the axis of awesome – we are so young lyrics

Loading...

[benny]
i was born 16 years ago
so i know what it means to feel pain
[jordan]
and i’ve lived a life long and rich enough
to have felt the slings and arrows of oppression

[benny]
military drums kick in at once
because they sound triumphant and grand
[jordan]
big outdoor reverb to make it sound like we’re in a field
like we’re some kind of marching band

[benny]
images of sporting victory
confused backdrop glamourizing war
[jordan]
but the old cool kind of war, not the awful 20th century kind
like the crusades
[benny]
or the american civil war
[jordan]
or a naval battle
[lee]
or some roman shit

[chorus: all]
we are so young, you are so inspired
we’ve come so far, we won’t be held back
you are so inspired, we are so young
the world is ours, we have life experience

[benny]
drums that you’d describe as tribal
they’re so low that we don’t need a b-ssist
[jordan]
but if you stop to think about how we’re using them
you might say it’s borderline racist

[benny]
20 layers of my voice plus a choir
because choirs sound epic and majestic
[jordan]
stereo panning at 100%
because the wider it is, the bigger it feels

[benny]
majesty
[jordan]
harmony
[lee]
victory
[benny]
angels
[jordan]
panoramic
[lee]
skydiving
[benny]
chocolate
[jordan]
volcanos
[lee]
swordfish
[benny]
quinoa salad
[jordan]
instagram
[lee]
joan of arc
[benny]
cruciverbalist
[jordan]
the olympics
[lee]
y ahora en español

[chorus: all]
we are so young, you are so inspired
we know nothing and yet you’re inspired
you are so inspired, we are so young
we’re not naive, we know what “naive” means

[jordan]
and i’m singing in a patter cause we’re gonna drop the music
cause i’ve always found that setting things syllabically is memorable and wonderful that i can use so many words to say nothing at all

[benny]
high note

[chorus: all]
we are so young, you are so inspired
we’ve made so much money, you’re eating it up
you are so inspired, we are so young
we’re just like you, but also we’re better
