The Killing of Our Youth

from Listen, That's Disco! by American Lies

  • Buy the Full Digital Album

  • Buy the record on vinyl! (12" w/ screen printed B-side)
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    On íMuy Autentico Records!, Way Out West Recs, and Mouse House Records, this EP is on one-sided 12" vinyl and has a screen-printed B-side. The first press is limited to just 300 records (there are very few left). All vinyl comes with a free download code, but since you're here you probably already downloaded it. I suppose it's more about principle at this point, right? All the records are screen-printed by hand, using home-mixed ink, so there may be a slight variation in ink color between records. They won't look crappy though, I promise.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Listen, That's Disco! via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

My life exists in little more than pages
of chords and poetry that I wrote back when
we used to lie awake with our youth in hand.
Understand? I don't think you do.
Your youth is dead when you consent to growing old
and leave your childhood as a product
to be bought and sold.
Coming up we nurtured on rudiments.
Those days back in the orchard,
it was time well-spent.
With a clean slate and an open heart before;
even if I wished I could, I couldn't anymore.
Understand? I don't think you do.
Your youth is dead when you consent to growing old
and leave your childhood as a product
to be bought and sold.
You can tell us that our love will drag us down
into the ashes and underground.
Bring your axe to my funeral because I'll be gone,
and right now, gone is where I want to be.
We are the sad, sad brothers in history.
You've got to believe me that right now,
gone is where I want to be.
