This song proves Andrew Vanwyngarden and Ben Goldwasser are true modern-day hippies. This song is talking about the dramatic change in culture that is happening today with the youth. Since the war on peace in the 60's and 70's, kids and teens all over America are becoming more and more nonconforming to societies standards and are learning to make their own opinions and beliefs instead of following the traditional ways of life that have been occuring for hundreds of years. They are learning to keep an open mind about everything and are less trusting of the people who make the decisions for our country. Andrew and Ben take sides with today's youth and just want peace on earth. I think this song is just saying "The youth is smarter than you think, they are no longer brainwashed by what you have hoped for them to believe about right and wrong. The rebellion is coming quick, so will you join it? Todays youth will be filling the shoes of all the leaders and this country will soon see a huge change in culture."
I agree. This is an epic song. One of the best new songs i've heard in a while, it reminds me so much of The Beatles. The key change to begin the last chorus gives it so much power. It was about time there was a band like MGMT.

i totally agree with hippieeit and also agree that it is an EPIC song. modern day hippies is what i thought of too. kind of like lavender diamond except with a completely different sound. i hope they're right about the youth starting to change. are you starting to change? well, are you? together together...

I'm not sure though if they're being earnest or ironic. Adding "whatever" to the end of "love or light or heat" kind of made me think that they might be deriding hippies for being unfocused.
