Refused - Useless Europeans Lyrics






Go back to sleep
You've seen all there is to see
You've used up all your freedom

Go back to sleep
You've been all that you can be
A useless European

It's a pretty house
You're a pretty girl
And it's a pretty life that you've got

Outside your pretty walls
There's an ugly world
Where there's no skin left for new scars

We live in houses of glass
Our pockets are holes
And there's a worthless currency
In the central bank of our souls

Go back to sleep
Dream a new dream
No more Europeans

Refused Useless Europeans Comments
  1. S.... K....

    Does this song allude to any special event? Or does it refer to european history in general? Just curious.

  2. S.... ....

    is this song supposed to be ironic? lyrics are too vague (and repeated), what side are they speaking for? not very punk is it...

  3. D.... ....

    Prophetic.

  4. Z.... ....

    Came here after French election

  5. E.... M....

    I don't know why would anybody hate on it, the whole album kicks ass, especially this and Elektra

  6. K.... ....

    i'm french and i dont really understand the lyrics ans the message...can someone explain me ?

    K.... ....

    Okay thx

    K.... ....

    +wesley granger Oh, Boo hoo.

    K.... ....

    +wesley granger how is suburban life in America differ from suburban life in any other country!?

    K.... ....

    Take a year off of suburban life in the U.S. and you'll see. I've lived outside of the U.S. for over 7 years now and its eye-opening. Yes, I am American born and raised, however, I do not want to live there now.

  7. M.... J....

    Refused might as well stayed asleep, why would they do this, hopes and dreams shattered. they'd have been better not releasing this so hat I'd have bought the album and hated their guts for it, now I just hate them for making me listen to a shit album on YouTube. if the other members were getting bored and they wanted to write something like this, I'm sure they could have found room for them in International Noise Conspiracy. Took 17 years to write this?

    M.... J....

    Ma Ja hater. Jealousy is a bitch when you don't got your own shit to represent.

  8. L.... R....

    I have to admit, no more Europeans sounds like a hopeful prospect. Maybe a few hundred years too late.

  9. T.... ....

    Che disco fastidioso.

  10. r.... ....

    Good idea!

  11. J.... G....

    Go back to sleep
    You've seen all there is to see
    You've used up all your freedom

    Go back to sleep
    You've been all that you can be
    A useless European

    It's a pretty house
    You're a pretty girl
    And it's a pretty life that you've got
    Outside your pretty walls
    There's an ugly world
    Where there's no skin left for new scars

    We live in houses of glass and our pockets are holes
    And there's a worthless currency in the central bank of our souls

    Go back to sleep
    Dream a new dream
    No more Europeans

  12. S.... M....

    If some people have their way, there will no Europeans left.

    S.... M....

    Just the racist ones. There are racists in every race that want every other race to die. Thankfully, there are more people in every race that aren't like that and against stupidity that is racism.

  13. O.... ....

    awesome record. thank you for posting...cheers!! (A)

  14. f.... ....

    +Aldina Neves yeah totally sold out, releasing the album free on YouTube..

  15. J.... C....

    The Shape Of That Pretentious Navel Introspection We Put Out Twenty Years Ago That Never Caught On LIke We Predicted.

    J.... C....

    @Jeremy Carnes The name of that album was actually refernceing Ornette Coleman. Learn2music.

    J.... C....

    I do "2music", you moron. This shit sucks now and it sucked then. 

    J.... C....

    Which is why the hardcore scene at large shits all over it. Right. 

    Enjoy your pretentious bullshit.

    J.... C....

    +Jeremy Carnes By the "hardcore scene" you must mean you and your pimple faced friends in the basement because I don't know anyone who shits on that album. It's probably one of the most respected albums in alternative music.

    J.... C....

    You're a total fucking idiot. Pretentious, to you fucking dime a dozen hardcore bros, is just creativity to anyone that doesn't need to hear the same breakdown, see all the singers do the same moves, all of you wearing the same outfits. I mean, scene forbid a band add other influences into their sound!

  16. O.... S....

    useless music by sellout old punks

    O.... S....

    they used to be unconventional. there are lots of bands being more unconventional an less predictable right now who deserve the spot light way more than this album.

    O.... S....

    oh and I just checked your "my music" playlist... no comment dude ;)

    O.... S....

    well nothing to add, I guess refused is not the kind of band I am into right now. I like that you are open to that many styles, keep it up ;)

    O.... S....

    There are a lot of punk and hardcore bands playing a lot more than four chord songs. What I wanted to say about selling out is the the way they made it, it might just be my opinion but I think this record was made for the cash and not for the sake of making music. They used to do just that. Just look at the facts, records, shows, etc... open your eyes. They are delivering super childish political lyrics about stuff... well I might have grown out of that, and if I really want to listen to childish political songs, I'd get into rise against

    O.... S....

    have you seen the festivals they are playing?

  17. O.... ....

    The Doors and Pink Floyd sounding mash-up done with Refused flavor. Love it!

  18. H.... L....

    best song so far off the new album

    H.... L....

    @Hairy Leprechaun also the last song... psshhh wow. i was hoping the album was starting to get good. but no it's just over.

  19. R.... ....

    Opening feels very familiar.

    @Ricxz1992 RATHER BE DEAD

  20. E.... D....

    This song really grabs me. Probably my favorite part of the album.
