Nothing But Thieves - Gods Lyrics
Gods
Are ringing down
They flood the town
With their holy water
Gods are everywhere
With their everafter
Gods
They're all around
They're in the cloud
They're on my television
Gods
You can't escape
They'll do no fate
Always their next religion
And I don't understand why they need me
Why I feel like a flaw in the system
Why I don't get a chance to resist them
And I don't understand how they got me
And I don't understand why they hold me
Please, oh god, nothing more I can give them
And I don't get a chance to resist them
Gods
They'll come for you
They're on the news
From back and center pages
Gods
I will pray
They're on the chase
They put our kids in cages
And I don't understand why they want me
And I don't understand why they need me
Why I feel like a flaw in the system
Why I don't get a chance to resist them
And I don't understand how they got me
And I don't understand why they hold me
Please, oh god, nothing more I can give them
And I don't get a chance to resist them
And I don't understand why they want me
And I don't understand why they need me
Why I feel like a flaw in the system
Why I don't get a chance to resist them
And I don't understand how they got me
And I don't understand why they hold me
Please, oh god, nothing more I can give them
And I don't get a chance to resist them

Nothing But Thieves Gods Comments
I hope they will never turn into pop cause they're just what i need.
I'm still waiting for that live performance. :)
This song is not about religion or government.
It's clear that this song is about Mass media, about advertisement, about celebrities, about TV and stars, about fashion, about our life in Internet. Every minute (even now) we get dictated what to think, what to wear, what to watch, what to feel, who's to blame and who's to uplift.
such heavy
I get intense Jeff Buckley vibes from the singer. I wonder if they are a fan. Love it!!!!
Muy buena cancion
De verdad merece millones de likes
its been 7 months since this ep came out and im still so amazed by it. PLAY THIS SONG LIVE
jajjaja.... this is the END
So many edgy, overreacting teens in the comments.
Yeah or they just really like the song
Going to see them in Nederland in may
This reminds me a lot of Radiohead (and especially of "just")
Just listening to every nothing but thieves song and making sure I have liked them all 😊
best song off the ep.
ALL THE BASS IN THIS SONG help
pOR ESTA BANDA AMO UN POCO MI GENERACIÓN!!
It reminds me of Jeff Buckley
im seriously going to cry. how do you guys never make a bad song? How are those vocals so on point? How do those songs make me sad and happy at the same time?
I got the record with all four new songs on it Coz my dad has a record player!!! Yaaaaas
coisa linda
They just keep going 👌😁😉
I think i gotta look for this jeff buckley
This riff. Holy fuck
Nothing but thives thanks for exist
How tf did I not know about this song!
Glad my friend sent md the EP
12 people are deaf
i really need to hear this live
i fucking did
FUCKING CONOR SOUNDS JUST LIKE JEFF BUCKLEY I LOVE IT SO MUUUUUCCCHHHH
the jeff buckley influence is so clear here!!!
Meu Deusssssss ❤️❤️
2:08 - 2:13 ... Oh..Jeff Buckley, what are you doing here?
Yes! This whole song is Buckley-esque imo. Reminds me of Grace.
ARE Y'ALL AWARE OF HOW FANTASTIC YOUR MUSIC IS???? ARE Y'ALL TRULY A W A RE?? 😤😤💕💕💕
0:34 Conor’s note change gives me actual goosebumps holy shit that was so good
Freaking same. It came on spotify and I usually give songs a minute to impress me before skipping. That riff made me stay for the whole song.
Whole EP is brilliant, but starting to expect that every time you release new material, you are setting the bar high boys !
Definitely hints of Jeff Buckley and Chris Cornell....these guys are fkn awesome
Simplemente NBT mi banda favorita, ninguna rola me decepciona 👌 < 3
this song just came out and is now my favorite, you guys are really something. not enough people know yet, i can say i am here before you guys go mainstream :))
Why doesn’t this show up anywhere? I found it on the home page, not my subscriptions - it’s not even listed on their page under uploads 🤔
This is like a song against the power! and suppression!
You never let me down!
Mystical mother fuckers
Nobody before or since has sounded this much like Jeff Buckley and I love it
CHILLS. You guys never disappoint me <3
Getting so many Jeff Buckley vibes from this 😍😍
This is such a great song! And I love the sociopolitical statement it makes. I would soooo love to watch them perform this in concert!
The singing and progression (especially the beginning) reminds me a lot of Jeff Buckley! More people that hear this?
Yes! Reminds me specifically of his song "Grace" It feels like it's in the same key and you're so right about the progression. Like Bruno said, I thought I was the only one who thought this!
@Mey Totally agreed, it is very familiar to Grace, which is certainly not a bad thing!
Coner the singer and the whole band see Jeff Buckley as there idol they said when they were writing the new album that they listened to Jeff Buckley as an inspiration aswell
Exactly!!!
