nuclearadio - the max levine ensemble lyrics

Loading...

pour your little heart out on a six string
and i’ll tell you how much it’s f-cking worth to me
come on, it’s plain to see that these chords come to easy
they’re as easy to repeat, a photocopied replication
another song for “our generation.”
an imitation of an imitation of an imitation…

my mom asked me “where’s the voice in this country
i said everybody’s got one, they’re just garbled and clumsy
reared up to spit back referential newspeak…
in a postmodern f-cking paradise

kc’s fear was her broken sprit. and that transmitter in her yard?
she said “it’s good for something, i know, but i don’t use it.”
and “the politics of broadcast?” she said
“come on! can’t you tell me what the use is?”
i said, the truth is, i do this, mostly out of boredom…

and on and on on on… i know you won’t request this song
but this one’s strictly for the good old boys in the back of the truck
singing “turn up the radio as long as they don’t sing about…”

the cracks in the mortar, they’re tearing up the borders
and they’re building us a brand new town
and i’ve seen it in the animals in kennels
they truly represent the alienation that goes all the way down
and then i hear about the “nuclearaniamercampaign,”
broadcasted vaguely from some p-ssing tv
“i’ll think this through more clearly”…

and the boys in the back sit and tune through all the static
and a voice fl!ckers over the air
and they don’t understand the “this is not enough,”
oh no they don’t pick up much past:
“turn the radio up, turn the radio up!”
when she says “this life is trash,” it’s not that she’s being dramatic
she’s just telling it straight up like it is
her voice fl!ckers and fades, ah nuclearadio…
