual representation of your killer song, so much love for the menzingers
So glad I got to be a part of this project (white tank top, getting deported at the very end)! Thanks for having me be a part of such an important project! Amazing song!
america for real you are freaking me out
definitely ready for the new album
Arent we all?
"Ain't it a shame what we choose to ignore?
What kind of monsters did our parents vote for?"
Damn I felt that 👌
Word.
Bush obama trump...theyre all shit
@thestackedhouse Where in this thread did anyone express support for Hillary Clinton? Stop the unwarranted whataboutism -- unless this is a roundabout argument for Bernie? Because I support it. o7
Love how you’re using your platform! Dope new song
Brilliant stuff. Zeitgeist and all that. Delivers a beaut one two
1. perfect message, when your fave bands feel like you do - there's a tingle
2. the realisation this record is on it's way to my house - sweet extreme
Really felt his heartbreak when watching tv. Well done.
This... is powerful and beautiful and I'm really glad you made this... wow.
yeah, because attacking conservative views in 2019 is so powerful and brave.
Ar†ax the fact that you felt attacked by this shows just how un-American your views are.
Ar†ax You're offended by a pop punk song pointing out the bullshit in our country?
Anna hasn’t even got off my replay list yet and this drops. Mezingers you just keep giving
These guys tells a story through their music and videos. They're like the Stephen King of Punk Rock.
@@iwillsurvivethehighfivecau7504 I just think they were trying something a little different with this one. I didn't fully understand the song until I watched the video. They tie in together nicely.
Love it. Absolutely love it like always! Menzingers delivers when we need them the most!
as i watch nothing happen over Jan 6th and it seems like everyone is running out the clock or burning everything for money, this song is one of a handful that keep me sane in my fight against reality gaslighting me into thinking all this is ok
What do you want to happen over 1/6?
A year later and still not much has happened.
extremely powerful song and video, love the sound, love all of it
I’ve always been a fan of Epitaph but now that I’m 30 it seems like this song really hits home !
10/10. Im a new fan that has had a great time enjoying the back catalog and new stuff. Im just glad i got on the ride before it stopped. Thanks.
It's the end of may 2020, I keep finding a new season to play this song every month (besides it being fucking great)
Ohhh, the alien is a metaphor, because he is alienated.... daaaaaaaaaaaamn.
srsly though I do love this song and video
This song makes me happy. Things are weird right now in the real world but seeing Jason Voorhees from "I don't want to be an asshole anymore" cameo in this gives me hope.
This guy needs to be dancing on stage for the new tour PLEASE
Just saw these guys in concert! They have a hell of a stage presence!
I saw them in Madrid. [I'm (originally) American and (later naturalized) Spanish and went to school Philly and group up a punk kid (Social D, Descendents, Suicide Machines, etc.), so the Menzingers are such a great fit as a band for me.] And this song, man, it really hits that nostalgic part of my heart and the horror of seeing my country be ripped up by a wannabe tinpot authoritarian whose daughter I graduated with (Penn 2004) as well as from the judge overseeing one of his Federal cases (Michigan 2007). America, you're freaking me out.
Great song can’t wait for the record. These guys are on fire
myghadd thank you! just the thing I need and want! right now!
Awesome! See you guys in Manchester UK next year!
No idea why this came in my feed but I like it
Connor Cochrum Same
Glad to have y'all aboard.
Now go listen to everything.
Just wait till you see em live. It'll blow you away.
Worth listening to their older music tbh. On The Impossible Past and Chamberlain Waits wipe the fucking floor with this and the last album.
Praise Zorlak!
Love it. Great song.
These guys just officially grew on me.
Same... (My country) I love you but you're freaking me out, been there, done that. Here a Mexican follower, you've been here on my best and my worst times, and I know The Menzingers will still here on my future best and worsts.🖖
sign of the times . . . so glad i just found the menzingers a couple weeks ago!
I love this man.
This song is what I needed.
About fucking time... we need more songs like this...
Saw them last night. Super awesome live band.
I love this so much.
Beautiful song!
Still one of the best music videos ever all love
Astonishing! This could go onto become one of their big classics
This was awesome. Great song, great video. Reflects the times perfectly. Bravo.
Someone call Tom Delonge!
Lmao. The best comment.
He just came out with a new song today
@@michaelll what a coincidence :p
nah it's a music vid to an already released single but yea... I agree.... would be cool for a Tom Delonge feature hahaha
Dude he's in the video at 2:17!
I can not like this enough!!! Such a powerful message and video. Punk Rock is alive and well!
Awesome....can‘t wait for the new record!
"New penthouses next to tents in the streets."... Definitely writing about Philadelphia in that line, other places in America aswell. Expensive house with homeless people right up the street from each other. Obesity and starving people live amongst each other. Only in AMERICA.
Just perfect!!!
America, still love ya, but you’re still freaking me out.
how can a band be so good?
They never miss with a music video 👌
I really feel that
Anyone else listening to this again in 2020? America is definitely freaking me out.
What a tune.
Perfection.
That was an incredibly well done and super fun music video (especially considering the message/theme of the video). Loved it!
Love this song
Thanks for creating the song with all my alien sightings this is right up my alley 👽✌🏼💚
What a good morning song to starting day
NEW MUSIC YES
Genius message from vide well done
Bro this band, The Gaslight Anthem, and Against Me have literally been playing like a drug for the past several weeks and I wouldn't change that for a second.
Heard this song yesterday on a Punk Hotlist radio, and really liked it. Searched it out today, and damn that video hits hard. It invokes much more emotion than just the song, but they work so well together. Thanks for this. I loved it.
Incredible song 👌
god i love this band
Rocking tune👍💜
This was released on my birthday and I'm seeing it now. See you in Australia!!! Bring an umbrella
Yup this about sums it up.
The title of the song is spot on!
Awesome!!👌
Thank you The Menzingers for being you
Love Menzingers.
This band is great!, Met and loved! continue! 🇧🇷
Best post-punk band I've heard in a while
The best music video I've ever seen. It felt like a good movie.
I didn't know The Menzingers but I love this song also. Nice works guys!
check out their other stuff too! just found them about 2 months ago. midwestern states, don't wanna be an asshole anymore, tellin lies, good things.
Their music video for "After the Party" is probably the most emotive music video I've ever seen. Kyle Thrash is a genius.
Ughh this is amazing!!
wow that video hits home
Beautiful cool 😍🤩
this has surprisingly realistic effects and all for a simple music video
This is the song of this year so far
James Taggart Think you might need to expand your music palette a bit buddy. So much better shit this year. This is shaping up to be their first underwhelming album tbh
This is hilarious, beautiful, and deep. Love the jam too, hoping to catch them in SF soon
I like it!
This is how I feel... All the time
Awesome!
Wowzers
