Menzingers, The - Hello Exile Lyrics

Wowzers

Adidas “Kobe” detected.

Homosezuañity is illegal in most islamic countries but somehow America freaks you out more. LOL

I can think of about 15 things off the top of my head in America that scares me more than that

I missed them in Belfast last year and still cant forget it! Rage balls

Is that Keith Buckley

America is freaking me out, YES, the Trumpians are freaking me out, how dumb can someone be to vote for him?

Oh thank Christ, I saw the lights towards then end and thought he was gonna get shot in the back.

damnnn 2:32 until 2:48 is pure perfection

Es el marcianito 100% real y no fake

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 💖

lets save him from area 71

Beautiful song!

I love this man.

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.

Why did it take me so long to realize that the alien represented the "aliens" coming into the USA over the border...

A poster on a wall brought me here. Not disappointed.

THEY GET YOU, 151 OLD FARTS DISLIKES. I MEANT ALLIANS, THEY ARE COMING TO GET YOU AND YOUR DISLIKES.

Bands making real statements today should be respected much more

The Reverb and course on the vocals was a brave move they actually made it sound good put an original Twist on the album

I can dig it.

This band is so fucking underrated.

This band is great!, Met and loved! continue! 🇧🇷

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.

great but ruined by token actors .who HAVE TO BE IN IT

is that Erik from Commentiquette at 2:29?

Please come to New Zealand.

About fucking time... we need more songs like this...

nevermind the fact the media has been manipulative as fuck during Trumps presidency but lets still blame Trump instead of the news station that continue to promote fear mongering,...

Ill only be scared when democrats get control again in 2024.

"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.

@Jonathan Stotz in what way have the last few years been a nightmare? And dont ignore all the hysteria , rioting, and whining is a hundred percent the fault of the left not accepting the country elected Trump.

@Jonathan Stotz they should be concerned with the fact they themselves have no right to free speech. Can literally be arrested for what they say or write. Thier media can black out and make information and news illegal for them to share and be informed of. The UK voted democratically to leave the EU and were simply denied their will. Rioting in France is a regular occurrence. Terrorists attack someone nearly every week in the EU. And migrants are totally changing the face of European cities in places. Yeah.... Keep worrying about trump and the far right dumbfucks.

@Hitler.was.right ! The UK is indeed able to leave the EU at their will, we are just not happy with being taken advantage of. Don't gloss over Brexit with such an overgeneralisation like we're holding anyone hostage. And yes we had terrorist attacks but so does America and America also has a President willing to Risk world peace just to bust a move. And you got school shootings and just shootings in general, were people die you know, not only because of your guns but also because your mental health and general health system because it is fucked and broken.

So what the face of European cities have changed? Our retirement system benefit from new workers paying their taxes in Jobs that a lot of Europeans don't want to do anymore. Our demographic crisis has become less effectful through that. Thankfully. And at least we're not so heartless as to let people die and suffer outside our borders, if we are well capable enough to help a lot of them.

Also Trump wasn't the candidate with the most votes, Hillary was but because your election system is fucked up Trump won, thanks Gerrymandering!

Trump cancelled so many important contracts with other countries that we have a right to worry because it concerns us too.

@clara ao melody i cant help you if you see the European race becoming a minority in its own major cities as a good thing. Also our electoral system is not fucked up. Its set up so the states with the most population dont get to vote for the entire country and everyone living elsewhere.

Perfection.

I like the political statement with this song... ALOT.... short... sweet... and to the point. Keep up the good work guys

Was that Erik from internet comment etiquette?

The Alien came to Earth/America at a wrong time. Trump Era is equal to the Nazi era.

Ron Placone sent me.

Put the alien in Kobe Bryant adidas...NICE TOUCH

Nice catch!

This comment is kinda weird now.

thank you for letting me, be part of your project, love your vibe!!!

Is that norm MacDonald as the ice agent with the moustache?

God bless America, and god bless Trump. Only time we seem to get any good punk is when a republican is in the White House. Guess punk bands are to big of pussies to attach Obama for his shit tho. Hate to be called racists eh?

Is this the president of Brazil, Bolsonaro?

As far as I'm concerned, this is our new national anthem. Rise and remove your hats, people.

Cool, cool!!

I think I've found another band to obsess over

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.

Think you can replace "America" in this song with any other country of your choice.

That was an incredibly well done and super fun music video (especially considering the message/theme of the video). Loved it!

Me and my alien friend after i freed him on area 51

This is hilarious, beautiful, and deep. Love the jam too, hoping to catch them in SF soon

Looking for Maxine Waters telling people to harass conservatives.

Great fuckin tune

I’ve always been a fan of Epitaph but now that I’m 30 it seems like this song really hits home !

Ughh this is amazing!!

Guys, this video is brilliant perfection 😍👽🤘

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!

