Rosenstock, Jeff - USA Lyrics
Dumbfounded, downtrodden and dejected
Crestfallen, grief-stricken and exhausted
Trapped in my room while the house was burnin'
To the motherfuckin' ground
I fought the law, but the law was cheating
Screaming for help, but somebody keeps on
Telling me to settle down
Please be honest, tell me was it you?
Clerk at the midwestern service station
Striped uniform, giggling at catch phrases
Look in her eyes we're up to something
Oh, it doesn't matter now
Man in a crossover with his family
Sketched in decals on the window smiling
Driving parallel in the lane beside me
Oh, it doesn't matter now
But please be honest
Tell me was it you?
I won't hate you
I just need to know
Please be honest
Tell me was it you?
At first he thought it was the undertow
But he was dragged to the bottom of the lake
By a couple of kids saying, "it's a joke"
Though he didn't know any of their names
As they held him down, the crowd got loud
And they cheered when they thought he had escaped
When the anchor needed something for the 10 o'clock
What could they say?
Oh what else could they say?
They said
"Well, you promised us the stars
And now we're tired and bored."
(Et tu, USA
Et tu, et tu, USA)

YOUR THE BEST UNCLE JEFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am Jeff's niece and he is the best in the world like if you agree his is sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cant believe theres only 60 comments on this
ughhhh it's soooo goood. I love this dude sooo much! Keep up the amazing music, JEff ROSENSTOCK.
Live show in Charlotte the other week blew my tits into orbit. You guys delivered way past my overblown expectations.
Real shit the song should’ve just ended at the 6 minute mark
thats when i click off lol
@Aleph Null But the chant at the end is like my favorite part. The riff kinda smacks too
This is so good!!!!
Dj from more skids sent me here. I dig
Reizinho❤😍
The first half is amazing, but the second is pretty cringy
Bad opinion alert
yeah i kinda agree
@Aleph Null electric chair
garbage
World Goldman wow you're retarded
Ur that
Deffo a fantastic band of 90's alternative. "Not your kind of people" is my favorite song by them because it's almost as good as this one💛
This would be so sick in a skate video part
everything about this is so good
So good! So dense!
This really gives me some 90s emo vibes. I love it
the bridge/outro bit is weezerish
@frarfarf never say that again
@Rene Itah why, they stink now but early weezer is awesome, Jeff has covered it before
@frarfarf i hate them, theyve always just been an outlet for RC to vent about not getting laid
@Rene Itah I'm more about the music than the lyrics... first song off the 2nd album is all about how much ass he gets BTW
Dumbfounded, downtrodden and dejected
Crestfallen, grief-stricken and exhausted
Trapped in my room while the house was burnin’
To the motherfuckin’ ground
I saw the sign but it was misleading
I fought the law, but the law was cheating
Screaming for help, but somebody keeps on
Telling me to settle down
Please be honest
Tell me was it you?

I WON'T HATE YOU
tired and bored tired and bored tired and bored
Punk never dies...... sugooii tunes
Not much of a punk fan, but yeah this is cool.
Rethony Grettano sent me.
I feel like i hate the vocals but the music is much better than what would normally be behind the "punk" vocals and it veers instead into post punk/new wave territory where it makes the vocals almost deliberately bad and in the context of the music and lyrics makes everything come together in a really compelling way. You have my ear mr.rosenstock
Jeff's my favorite artist and I introduced him to a friend. Said friend described it as "Some greasy punk rolling around in a dumpster with a busted guitar"
I agreed completely and he now loves Jeff too. The beauty of flaw.
Today is always a good day with new Jeff Rosenstock
what a tune
damn!!!!
ohhhh its like a shitty version of say anything
they have similarities, i was being surreptitious. i do listen to a lot of musics all the time but if i listened to this band or say anything i wouldn't compare them you know how people compare shit that sounds similar to them its subjective yo and this was my first impression i am sure some people saw that comment and knew not to look to into it. im always one to say each band sounds unique in some way
i like this thread. This was my first impression, as well. and by no means is that a bad thing.
I've been listening to Jeff and Bomb the Music Industry for years now, love the guy and the band to death and wish nothing but the best for them.
Also, "a shitty version of Say Anything" is mostly accurate, it's part of their appeal more than much else.
o00thunderhawk00o
I’m a huge Say Anything fan, and also a huge fan of Jeff and BTMI (not a big ASOB fan though).
Jeff doesn’t sound like Say Anything, and even if he did it’s not like Max Bemis invented this style of music.
o00thunderhawk00o max is Jewish, idk about anybody else in SA, but what does that have to do with anything??
what an amazing way to start 2018
Holy crap the Gimmick! sample in the middle of the song, though.
Holy shit I knew it sounded familiar. That's awesome.
my dumbass can't hear it and i've listened to the gimmick soundtrack a LOT. mind pointing it out?
It's from the track "Sophia" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDzXxdxWFl8 . Only caught it because I'd been mainlining NES chiptunes over Christmas break.
yeah i wasnt able to pin it down myself lmao. thanks!
What a song!
Definitely my favourite song off the album
Robann Kerr Yr throat is the best
Yr throat is my fave too but USA and 9/10 are close
Def grew on me the more I heard it. All this useless energy is a banger toooo
But please be honest
Tell me was it you?
I won’t hate you
I just need to know
Please be honest
Tell me was it you?
Legendary
