American Cliché

Omg LoL, Funny Ass Lyrics. Yeah Well Tight Song!

I disagree that the above lyrics are actually what is being sung, regardless of the source. Here is what I hear when I listen acutely. My feeble interpretation is at the bottom.

last seat on the bus who you gonna trust which one do you follow last seat on the bus don't make such a fuss this much should make hallow because every time you make yourself the reason is every time you make yourself beaten yeah

this is all American cliché American, American get all of us this is all American cliché American, American get all of us

first seat of the bus who you gonna trust which one do you may follow first seat own the bus (first seat own the bus) don't make such a fuss (do make such a fuss) which one do you make hollow now every time you make yourself our reason is every time you make your friend the beaten yeah

this is all American cliché American, American get all of us this is all American cliché American, American get on the bus

you want a way to be the same you want a way to be the same you want a way to be the same how now?

should god go go go go yeah yeah

go go go go go go go go go go go go

Perhaps first is a message to Semites, in that they would like to be at peace, but are bound by the teachings of their religions, and fail, enslaved to war with each themselves (Jews and Arabs are both semitic by definition).

Perhaps second is a message to Americans, and how they play this conflict, as it is indeed their money that contributes to it, knowingly or not.

It is a 'cliché', as the world is good and sick of this foolishness, and it is 'American' because, again, the people of the U.S.A. fund this conflict to the tune of $94,156,200,000 (from 1949 on and including 2005 proposal).

Underneath, however, the Semites want to let the old hatreds die, and treat each other as equals, but to do so they may need to abandon their respective religions.

you're wrong, you're lyrics are wrong, and I think you are too. This song is about African American civil rights movements.

Am I the ONLY one who can actually hear this song?

I swear it's:

this is our (possible an) American cliché american, american YOU'RE ONE OF US

The site lyrics are clearly wrong--sure it might sound better when it's drawn out saying "this is a american cliche" but it'd have to be 'an', and can vaguely sound like 'our.'

Get all of us? Get on the bus? The first truthfully makes no sense (however; this song is kinda crazy to begin with) and the second could be referring to the bus theme - but if anyone listened to the song they would clearly know that's not right.

I'm also assuming you all look too deep into songs. American cliche? Prep? Goth? Emo? My little sister would know the meaning of this song before it began by looking at the title.

Wow, I really needed to get that out. All the lyrics on the net for this song blow.

'Get on the bus' was the most common line I found. This song reminds me of the African American civil rights movements, as halberd25 said. The whole 'bus' thing would probably relate to rosa parks. The lyrics are wrong, however, when it says

"This is a american cliche" 'A' should indeed be 'OUR'.

In "Get onto the bus" It's just "Get on the bus".

It could be either a shallow or deep interpretation.

the song is about how commmon place school violence has become

Filter's best song, for me anyway. Yeah, it's about school violence and how common it is

Funny... it sounds like he's singing clearly, but still we can't agree on the lyrics (I don't feel sure either).

I'd say 1) that whole first description seems way too deep... and 2) just because a bus is mentioned doesn't mean it's about Rosa Parks. Jesus, I fail to see almost any other reference to civil rights...

Overall, I totally think the song is as the title puts it-- everyone tries to fit in to American Cliches, and it ends up devaluing ourselves and our relationships.

When you're getting on the last seat in the bus, the place you fit into is already determined by everyone else, so you're kind of forced to fit in the way they want you to. It's talking about people being pressured to work themselves into the cliches that are already set up.

When you're the first seat on the bus, you're the one in control of everyone else, referring to trendsetters, cool people, media, idk. However, the same results end up happening, in that someone feels hollow and someone gets beaten, w/e, just this time it's not you.

American cliche = predetermined social roles. The people forced to follow are in the end no better or worse than the supposed leaders, because everyone contributes to the problem.
