MGMT - Weekend Wars Lyrics






Evil S I S to find a shore
A beast that doesn't quiver anymore
And we could crush some plants to paint my walls
And I won't try to fight in the weekend wars
Was I? I was too lazy to bathe
Or paint or write or try to make a change
Now I can shoot a gun to kill my lunch
And I don't have to love or think too much

Instant battle plans written on the sidewalk
Mental mystics in a twisted metal car
Tried to amplify the sound of light and love

Christ is cursed of fathers and martyrs
Might even take a knife to split a hair
Or even scare the children off my lawn
Giving us time to make the makeshift bombs
Every mess invested was a score
We couldn't use computers anymore
It's difficult to win unless you're bored
And you might have to plan for the weekend wars

Try to break my heart I'll drive to Arizona
It might take a 100 years to grow an arm
I'll sit and listen to the sound of sand and cold
Twisted diamond heart, I'm the weekend warrior
My predictions are the only things I have
I can amplify the sound and light and love

I'm a curse and I'm a sound
When I open up my mouth
There's a reason I don't win
I don't know how to begin

    Evil S.I.S. to find a shore
    A beast that doesn't quiver anymore
    And we could crush some plants to paint my walls
    And I won't try to fight in the weekend wars
    Was I? I was too lazy to bathe
    Or paint or write or try to make a change
    Now I can shoot a gun to kill my lunch
    And I don't have to love or think too much

    Instant battle plans written on the sidewalk
    Mental mystics in a twisted metal car
    Tried to amplify the sound of light and love

    Christ is cursed of fathers and martyrs
    Might even take a knife to split a hair
    Or even scare the children off my lawn
    Giving us time to make the makeshift bombs
    Every mess invested was a score
    We couldn't use computers anymore
    But it's difficult to win unless you're bored
    And you might have to plan for the weekend wars

    Try to break my heart, I'll drive to Arizona
    It might take a hundred years to grow an arm
    I'll sit and listen to the sound of sand and cold
    Twisted diamond heart, I'm the weekend warrior
    My predictions are the only things I have
    I can amplify the sound of light and love

    I'm a curse and I'm a sound
    When I open up my mouth
    There's a reason I don't win
    I don't know how to begin
    I'm a curse and I'm a sound
    When I open up my mouth
    There's a reason I don't win
    I don't know how to begin
    I'm a curse and I'm a sound
    When I open up my mouth
    There's a reason I don't win
    I don't know how to begin
    I'm a curse and I'm a sound
    When I open up my mouth

    e.... ....

  16. U.... ....

    @Flor Mariana They are saying they miss MGMT's old music compared to the newer music

    @dogman That sucks though cause there new music is beautiful and they are so proud of it.

    U.... ....

    They're new music is just as good friend.

  17. E.... R....

    Voice like Mick Jagger

  18. B.... M....

    Seeing them in Cleveland, first time!

  19. R.... M....

    Why does this remind me of Led Zeppelin

  20. S.... D....

    I fucking love this, i remember this when i was 4 (I was born in 2005)

  21. M.... ....

    Is this copyright?

  22. C.... ....

    2:23 my fav part

  23. B.... C....

    This should be the theme for Ark survival

  24. B.... M....

    First time seeing them in Cleveland. Woo

  25. d.... r....

    1:20 just woke me up.

  26. J.... ....

    Saw them in 2012 will forever be the best concert ive ever been too (:

  27. h.... ....

    Beautiful song.

  28. M.... ....

    Why does this song remind me of Red Dead? 🤔

  29. J.... T....

    Possibly their best song

    J.... T....

    Your mistaken, it's Little Dark Age

    J.... T....

    @Salomon Perez LTD is not but Siberian Breaks, Congratulations, When You Die, and Kids etc. come to mind

    J.... T....

    @dogman of, you're right. They've made a lot of good songs!

  30. A.... T....

    This song makes me feel...
    *Nostalgic*

  31. V.... ....

    Just goes to show that not all modern music is bad

    V.... ....

    This came out in 2007. Most bad modem music comes from 2012 and on.

    V.... ....

    @Zachary Bechtel This was the time of lil wayne and soulja boy, no specific time period really has bad music generally. MGMT is still making good music go check it out.

    V.... ....

    @Pineapple Juice I already have. Congratulations is more of this album, which is good enough for me. I wasn't really that big of a fan of their self titled album, but Little Dark Age is fantastic! I remember seeing a comment saying MGMT is like the Bee Gees if they were a modern band.
    As a side note, I used to love Lil Wayne years ago. I still dunno why.

  32. B.... ....

    Kinda reminds me of cage the elephant or the black keys. Even some modest mouse influences

  33. A.... ....

    Cogratulatons. Amazing song!

  34. H.... R....

    Yes. Fucking speak to me

  35. P.... C....

    Sound like bowie

    P.... C....

    You're right

  36. M.... F....

    S.... P....

  38. A.... S....

    Best song ever

  39. L.... H....

    De excelencia .!

  40. D.... T....

    Instant battle plans written on the sidewalk... Lyrics like this is why i love this band , not to mention everything else they do absolutely PERFECT.

  41. B.... m....

    I love the arrpegio so much but owww my left ear....

  42. L.... G....

    What's with all the dislikes?

    L.... G....

    LCV Goodmanson for real though

    L.... G....

    probably some weekend warriors

    L.... G....

    LCV Goodmanson it’s a lil similar to some of David Bowie’s earlier music.

    L.... G....

    happens to like every song uploaded this way for some reason

  43. P.... H....

    Why does this sound so familiar??

    P.... H....

    Lol that’s how I felt when this album dropped in high school

    P.... H....

    Preston Hoch Reminds me of Rocket Man by Elton John

    P.... H....

    To be honest this reminds me of thr type of music tge Beatles made

    P.... H....

    Middle 60s Rolling Stones.

    P.... H....

    Preston Hoch arcade fire

  44. j.... l....

    So good!!

  45. C.... P....
