Used, The - El-Oh-Vee-Ee Lyrics
Stuff your pockets stuff your mouth
Much more than feeding
Your bloated god your bank account
Your empathy's fleeting
Now that you own the cure, you bought the truth, still you want more
This type of believing
Hold on wait. We have had all we can take
You can keep the money
'Cause all we need is El-Oh-Vee-Ee, love
El-Oh-Vee-Ee, love
El-Oh-Vee-Ee, El-Oh-Vee-Ee, love
You pushed the point to no return
Take more and repeat it
We've got all we needed
Before you got too far
We realized
Just who you are
Down on your knees you bleed it out
This type of believing
Hold on wait. We have had all we can take
You can keep the money
El-Oh-Vee-Ee, love
El-Oh-Vee-Ee, El-Oh-Vee-Ee, love
You've got your mansions.
You've got your minions.
Protected privilege.
But we've got love.
You've got your black gold.
You've got your pipeline.
Capitalism.
But we've got love.
You've got religion.
Control the herds.
You've got your slave trade of prostitution.
You've got your green god.
But we got love.
Yes we got love [x4]
Hold on wait. We have had all we can take
You can keep the money
'Cause all we need is El-Oh-Vee-Ee, love
El-Oh-Vee-Ee, love
El-Oh-Vee-Ee, El-Oh-Vee-Ee, love
Yes we got love...

Used, The El-Oh-Vee-Ee Comments

While I personally don't agree with this band's political views, I still fucking LOVE this album, and I LOVE this band.
can't figure out if this is hardcore or pop 😂
The Used is still the shit!!!
Catching up on backlogged "The Used" records has not been a pleasant experience.
Nothing like the first album
Coming here because these bands are just not....nope. This song is life
A fine lady once said this sounds like a day to remember. Never face palmed harder in my 19 years of life lol
There's anyone who reminds to Letlive (Le prolongue) in 2:03?, btw, good album, I like it.
the best fuckin music!
this album is even more relevant now why president dick fuck trump and all the shit going on this past month.
All of there songs in this album are about what is happening in the world and there trying to tell us!!!!!
the used, are the better
I looooooooove this song.
FUCK U THIS ALBUM IS FUCKING AMAZING
The message in this song is beautiful. The Used are fucking awesome.
I would personally say that this is my favorite album by them. Lyrically quite impressive along with the singing and just sound wise, awesome. Although most people think the 1st is the best (it is good no doubt). I just love this one that much more, even with the experimenting sound.
This is one of my favorite songs off the album because it just feels current and relevant. The whole sound and vibe it gives off and the way Bert sings the chorus just makes me want to live for right now.
Always a fresh sound. Never get tired of listening to you guys. I have been listening since I was in high school. I first heard of yall in about 2004/2005. Fell in love and haven't quit listening since. Keep up the awesome work!!!! (And PLEASE come to NC!!! I would really love to see yall in concert!)
I el-oh-vee-ee love this song.
bert, can I get a date? ;)
Agreed. I love The Used so much too. Growing up, I've listened to them from the very start, and they have a huge place in my heart believe it or not. I'll listen to them no matter what kind of music they make. Just like Ronnie Radke, I'll always be there.
The difference is that The Used are and have always been brilliant and highly talented musicians with profound, resonant songwriting whereas Ronnie Radke is very mediocre and has descended to the point of being an utter hack. Seriously, compare a modern classic song like "I Come Alive" with drivel like "Alone".
Okay? That's your opinion. That wasn't the point I was making. The point I was making was that I've listened to both since they started, and they've made such an impact in my life that regardless of how people think of their music, I'll still love them both. I respect your opinion. It's pretty easy to understand why people don't like Ronnie.. he's an asshole, and I know that lol. But I do like him, and his music, and his story.
@Daniel Lockaby Part of it is that he's an asshole, part of it is that he actually wrote "All I do is win: Charlie Sheen!"
cheap shot ALONE was probably the worst song he wrote try to compare Champion with Come Undone
This is probably one of their worst lyrics, which is a shame because the song would be good.
I love when a band can go a different route. It keeps it interesting and I think shows their versatility and talent. I get bored with someone sounding the saaame for years. I'm sure the next album will be a different direction too. I've liked pretty much everything they've come out with though. Great band.