UltimateRyanGames Came to this video in search of this comment. So similar. Bassline and all
Afterlife 2.0 :v
Jjskjsksjks re xD
is this donald trump?
or just big public figures in general?
in case you questioned, think about the line " Gods
I will pray
They're on the chase
They put our kids in cages"
Damn, what an amazing song guysss💖 greetings from Mexico 💖
I love it ❤️,thank you guys!
Oh wow what a Jeff Buckley rip off
You idiot - any real fan knows how Conor has been influenced by Jeff Buckley - yes, he sounds like JB, especially in the upper ranges of his chest voice, but I’ve listened to everything JB recorded and released, and there is nothing in that sounds like this.
The one person who has disliked this don’t have a taste in music or a soul
This band is the best can’t wait to see them next month 20th November MANCHESTER O2 APOLLO BRING IT
BITCHES, I'M CRYING ABOUT HOW BEAUTIFUL THIS IS !!!!!!!! 1111
GODS: NOTHING BUT THIEVES
I NEED A RESUSCITATION
This band gives me hope.
*Squealing in bed*
THOSE LYRICS oh my god i have CHILLS and that guitar riff at the beginning what the hell I'M BALD!! love you guys so much.
Holy shit I love you guys
So Jeff Buckley is still alive...
He got reincarnated 😍
Me: Gods sounds like Trump
NBT: They put our kids in cages
Me: IT IS TRUMP!!! 😮
Actually, I think it's about forced religion rather than the controversial president. It could very likely be about the baby carrot, but it just has a different connotation imo
Ereka Brotherson It really isn’t.. but anyways you do you.
That’s been happening since Bill Clinton. The mainstream is just telling you to care now so you do. You’re under the control of the “gods” all the same.
The beginning gives me chills. I love this song so much☄️🧡
Are you crazy? Amazing!!!!
😍😍
LOVE YOU GUYS!! IT'S FUCKING AMAZING!!!!
The fucking riff at 0:34 is so flawless i'm vomiting from excitement
Omg yeah😏
Riff? You mean run?
@stupid taurus technically yeah, but in vocal terms, run and riff are pretty much synonymous
Julia P understandable
And again! An amazing song!! 🔥❤️❤️❤️
One question. How can this band get any better? It just doesn’t make sense. They need to stop before I get bald
Ilham Imam they already got my wig ages ago
WILL THEY EVER GET BETTER? BETTER?
cuz it feels like this might last forever...
they get better at 1.5x speed
Before I get bald 🤣
we stan
Everyone knows what this song is about but nobody will state the obvious. The best line is "they put our kids in cages", really creative. My fav song on the ep
I think that it's about religion because people are so restricted with religion. "they put our kids in cages" would add to that. It could be about government tho, that would make sense.
Wouldn't be surprised if it's all of the above: Several governments, several religions (if not all, respectively).
@Daybrink it's about US detaining refugees/rejecting asylum to muslims from the middle east
I think it's about when we worship something, we turn it into a God, when we watch a TV show a lot and we spend our time, our admiration, our love on some occasions, I think it's about that.
It's about religions and how their always trying to convert you and how they are every aspect of life even when you aren't religious yourself. Nothing but thieves has multiple songs talking about religion. Like graveyard whistling and afterlife.
This could be a song for American Gods Season 2.
I’m reading the book as I listen and it’s so fitting!
That would be really cool
LOVE THIS IT'S BLOODY BALLSY AND THAT'S WHAT I LIKE
Zaraerae Smith Hello stranger xP
I’m way too excited to find out how this ep will sound live xD
BackSpaceR it sound fucking brilliant I saw them live at the o2 Apollo in Manchester they sung take this lonely heart, forever and ever more and also you know me to well and they sounded surreal
Love it!!!💖
I love you guys, just no words
[Verse 1]
Gods
Are raining down
They flood the town
With their holy water
Gods are everywhere
Pollute the air
With their everafter
Gods
They're all around
They're in the cloud
They're on my television
Gods
You can't escape
They'll do no fate
Always their next religion
[Chorus]
And I don't understand why they want me
And I don't understand why they need me
Why I feel like a flaw in the system
Why I don't get a chance to resist them
And I don't understand how they got me
And I don't understand why they hold me
Please, oh god, nothing more I can give them
And I don't get a chance to resist them
[Verse 2]
Gods
They'll come for you
They're on the news
Front, back and center pages
Gods
I will pray
They're on the chase
They put our kids in cages
[Chorus]
And I don't understand why they want me
And I don't understand why they need me
Why I feel like a flaw in the system
Why I don't get a chance to resist them
And I don't understand how they got me
And I don't understand why they hold me
Please, oh god, nothing more I can give them
And I don't get a chance to resist them
[Instrumental-Bridge]
[Chorus]
And I don't understand why they want me
And I don't understand why they need me
Why I feel like a flaw in the system
Why I don't get a chance to resist them
And I don't understand how they got me
And I don't understand why they hold me
Please, oh god, nothing more I can give them
And I don't get a chance to resist them
I think he's saying "cause I've got nothing more I can give them" not "please, oh god, nothing more I can give them" but thanks for the lyrics
