Local Natives - Fountain Of Youth Lyrics






I think we better listen to these kids
We can't keep pretending we know what we're doing
I can't keep pretending I'm afraid
If you'll sit and listen
I'll tell you a secret

We can do whatever we want
We can say whatever we mean

I have waited so long, Mrs. President
Matriarchs and Teddy Boys, play in houses on the lake
How can we quit drugs if you're gonna watch like that?
Give me five good reasons you trust us with our future

We can do whatever we want
We can say whatever we mean
And if we don't care
Then who cares?
We've been dreaming of you
Drinking from fountains of youth
And if we don't change
Then who will change?
We've been dreaming of you
Drinking from fountains of youth

I think we better listen to these kids
I can't keep pretending that I'm still asleep
I can't keep pretending I'm afraid
I was too stoned to call you but I thought that you'd say

We can do whatever we want
We can say whatever we mean
And if we don't care
Then who cares?
We've been dreaming of you
Drinking from fountains of youth
And if we don't change
Then who will change?
We've been dreaming of you
Drinking from fountains of youth

We can do whatever we want
We can say whatever we mean
We can do whatever we want
We can say whatever we mean

    N.... E....

    great comment, but i noticed a major flaw. i think you meant to say "women can be presidents too and a woman almost was one"! lmao

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

    The real world on MTV ending sequence of the last episode brought me here! And I feel alone.

  31. C.... J....

    Guess your dream of a Mrs. President has been shattered. Thank God!!! Hillary Clinton is an evil woman.

  32. K.... R....

    Ever wondered what goes into the making of the Glass Animals magic? Listen to Dave Bayley talk about 'How To Be A Human Being' https://open.spotify.com/episode/52WRYprqASPVURvNugjq72

    K.... R....

    wrong vid man but love the new glass animals album

  33. z.... ....

    Mrs. President?! HAHAHA

    Libtards hoping for Hil-Dog

    z.... ....

    Or just a female president someday..

    z.... ....

    zeacho been a fan of they're music for yrs.just now getting around to this album. Dissapointed to see them go political but they are from commiefornia after all : (

  34. A.... A....

    anyone else noticed the annoying little skip @ 0:01? i've been wondering if that's a mastering error or intended? idk it's just weird.

    A.... A....

    i do not know what it is though

  35. M.... m....

    guess not Mrs. president for now x3 jk

  36. J.... S....

    00:50 was a bold lyric that turned out to be false

    J.... S....

    Is Trump's presidency really as bad as you thought it would be though? Has the world ended like everyone said it would? Where is WW3?

  37. T.... ....

    does anyone like their NPR recording better?

  38. B.... S....

    l i s t e n

  39. A.... H....

    Such a liberal song

    A.... H....

    Well, yes that's the point

  40. M.... ....

    ..I'm sorry, I'm not done haha. As what would be considered a Liberal Millennial, I can just see slews of Liberal 20 something Millennials slowly nodding their heads, eyes closed, and raising their fists to this.

  41. M.... ....

    These lyrics are like an 18 year old just discovered American politics for the first time... so yeah, imo, this is pretty bad. Love all of their other work though.

    M.... ....

    MrLexanderluther1986 this is amazing. Idk what you're on 😂😂

    M.... ....

    lets not forget about the mrs. presidntttt

  42. J.... ....

    I really like the bass line

    @ColoredSpaces

  43. j.... e....

    madam president Jill Stein

    j.... e....

    SwagInMyCrocs fuck you

    j.... e....

    Jesse k would love if She was the 1st woman president . but I'm happy trump won over Hillary altough Jill Stein is the best

  44. j.... e....

    fuck hillary clinton #bernie2016

  45. L.... U....

    *Hey epileptics don't watch this video: it could cause seizures*

    L.... U....

    Lauren Umbreon I had one be has of this song wish the beginning would have said something

  46. P.... M....

    Great Song ❤

  47. M.... D....

    danke rebecca!

  48. 6.... ....

    This song always reminds me of Donald Trump. He does what he means; and means what he says.

    6.... ....

    they support Hillary. One of the lyrics contains "Mrs. President"
    I wouldn't let it get in the way of you enjoying the song though.