Marina Diamandis sings the title in her song E.V.O.L.
In my personal opinion, all of this new stuff from the Used is pretty good indeed. However - for me, their best album by far was their first album. Maybe its nostalgia because I heard it growing up in high school, but I can still listen to it these days and still love ever minute of it!
I'm not much of a fan anymore, maybe it will grow on me idk...
True fans of a band love the bands music no matter what good for them if they want to expand their horizons it shows growth.
Anybody who complains about their new album is an idiot. This album is so conscious and selfless. It is probably the best album they have ever made, and that's coming from a hardcore The Used fan since almost day 1. They actually have a purpose with this album, and anyone who has a problem with them using their music to achieve their goals, well then you're not really a fan then.
@Lauren Taylor Ok, you have to admit Ocean in the sky was pretty rough, it did have some good songs but for the most part
@ThePootie64 eh it was so so. Artwork was my least favorite.
I think people just don't like it when artists get political. Whatever the artist's stance in the political world is always going to look/be wrong in another person's perspective. It's all about perception and how other artists perceive you. Good song. Political lyrics. I don't like/agree with a lot of artists and what they have to say. The song is catchy is so is the whole album.
Fourth of all.. The Used started out as a loveable hardcore rock band and most people are not really into this new shit they are doing not many people are really liking that
love..el oh vee ee.:)
Plain.n.simple time goes foward..this is used.kicking ass your ass
damn ! everything is fuckin' free!. I LOVE THE USED SO MUCH
I don't see why people are complaining about you guys experimenting with music.. I think you guys are doing a great job and I really like your new songs. You guys have always been our inspiration for this band of mine. Even though we are a crappy ass band. That doesn't mean that we don't like good music. Because you guys "The Used" ArE AWESOME! We love you guys. Keep up the awesome work and we'll keep supporting your music. (Buying albums, watching your videos, etc.)
I like how political and worldly this has all gotten. I don't give two shits it's not what it was... for the simple fact that my experience with this band will be shared with my kid one day. :) smile
:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD The Used OVERALL AMAZING. <3 Favorite band forever. I appreciate all of their music.
Cause all we need is El-Oh-Vee-Ee, love <33333
Fuck off anyone telling them not to change their music. This last album isn't them "experimenting" this one is about changing and/or questioning out society and it's beliefs. They want to make a difference like I see many of the artists evolving to our revolutionary ideology. Because the system doesn't work for us. And you're part of it if you say "they have to go back to their roots" because they have and it's their HUMAN roots.
Well they are experimenting with their sound is what others mean but yes I believe your correct
Like Trevor say I rather see some new stock like maybe memories or in love and dead
I know you guys are experimenting, but could we please have an album where you guys don't experiment and just go back to your roots? I agree that experimentation is good and improves the band, but we've currently gotten three "experimental" albums: Vulnerable, The Ocean and the Sky, and now Imaginary Enemy. I would love an album that went back to the In Love and Death sound or Lies for the Liars sound.
Trevor Philips why? You could just go listen to that record if you want that sound. Good bands don't backtrack
Trevor Philips thr point of music is freedom of expression. They are unique and are always finding new ways to spread themselves. I love it
Hell, I think they should call it quits already.
They still rock.
Your gona wait forever
Just look at bmth!
This and "Cry" are the best two songs off the album, for sure!!
+rrpjdisc Revolution was kickass!
I can't tell if I love this song or not and it's intensely infuriating
I don't see him puking his guts out to any songs on this entire album. what's a used concert without bert puking!?
Haha! No kidding!!
He's become more mentally stable and healthy and no longer has the need to puke onstage. You should be happy for him. This is also the reason why he no longer screams and swears in songs.
Wow.. this really blows. they went slow and depressing, like wtf. this isn't the used, the used is hard punkrock. not this goth bullshit sounding like like bitches. how can you go from big full of sharp objects, to this. smh
If only they could sound live this way, than they would be one of the best bands ever.
they still sound amazing live so this is kind of pointless
They are amazing live! Not only that but their concerts are fun as fuck. You just gotta enjoy yourself and realize maybe he had a bad night when you saw them? Ive seen them 4 times and theres only been one time that ive seen that he was having a bad night, and that was toward the end of the tour, i imagine his voice would be tired. Hes only human :)
great album, however, i prefer previous albums...
The used experiment so well, they do it in a way where its still their sound and dont go overboard with it
This is why they are my favorite band. They always sound different, but in a great way. It's hard for them to fuck up. They could do a damn bluegrass album and I bet it would sound amazing lmfao
I completely agree, they're my favorite band and they have been for 15+ years.
very good The Used =)
GENIUS!!!!!
To poppy and corny for me. I love the first two songs on this record so far
I didn't notice Chadam on the album art at first lmao
So is the image from the first album (to the right of the heart) and I am pretty sure the heart hanging by the noose is supposed to be a throw back to the "In Love and Death" album
Great song
meeeeeh.... I Don't know, i have to give a few more listens
listening to imaginary enemy and yeah... this is my least favourite so far. i'm only three songs in though aha. revolution was fucking awesome and cry has been one of my favourites since the video was released
this band>e v e r y t h i n g
this album sounds so fucking good hell yeah the used
"Cause all we need is El-Oh-Vee-Ee, love.."
These guys are always awesome
love ... i dont even know who i am i dont no if i have a reason for live ...
You guys do everything extremely well. I am hearing things I need thought I would on a Used record
digging the new album. i've already picked some favorites and this is one of them.
I hate how much I love this haha. So good!
Love this so much.
Way too poppy... I dig it a lot, tho... haha
Agreed. Too poppy, but Bert mentioned in an interview they experimented with "pop" on this album, so I can forgive it. Still a tight song!
Absolutely incredible. I've been with them from the start, and will stay till the end. Keep up the amazing work!
Same here. I love them <3
You guys NEVER fail to amaze me. This is beautiful !
i love the used so much
No you El-Oh-Vee-Ee them so much
This is so fucking good oh my god
holy shit
