Let the record play,
Let the record play,
Let the record play.

The way that you dance,
The way that you move,
The way that you stare at me across the room,
You carry Dion bags,
And you got your Chanel,
You wear L Louis Vuitton, ASG, and YSL,
Now I got what you need,
I got DCMA,
I got brass knuckles hanging,
From my neck and my chain,
I got a model 26,
But she stays in her place,
I got a curve shirt neatly,
Tucked inside in my waist.

[Chorus:]
And the record keeps playing,
The same old song,
The hipster keeps mugging on me all night long,
They say "Aha, ahha",
Keep your hands off my girl,
Keep your hands off my girl,
They say "Aha, ahha",
But the record keeps playing,
The same old song,
They say "Aha, ahha",
Keep your hands off my girl,
Keep your hands off my girl.

Now she sweating my friends,
And my hurricane shoes,
She likes the records I spin,
But out important tattoos,
But she can't say "what's up",
So what does she do,
She just stays posted up,
The other side of the room,
I got AMC tattooed in my hand,
I got black wall street on a black bandana.

[Chorus:]
And the record keeps playing,
The same old song,
The hipster keeps mugging on me all night long,
They say "Aha, ahha",
Keep your hands off my girl,
Keep your hands off my girl,
They say "Aha, ahha",
But the record keeps playing,
The same old song,
They say "Aha, ahha",
Keep your hands off my girl,
Keep your hands off my girl.

She, she, she don't wanna talk about it,
He, he, he wants to fight about,
Me, me, I don't wanna fight about it,
I just wanna be about it,
I'm just trying to stay about it,
Step out the wagon,
You know the boy starts to hate,
The girl that came with him,
They like that's not the boy she dates,
They get the fighting and swearing,
And now the boyfriend is staring,
The disco ball on the ceiling,
Looks like the chain that I'm wearing,
But the music keeps playing,
I got brass knuckles hanging,
From my neck and my chain,
I got brass knuckles hanging,
From my neck and my chain.

And the record keeps playing,
The same old song,
The hipster keeps mugging on me all night long,
They say "Aha, ahha",
Keep your hands off my girl,
Keep your hands off my girl,
And the record keeps playing,
The same old song,
The hipster keeps mugging on me all night long,
They say "Aha, ahha",
Keep your hands off my girl,
Keep your hands off my girl.

You carry Dion bags,
And you got your Chanel,
You wear Louis Vuitton, ASG, and YSL
Now I got what you need,
I got DCMA,
I got brass knuckles hanging,
From my neck and my chain,
I got brass knuckles hanging,
From my neck and my chain.

    hey guys....

    don't bash the guys cuz their growin up.

    i miss the young & hopeless days too but it would get boring if they wrote the same stuff over and over wouldn't it? after chronicles bein so depressing i'm glad they came out with a fun song like this.

    their tryin to branch out and do sumthin different

    isnt that wut its all about? shakin things up and doing your own thing without giving a fuck about what everyone else things?

    i respect 'em for it

    Haha I totally feel like this is about Misshapes or some other club full of hipsters that Joel and Benji might have been to... Alright. Their first record holds a really sentimental spot in my heart. It came out at just the right time in my life for it to really mean something to me. But they were teenagers when they made it! I can't stand when people accuse them of selling out or saying it sucks that they sound different, of course they sound different they've done a lot of growing up since that first album. People are allowed to do that. I give them credit for trying new things and always trying out a different sound. I think this song is a lot of fun. Just take it for what it is, a fun song. They're never gonna sound like their first album again. It was a totally different time and place.

    I hated this song the first time I heard it, but now I think it's sort of catchy. The lyrics are less than impressive. =\ The "Ahhh haaa's" are super annoying.

    And I think it's "Dior bags," not Dion bags.

    it is "Dior bags" not "Dion bags", and also im pretty sure it's "HG" not "ASG"

    anyways, though, i like this song! it was cool to finally here a new GC song. its really catchy, its definitely different from there other stuff but its cool anyway =)

    Too empty compared to their old lyrics. Cant tell you how much I miss the old times. All the way back.

    Never the same - but it's catchy. Makes me wanna dance.

    But I must say ... It has been all downhill from the beginning. I MISS THE OLD DAYS ...

    I just don't think they're "keeping it real" anymore. I hate to say it, but they've changed .. The bad way.

    A bit Justin Timberlake-ish somewhere.

    come on guys this song is supposed to be a fun song, compared to their last record i'm glad they came up with something like this. it isn't serious. it's a joke. it's intended to goof off too. i'm glad that the guys are happy enough to write something like this.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