    6.... ....

    Lol. Aren't you adorable.

    6.... ....

    69bigalo69 It's about Bernie

  49. S.... ....

    catchy song, but poor
    and simple lyrics though

  50. T.... B....

    Too bad they wont get to see Mrs. President!! hahahahaha

  51. 4.... ....

    Yeah take it up the ass DNC and RNC! We can do it all!!

  52. L.... S....

    I'm saying it right now, Coachella 2017

  53. M.... K....

    Probably the most uninspired Local Natives song. Weird coming from a song that seems to aim to do the opposite, just too simple. The other two are great! Been waiting way too long for their new music!

    M.... K....

    very predictable song

  54. E.... O....

    I LOVE THIS SONG❤

  55. r.... s....

    I think the chorus has two meaning. It shows how we don't have to conform to anything yet the many options in life lead to anxiety. Therefore we look for guidance in a lot of things '...who cares, we've been dreaming of you'. You symbolizing guidance. This song shows freedom is a beautiful and horrifying thing.

  56. L.... A....

    Phoenix is better

    L.... A....

    American indie pych folk > French indie pop

  57. M.... R....

    This is your style guys. I'm sorry to say this, but the other new songs are not cool 😞

  58. Y.... R....

    what happened to the old local natives?? screw repetitive choruses. screw repetitive lyrics. the only reason people do repetitive lyrics in songs is for the radio hits. and that is not ok.

  59. i.... ....

    I love this band so much! You guys have changed my life!

  60. J.... E....

    ...pretty weak lyrics

  61. T.... Z....

    Great Song - With Words of Wisdom!
    Proverbs 5:15-23 Drink water from your own cistern, running water from your own well. Research the fountain of youth called (uropathy), Aka urine therapy also start drinking distilled water. There are 2 different kinds of minerals, inorganic positive electrical-charged rock minerals that causes many diseases & early death, then there's organic,
    negative, electrical-charged plant-life minerals that our bodies need. - Distilled water will only leach out positive-charged minerals. - Only plant-life can assimilate rock/dirt minerals, only plant-life.

    We are lied too about distilled water & told half truths.Rain water is distilled water but we can't drink it today, plant-life juices & urine is also organic, magnetically, negative-charged waters.

    Distilled water is 100% pure, clean, fluoride & chemical free H20 - 2/3 oxygen and 1/3 hydrogen - it's rocket fuel for the body!

    Don't forget your iodine with zinc & selenium & vitamin C if you don't what cancer.

    Our body can heal itself and regenerate correctly if given a chance, we have been lied too about everything from the so called "Healthcare & government systems

    Distilled water, the "lost' fountain of youth!
    RESEARCH DRINKING DISTILLED WATER & URINE THERAPY FOR THE SUPPRESSED TRUTHS.

    ~Peace out.

  62. N.... Z....

    ♡♡♡

  63. K.... S....

    This is why you are my favorite band

  64. r.... m....

    Guess they got bored...

  65. S.... S....

    How is their new stuff not blowing up??

  66. L.... L....

    I'm kinda confused how they left the Mrs. President lyrics part in the song, being how they acknowledged and supported Bernie...

    L.... L....

    Hedging their bets...? :P

    L.... L....

    Well, the song was written before the campaigning even began, and the line was more a statement on the advancements of feminism than anything. There was a lot of Hillary Clinton is "inevitable" talk back then, and who knew they were telling us, not suggesting it. They came to support Bernie Sanders and after his loss, decided to support the ones that don't trust us with our futur... I mean Hillary Clinton and the DNC.

    L.... L....

    They support Bernie by supporting Hillary.

    L.... L....

    I don't think it was a hit at current politics, but more of them saying that this generation is more progressive.

  67. C.... G....

    :3 cool

  68. K.... M....

    sounds fucking good

  69. K.... S....

    I don't think I've ever been so excited for an album in my entire life.

  70. N.... A....

  83. 2.... ....

    Freaking love Villainy and Past Lives but this one seemed quite bland to me, plus the lyrics weren't great. Still very excited to hear the LP
