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 cuz 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!

* I am mad because I don't know what you used me for The song speaks to a feeling of abandonment in a harsh foreign world (Amerika). The singer knows he was merely a pawn in someone else's game, but he's too naive to understand how he was even played. He was manipulated at a time and place where he truly needed companionship :(

Vanice Icarus same thing happened to me. I recorded Artists Den (PBS), just out of routine, and here was this group that I had never heard of. They were performing at... El Rey. That's all it took. I was strangely and obsessively hooked. I caught them in Atlanta a few weeks back (drove a few hundred miles for that). They were awesome.

First time I heard these guys was on the MTV acoustic set they played 6-7 years ago. I remember asking my wife to come and listen to the the amazingly crystal clear vocals (fast forward and no deterioration on the front). My wife's favorite band. Saw them live in CT a couple of years ago and have tickets to the D.C. show this coming November. Very good band indeed.

Thanks for hearing the same thing as I did! Ha ha. The video and song are both so moving and poignant. Gives me chills literally every time I hear / watch it.
