Say Anything - The Presidential Suite Lyrics
"This is a punk rock song.
It doesn't sound like a punk rock song, but it is!
Just listen..."
You've been led on
The whole time
You've been led on
Completely wrong
The whole time
They pave the way for every second of your day
It is no myth; no it's the Bible of the God
That they erected on the ashes of your neighborhood
He's looming like, like the god of blunder
You sing to sing his praise because you're lazy
And you've been taught too much to learn.
Another pawn, a pink flamingo on the lawn
On the capitol of shame
With your buried head and only you to blame.
You've been led on
Yes, you were wrong
The whole time
You've been led on
Completely wrong
The whole time
The rodeo begins, They take us for a ride
and we are flailing, but as hard as we may buck
the king of fools is still in place and fit to rule.
You fucking praise him. Yes, you fillet'd him with your trust
Your parents, parents, made this happen.
Yeah eat your words and fold your napkins!
Another pawn, a pink flamingo on the lawn,
and that's all you'll ever be.
And if you thought that you were free, well...
You've been led on
Yes, you were wrong
The whole time
You've been led on
Completely wrong
The whole time

Say Anything The Presidential Suite Comments
I first heard this song, right here on your channel nearly 10 years ago when I was madly in love with Say Anything.
I remember it was so appropriate because living in the Bush era seemed like some twilight zone shit with what he got away with.
"You sink to sing his praise because you're lazy and you've been taught too much to learn."
This is such a great line. It's incredible how much more relevant this is in 2019.
Remember: Max was born into a somewhat prominent, religiously Jewish family... The song is about Christianity always trying to suppress Judaism, claiming that Jesus of Nazareth basically "undid" the Jewish religion. "You've been led on..." in regards to an easy salvation, but "...you were wrong, the whole time." Christianity, in the Jewish view, is a fraudulent shortcut; false promises for the masses. This song embodies the resistance. It's unfortunate to me that, much later, Max abandoned his roots. Hence, anything that Say Anything has done since ~2009 has blown! Many other SA tracks contain obvious Judaic messages. Trust me on this one. Judaism forever!
The one band I love to see live, max is amazing.
Stephanie Hornsby he's the best anytime they come within a five hour driving distance from me I go to see them witch isn't to hard since I live in Ohio and they always come to Ohio my favorite band of all time they're so fucking good also the most underrated band of all time
Just played this at his show in Cleveland in honer of are new President
this election in a nutshell...
Avalon Oakford funny thing during his concert in Cleveland he sang this song in honor of Trump
imagine the harassment the 1 dislike person would get if they showed who it was lol, douche
one of my all time favorite songs by say anything. love love looooove this band. totally genius.
I want to get drunk and sing this as loud as I possibly can.
WHO THE FUCK IS THE ONE PERSON THAT DIDN'T LIKE THIS HUH
you prototypical non-conformist.
Perfect for our election on both sides lmao. I think this was originally written for bush. not sure could be religious.
thank you max and say anything for the wonderful music.i will never forget you.
I scream that every time I listen to this song in my carrrrr <3333
the look on his face at 0:42 .....-sigh- <3
Intro is so awesome.
Let's go again!
Fold your napkins haters! :P
one person pushed dislike by accident :(
You fellate him with your trust.
i remember reading somewhere that max became an atheist around this time, and from their lyrics it sounds like he saying that people who are brought up with religion but never question or look into it are idiots with the whole' "you've been lead on" (always brought up to believe something, that in max's mind, doesn't exist ) there is some sarcasm in here too. "It is NO myth, no it's the BIBLE of the god!"
i wanna hear the song
It doesn't sound like a punk rock song!.....BUT IT IS!
Yeah you're probably right.
Though I'll never know for sure...
Still kicking myself for missing out on that. Agh.
I know what you mean about these not sounding like old school Bemis. The quality differs greatly.
As for the personal songs, I just think people haven't posted them. If you read the forums on their website, people talk about how much they like them.
Think about it- if Bemis wrote you a song, would you post it for the rest of the world to hear? I certainly wouldn't.
I'm experiencing the exact same thing. Since they let out Hate Everyone I've been browsing youtube and finding this wide variety of songs Ive never heard.
The thing is.. these dont exactly sound like old school Bemis, (This wouldn't exactly belong on baseball, dontcha think?) so I wonder if they could really be songs lost to time. I find myself wondering what happened to all those personal songs people commissioned max to write over the summer. Anyone remember that/know what happened to them?
You mean Junior Varsity and Property :P
Quality tune, is this meant to be a song agaisnt bush? Cuz thats what i read. If so this is the best anti-bush song EVER
ya amazing song as usual by max
