Young The Giant - Amerika Lyrics






And so I've arrived
With gold in my eyes
Are you paying attention?

I was searching for something
As I watched you run
I was sad when you said that you never really wanted some
Were you looking for someone?
As I watched you go
I am mad because I don't know what you used me for
I've been looking for so long
In Amerika
Throw my hands in the air!

Flash faded
Say you care but you don't
You know I hate it!
It's a rich kid game didn't grow up with a throne
It's all it really is

I was searching for something
As I watched you run
I was sad when you said that you never really wanted some
Were you looking for someone?
As I watched you go
I am mad because I don't know what you used me for
Always talkin' 'bout one day
In Amerika
It's the same story
You want glory son
I've been looking for so long
But you cut me out!
Throw my hands in the air cause I...

Your palace
All the friends you own
So jealous
Felt that rich kid pain what it is to be alone
It's all it really is

I was searching for something
As I watched you run
I was sad when you said that you never really wanted some
Were you looking for someone?
As I watched you go
I am mad because I don't know what you used me for
Always talking about one day in Amerika
It's the same story
You want glory son
In Amerika! In Amerika! In Amerika!

    Best band out right now

  11. I.... ....

    Payam is my friend. He is our friend. .

  12. S.... T....

    True measure of a band is getting them out of the studio and seeing if they can still sound just as good. Bands like Young the Giant, Spoon, The Weeks (list goes on and on) barely get play on the radio, but you see them in person and realize how truly amazing they are. These are the ones that are true testaments to the art-form, not that commercial nonsense they try to cram down our throats.

  13. M.... ....

    First time listen..first time I’ve liked a band in years.This is the real stuff❤️

  14. P.... P....

    Is that the fucking Slenderman symbol at the end?

  15. m.... s....

    he said share your stories, stop writing bullshit lmao

  16. B.... C....

    This group as a whole is amazing. Everyone adds true value

  17. A.... D....

    I too was really in awe of the backdrop and landscape. You can catch a glimpse of "... GRAND MUSTANGS" on the side of the bleachers. With a quick Google search I think this was filmed at West Grand High School in Kremmling, CO.

  18. D.... M....

    I’m so mad that none of these songs are available to buy!

  19. E.... R....

    Are we just not gonna talk about the UFO above Sameer’s head at 2:05....?

  22. J.... T....

    This song is so beautiful.... I lose it every time I see them perform it... I love this band so dearly.

  23. M.... ....

  24. r.... e....

    Wow all of this bands song is heavenly..rock..melancholy damn i never loved any band like this so damn good ❤🙏❤

  25. W.... H....

    Voting for Donald Trump doesnt mean you hate immigrants. Im in love with and plan to marry a mexican immimgrant. She and her family came here within the confines of the law, learned the english language and assimilated to American culture. Thats not too much to ask for.

  26. I.... ....

    I see you Payam!

  27. z.... ....

    Where did they film this? The landscape is captivating

  28. J.... s....

  82. E.... H....

    Their music has so many layers and is so unique. I don't get why they're not more people's favs.

  83. K.... S....

    Flames!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  84. A.... P....

    Just realized why they chose to play this at a football field. I'm guessing it reflects a small way this song interprets the American Dream.

  85. D.... H....

    Dont be mad but....

    Who just wants to stand in front of them and yell.

    IM NOT WORTHY... IM NOT WORTHY

  88. K.... l....

    Greatest country ever and faith restored after the election.....love your music - voice - musicality - artistry....don't blame the country - life is a hard game to play

  89. B.... ....

    that's the sh**

  90. E.... L....

    Bringing me back to now, Ty Young the Giant.

  91. Y.... B....

    Why is one of them just sitting there with a guitar doing nothing

  92. J.... V....

    When I first heard this band in my early 20s, I thought Sameers voice was special.... I also knew they weren't gonna make it mainstream, it takes a certain type of individual to truly appreciate this music... in a world where lil yachtys and lil uzi's are what "lit"... YTG's place is here. Deep in YouTube

  93. �.... �....

    Lucas da Fresno? Caralho igualzinho bicho!!!
    Música linda da porra! Encantada com esse hino!

  94. A.... H....

    too much political input in the description. But despite that the song is beautiful.

    A.... H....

    please excuse my illiteracy
