bloc party'nin amerikan kültürü karşıtı şarkısı. bir başyapıt. sikko sikko müzik yapan amerikalıların buna rağmen nasıl da piyasayı ellerinde tuttuklarına karşı göstermiş oldukları bir tepki olduğuna inanıyorum. fakat için de savaş karşıtı, bush karşıtı, fastfood karşıtı, klasik amerikan ırkçılığı karşıtı mesajlar bile var. amerikalılara özenen ingilizlere ayar amacıyla yazılmış olabileceği gibi amerikalı bir kıza da yazılmış olduğu söylenir. neyse neticede bu şarkıda amerika her türlü itin götüne sokulmaktadır. kele okereke büyük adamdır. indie ise indie. punk ise punk. amerikalılara pabuç bırakmaz. sözleri:
north to south
empty
running on
bravado
as if to say, as if to say
as if to say, he doesn't like chocolate
he's born a liar, he'll die a liar
some things will never be different
are you hoping for a miracle?
are you hoping for a miracle?
are you hoping for a miracle?
are you hoping for a miracle?
three out of five, three out of five (ıt's not enough)
six out of ten, better luck next time
just like his dad, just like his dad (the same mistakes)
some things will never be different
hungry and dumb, hungry and dumb (so wait in line)
queuing up for some more junk food
ıt's not my fault, it's not my fault (just this once)
they're getting so much younger
why can't you be, more european?
bastard child of guilt and shame
bury your head, in the sand
ı'm thinking six, six, six
ı'm thinking six
are you hoping for a miracle?
are you hoping for a miracle?
are you hoping for a miracle?
are you hoping for a miracle?
are you hoping for a miracle? (ıt's not enough, it's not enough)
are you hoping for a miracle? (ıt's not enough, it's not enough)
are you hoping for a miracle? (ıt's not enough, it's not enough)
are you hoping for a miracle? (ıt's not enough, it's not enough)
