Vampire Weekend - Ya Hey

Oh sweet thing
Zion doesn't love you
And Babylon don't love you
But you love everything
Oh you saint
America don't love you
So I could never love you
In spite of everything
In the dark of this place
There's the glow of your face
There's the dust on the screen
Of this broken machine
And I can't help but feel
That I've made some mistake
But I let it go
Ya Hey Ya Hey Ya Hey
Through the fire and
through the flames
Ya hey Ya hey
Ut Deo ya hey
Ut Deo ya hey
You won't even say your name
Ya hey Ya hey
Ut Deo ya hey
Ut Deo ya hey
Through the fire and
through the flames
You won't even say your name
Only I am that I am
But who could ever live that way
Ya hey Ya hey
Ut Deo ya hey
Ut Deo ya hey
Oh the motherland don't love you
The fatherland don't love you
So why love anything
Oh good God
The faithless they don't love you
The zealous hearts don't love you
And that's not gonna change
All the cameras and files
All the paranoid styles
All the tension and fear
Of a secret career
And I think in your heart
That you've seen the mistake
But you let it go
Ya Hey Ya Hey Ya Hey
Through the fire and
through the flames
Ya hey Ya hey
Ut Deo ya hey
Ut Deo ya hey
You won't even say your name
Ya hey Ya hey
Ut Deo ya hey
Ut Deo ya hey
Through the fire and
through the flames
You won't even say your name
Only I am that I am
But who could ever live that way
Ya hey Ya hey
Ut Deo ya hey
Ut Deo ya hey
Outside the tents
on the festival grounds
As the air began to cool
and the sun went down
My soul swooned
as I faintly heard the sound
Of you spinning Israelites
Into 19th Nervous Breakdown
Through the fire and
through the flames
Ya hey Ya hey
Ut Deo ya hey
Ut Deo ya hey
You won't even say your name
Ya hey Ya hey
Ut Deo ya hey
Ut Deo ya hey
Through the fire and
through the flames
You won't even say your name
Only I am that I am
But who could ever live that way
Ut Deo ya hey
Ut Deo ya hey
Through the fire and
through the flames
You won't even say your name
Only I am that I am
But who could ever live that way
Ut Deo ya hey
Ut Deo ya hey
