1975, The - I Like America & America Likes Me Lyrics






I'm scared of dying
Is that on fire?
Am I a liar? Ooh
(No gun required)
I'm scared of dying
No gun required, ooh
My skin is fire, it's so desired

Is that designer?
Is that on fire?
Am I a liar?
Oh, will this help me lay down?
My skin is fire, it's so desired!
No gun required!
Oh, will this help me lay down?
I'm scared of dying, it's fine
Oh, what's a fiver?
Being young in the city
Belief and saying something

Would you please listen!
Would you please listen!
We can see it's missing
When you bleed say so we know
Being young in the city
Belief and saying something

Would you please listen!
Would you please listen!
We can see it's missing
When you bleed say so, we know

Council, being listed
Man I kinda miss it, hey!
I'm a designer, unite pariahs
Am I a liar?
Oh, will this help me lay down?
Kids don't want rifles, they want Supreme
No gun required!
Oh, will this help me lay down?
We're scared of dying, it's fine
What's a fiver?
Being young in the city
Belief and saying something

Would you please listen?
Would you please listen?
We can see it's missing
When you bleed say so, we know
Being young in the city
Belief and saying something

Gone off designer
It's all on fire
And we're all liars
So won't you help me lay down
My skin is fire, it's so desired
No gun required
Oh, won't you help me lay down?

I'm scared of dying
It's fine
Oh, what's a fiver?
Being young in in the city
Belief, and saying something
And saying something
And saying something

  8. P.... s....

    I wish there was a vertical version of this video so I could promote it on my stories

  9. S.... L....

    is tgus joseph beuys

  10. a.... ....

    such a shitty and cringey attempt at seeming board culture.

  11. n.... ....

    w e ' r e n o t a p o p b a n d

  12. r.... n....

    everything about this is perfect

  13. L.... P....

    This song came out exactly a year ago and I only discovered it now? What? It's so beautiful

  14. �.... ....

    This movie make me feel as if I saw in my brain.

  15. M.... S....

    What the inside of my brain looks like...

  16. b.... ....

    I remember when this video came today

  17. R.... S....

    I imagine this is what the inside of Matty's brain looks like.

  18. l.... ....

    When matty say “kids don’t want rifles they want supreme” i’ll shamefully admit i felt that

  19. J.... D....

    This song makes me so emotional.

  20. G.... ....

    This song sounds like a panic attack

  24. S.... m....

    Entering 2020 with this banger 🤟🏾👀🤘🏾

  25. b.... h....

    Its actually amazing that a song designed to be a parody and designed to be crap can still be liked so much. If its the one thing the 1975 apparently can't do is be crap lol

  26. d.... c....

    the 1975 made the song future been dying to make his entire career haha

  27. b.... g....

    Love this song and video is pretty cool. Lyrics are Incredibly powerful. I feel as though at times no one is listening, I can relate to it all.

  28. A.... H....

    I can’t believe there isn’t a music video for this song! It’s my favourite from the album!

  29. m.... ....

    maybe the auto tune is a metaphor cause it literslly makes the song sound fucked up and chaotic but it still sounds good but just ?? messed up? like america

  30. S.... J....

    WI had 9 school incidents in 4 days. 1 shooting, 1 stabbing, 7 threats. Would u please listen? Somethings missing. If u bleed, say so we know. Say something. We're scared of u dying!

  31. P.... ....

    The graphics are so """bad""" that you would actually have to know what you're doing to make them.

    it's like digital brutalism or something

  32. h.... ....

    PewDiePie after 2017:

    "what's a fiver?"

  33. h.... ....

    Me: I hate autotune


    Also me after listening to this masterpiece: 2:01

  34. h.... ....

    When you're not an american

    "No gun required"

  35. C.... ....

    It sounds soooo great on a concert! orgasm lol

  36. G.... ....

    Guess it’s a good thing your opinions haven’t mattered since 1776!! More brits trying to tell us what to think. We love our guns cause we love our freedom that you don’t have over there. We love our guns for their defensive use which save 3mil lives each year. How’s the knife crime over there in England huh? And other blunt objects. Why do most mass shooting happen in gun free zones? Why is it a fact that the more guns present the less crime? Yeah we’ll keep them 1975 cute little song though. Go back to how you used to be and not a sjw. Still not a bad band though, their new album is catchy I’ll give them that.

  37. S.... e....

    Fucking love this song

  38. A.... M....

    they are trying to say “ hell “ ?

  39. H.... ....

    I'm generally not a fan of excessive autotune, but The 1975 actually make it work and fit in their music. Pretty cool

  40. E.... g....

    people need learn not to judge but love everyone

  41. �.... ....

    0:46 my waifu ㅎ

  42. C.... ....

    such ferocity with autotune
    I'm vibrating with vitality ❤

  43. N.... J....

    Anybody After Frail State of Mind ?

  44. a.... ....

    is that the highest level of aesthetic?

  45. N.... W....

    I love this song. one of my top 5 by them

  46. n.... n....

    the 1975 is a genius

  47. M.... M....

    I prefer his normal/live voice but it's fiiinnneEeEeE

  48. S.... M....

    Fits the mood .... brilliant 1975 This is a amazing track !

  49. a.... p....

    WHATS   A  FIVER ?  LOL

  50. I.... 3....

    hey does anyone know the graphic design used in the vid? thanks

  51. J.... A....

    The fact the song was named after Joseph Bueys 😭👌🏻

  52. R.... P....

    tiene la media voz y la opaca entre tanto auto tune:(

  53. D.... H....

    Hello, Bon Iver lyric video.

  54. N.... R....

    I got some Bon Iver vibes

  55. K.... ....

    way too high for this

  56. P.... J....

    Can someone explain the meaning of this beautiful song

  57. Y.... O....

    2:27 wtf i always thought it was "don't have to say that"

  58. D.... R....

    never ever seen music video as impressive as this

  59. A.... P....

    i think this song has a deeper meaning and understanding.

    the lyrics represents the conversations that happens on the internet. that's why matty seems to have different flows. and the visuals represents the internet is everything and everywhere.

    creative direction behind this masterpiece has an enormous potential.

  60. �.... ....

    0:00 *How much money does Emily have left after she buys 4 apples for 25p?*
    3:25 Me: £19.75

  61. S.... D....

    Every band and singer goes through the phase where they sing over a trap beat

  62. t.... ....

    I've listened to this song a thousand times and I still can't get the lyrics right.

  63. J.... D....

    this is beautiful

  64. V.... ....

    It's lovely how this song means literally and metaphorically in each lines.

  65. C.... K....

    Came here from Charli XCX's playlist

  66. R.... L....

    We’ve all gotta go sometime

  67. A.... M....

    This is cancer

  68. A.... T....

    This is a work of art & of poetry.

  69. d.... ....

  79. A.... F....

    It's been almost a month since I've seen them live and I'm still not over it. Best concert experience ever, the energy, the passion is unreal. Especially during this song, words can't explain what I felt.

  80. L.... M....
