R.I.P. 2 My Youth recebeu dos THE NEIGHBOURHOOD um tratamento lírico e musical assinalável. O tema foi pela primeira vez escutado através da estação de rádio KROQ, como o vídeo em baixo documenta.
A canção aborda uma das fases mais difíceis de qualquer ser humano, e não é complicado antever que, mais tarde ou mais cedo, esta trilha sonora tenha um resgate para qualquer filme de Hollywood. Só espero que a canção sirva de base a um filme conceptual e não receba Hollywood treatment, pois é um assunto demasiado intenso para ser tratado de forma leve.
Cigarettes and tiny liquor bottles,
Just what you'd expect inside her new Balenciaga.
Vile romance, turned dreams into an empire.
Self-made success now she woes with Rockefellers.
Survival of the richest, the city's ours until the fall.
They're Monaco and Hamptons bound but we don't feel like outsiders at all.
We are the new Americana,
High on legal marijuana,
Raised on Biggie and Nirvana,
We are the new Americana.
Young James Dean, some say he looks just like his father,
But he could never love somebody's daughter.
Football team loved more than just the game
So he vowed to be his husband at the alter.
Survival of the richest, the city's ours until the fall.
They're Monaco and Hamptons bound but we don't feel like outsiders at all.
We are the new Americana,
High on legal marijuana,
Raised on Biggie and Nirvana,
We are the new Americana.
We know very well who we are, so we hold it down when summer starts.
What kind of dough have you been spending?
What kind of bubblegum have you been blowing lately?
We are the new Americana,
High on legal marijuana,
Raised on Biggie and Nirvana,
We are the new Americana.
We are the new Americana,
High on legal marijuana,
Raised on Biggie and Nirvana,
We are the new Americana.