Don't want to hear your tired liberal politics guys. There's a reason you're career musicians and not physicists, computer scientists or economists.

Have never listened to any of their other music... LMFAO get out of here with that "punks not political" bullshit and go back to the boot buffet.

@Erik Woll Speak English, you yank fucktard.

Keeping punk alive with a message.

Fucken Ace

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.

You lefties should be proud ☺️ https://youtu.be/I0l5FOBc3qs

This video made me cry. The song coupled with its video is an absolute fucking masterpiece. Great job

America, both sides of you are freaking me out.

What a tune.

When you realize this was shot in Portland because you know that strip club. Hi Mary's! Shares a bathroom with a really solid Mexican food spot.

i'm high as shit and when i put together why the music video is an alien i found that clever as fuck

Britain I love you, but you're freaking me out.

Tom Delonge inside?)

The title of the song is spot on!

Man, the Menzingers. They're so good, the kind of band that makes you want to accost strangers in the street and make them listen to your headphones. Part of me wants to shout from the top of mountains about how good they are, and that they deserve it as they're great guys.
...but, another part of me just wants to hold them close and not let anyone know about them, keep them all for myself like fucking Gollum and his precious...
Keep it up you talented bastards.

#MAGA #TRUMP2020

Don't agree with the politics of the video but still love the song.

ayy lmao

Greg it’s ok, sometimes disciplining people is hard but it’s the right thing to do! My parents were South American immigrants who payed their dues and became citizens the correct way, this is not a country of free handouts. Make America Great Again 🇺🇸

I'm loving both of these songs but the reverb on the vocals...I'm not so sure I'm gonna get used to it. I know Greg said "“We wanted to make sure these stories didn’t get lost in the music, so we kept it to a lot of room sounds with the guitar and bass and drums” but I feel like the reverb is doing exactly what they were trying to avoid. I'm excited to hear these songs live and scream my lungs out but if I had a magic wand I'de get rid of the reverb before the full album comes out.

Exactly. Such a great and catchy song, but I'm not feeling the effects on the vocals. After watching the live versions though, this may be my fav song by them

Yeah, I'm really digging the song but the reverb pushes the vocals wayyy back in the mix, sometimes it even sounds weirdly out of phase. The singing is great but the vocal production confuses me.

American doesn’t want to be a asshole anymore.


Greatest crossover ever.

Hahahaha so cool!! Great song :)

This guy needs to be dancing on stage for the new tour PLEASE

Anybody reminded of the Beat Generation/ Kerouac's On The Road?

Are we going to ignore the fact, that the family photo at 2:27 is the family from Alf?

Haha good catch

1:22 who is that brunette angel? Gosh..

This song is what I needed.

So this is what happened to the superheaven alien

wow that video hits home

"Ain't it a shame what we choose to ignore?

What kind of monsters did our parents vote for?"

Damn I felt that 👌

Bush obama trump...theyre all shit

we should have voted for hilary clinton because she totally did not get over a billion dollars in donations from the same people you like to complain about.

@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

I’m tired of all the leftists agenda in music and movies, propaganda!

Wow, season one of Solar Opposites looks great!
(amazing song, by the way, really poignant, both in terms of the lyrics and the video)

Is that the internet comment etiquette guy?!?!?

The irony is that this accusation of the average American being intolerant and bigoted is, itself, intolerant and bigoted.

Anyone notice the Four Loko can between the two 'necks? Lmao so accurate

When your video is the perfect visual representation of your killer song, so much love for the menzingers

You guys are the ultimate pussies

OMG!! <3

I really want to know who the girl in the middle at 1:24 is

Can you stop putting out new songs? October is a lifetime away and patience is not my strong suit

You guys are one of my favorite bands, I've been listening to you for over 10 years now....and I'm just really struggling with the vocal mix on these new songs. Two very raw powerful vocalists getting drowned out by way to much reverb. Ugh....still a great song though.

I was thinking the same thing, vocals were a huge part of what made their older music so intense and it's kinda lost here.

This is how I feel... All the time

Arrested by officer Liev Schreiber, hehe

Nailed it

New Album 'Hello Exile' Available October 4. Pre-Order here: https://themenzingers.ffm.to/helloexile

@donny foster wtf ever, man, you're the one with the robber baron president, you dumb sack of shit.

@donny foster go fuck yourself donny boy.

Woof, this comment aged like milk in the sun. 😄 im🍑

I still have the drum stick your dimmer gave me years ago when you played in Bloomington Indiana c:

you guys are so punk rock!! i too totally agree with multinational companies that want "progress" open borders and a flood of cheap labor to keep the 99% from gaining any money. i also want the 99% disarmed so when the 1% does something so heinous the 99% can't do anything about it. thank you for being punk rock and totally against the establishment ;)
