can you please try to explain the political context of the song/lyrics. Not only this line. I obvisously understand words, but i'm not sure i understand the context well, not being an english speaking speaker. Thks guys.
More accurate lyrics: Birds fly around while the dividends pay Birds fly around while I'm picking up change Crapping out tokens and living in a haze Build lights in the dungeons and plumbing in the grave Something was in concert, some song was played But nothing was delivered and a franchise was made And what if I told you, what if I said They built it themselves and it feels so good Well, I'll believe it when you take me in Floated around downtown, I floated around Spain I was like a dentist, rooting for pain Cover me in blankets, cover me in paint I'll dance like a child again, I'll die like a marine No not that refrain again I'm stuck in the same dream What a blessing What a blessing, what an imitation What a blessing, what an imitation I can't be there when you take me in Here comes the saint in the red again We dipped em in paint, (?time to scrub them?) I was disgraced in America Yeah, I was disgraced in America And what if I told you, what if I said I built it myself and it feels so good Well I won't be here when you take me in Birds fly around while the dividends pay and Birds fly around while I'm picking up change And I'm feeling hazy Demarcation, demarcation See those lines in the light Demarcation wears me thin Demarcation does me in Demarcation's one note plays Rings I've made won't hold me Paper thin Demarcation, demarcation See those lies in the light
Ought are the first more underground band I saw live, they were releasing Sun's Coming Up that night. I felt awkward and didn't know what to do with myself, but fuck it was an amazing experience. My friend and me bought their two albums right there, and got the setlist, which is till hung on my wall. Gonna see them again for the first time since, I can't possibly be more hyped, these guys are amazing.
oooo I love this so much, both singles/vids have been incredible and so different from their old stuff! I fell in love with them when they released their debut and it doesn't happen often that I'm totally on board with a bands style changing this much but they're preserving everything that made them great while reinventing themselves.. incredible stuff

5 years already...
Tim's vocals are sounding so so good these days
TakeALookAtBanner he's finally got rid of his mark e smith impression, his own voice is very good
"I was like a dentist rooting for pain" is an instant classic line. Amazing song.
Jack G first time i listened to this that line stood out to me. Awesome song
can you please try to explain the political context of the song/lyrics. Not only this line.
I obvisously understand words, but i'm not sure i understand the context well, not being an english speaking speaker. Thks guys.
More accurate lyrics:
Birds fly around while the dividends pay
Birds fly around while I'm picking up change
Crapping out tokens and living in a haze
Build lights in the dungeons and plumbing in the grave
Something was in concert, some song was played
But nothing was delivered and a franchise was made
And what if I told you, what if I said
They built it themselves and it feels so good
Well, I'll believe it when you take me in
Floated around downtown, I floated around Spain
I was like a dentist, rooting for pain
Cover me in blankets, cover me in paint
I'll dance like a child again, I'll die like a marine
No not that refrain again
I'm stuck in the same dream
What a blessing
What a blessing, what an imitation
What a blessing, what an imitation
I can't be there when you take me in
Here comes the saint in the red again
We dipped em in paint, (?time to scrub them?)
I was disgraced in America
Yeah, I was disgraced in America
And what if I told you, what if I said
I built it myself and it feels so good
Well I won't be here when you take me in
Birds fly around while the dividends pay and
Birds fly around while I'm picking up change
And I'm feeling hazy
Demarcation, demarcation
See those lines in the light
Demarcation wears me thin
Demarcation does me in
Demarcation's one note plays
Rings I've made won't hold me
Paper thin
Demarcation, demarcation
See those lies in the light
Ought are the first more underground band I saw live, they were releasing Sun's Coming Up that night. I felt awkward and didn't know what to do with myself, but fuck it was an amazing experience. My friend and me bought their two albums right there, and got the setlist, which is till hung on my wall. Gonna see them again for the first time since, I can't possibly be more hyped, these guys are amazing.
The chorus evokes some sort of emotion I can’t place my finger on
killer tune -- great performance , one of the best bands around!
one of the best bands in the world right now
oooo I love this so much, both singles/vids have been incredible and so different from their old stuff! I fell in love with them when they released their debut and it doesn't happen often that I'm totally on board with a bands style changing this much but they're preserving everything that made them great while reinventing themselves.. incredible stuff
Ought to play this again

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH YOU DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND.
I'M GONNA GO CRY NOW
Yeah, definitely will be one of the best album this year.
Birds fly around
While the dividends pay
Birds fly around
While I'm picking up change
Crapping out tokens
And live in a haze
Build lights in the dungeons
And plumbing in the grave
Something was in concert
Some song was played
But nothing was delivered
And a franchise was made
And what if I told you
What if I said
They built it themselves
And it feels so good
Well I'll believe it
When you take me in
Floated around downtown
I floated around Spain
I was like a dentist
Rooting for pain
Cover me in blankets
Cover me in paint
I'll dance like a child again
I'll die like a marine
No not that refrain again
I'm stuck in the same dream
What a blessing
What a blessing
What an imitation
What a blessing
What an imitation
I can't be there
When you take me in
Here comes the saint
In the red again
A dictum in paint
Til I scrub them
I was disgraced in America
Yeah, I was disgraced in America
And what if I told you
What if I said
I build to myself
And it feels so good
Well I won't be here
When you take me in
In
Birds fly around
While the dividends pay
Birds fly around
While i'm picking up change
And i'm feeling
Handsy
Demarcation
Demarcation
See those lines interrupt
Oooh
Demarcation
Wears me thin
Demarcation
Does me in
Oooh oh oh
Oooh oh oh
Demarcation's
One note plays
Rings I've made
Won't hold me
Paper thin
Demarcation
Demarcation
See those lines interrupt
Oooh oh oh
Oooh oh oh
Aaah ah
Aaah ah
Aaah ah
Aaah ah
Reminds me The Clean or some other Flying Nun band. Good times.

Love the song and the video! Very well done.

Good job, Ought!
A departure from the last two records. It doesn't even sound like the same band. I don't know what they were thinking on this one...
