God, Make Up Your Mind Lyrics


backseat of your family station wagon, listening nina simone
100 years of solution and only 12 years old
god make up your mind
do you want to play fair?
or should I take what's mine,
like everyone else
your mom is calling out,
"look at the grand canyon"
camilla couldn't care less
gaze into the hole
your stomach feels the emptiness of death
from new york to new orleans,
played alphabet
kansas to boise,
won the battleship
memorized the capitals,
crossword puzzles
drew a picture of a cat

laying dead on the street
daydream about my real dad
back in california
elephant in your brain,
reminding you you've got to make a choice
wraps his arms around you slow
cause you tens up like an armadillo
why ain't my teacher on a street sign?
he's done so much more than politicians,
dead musicians
you wanne help someone
you gotta be a no one
thats what I figured out
the cat in the street meant
you gotta make up your mind

Cold War Kids are an indie rock band from Fullerton, California, USA. The band members are Nathan Willett (lead vocals, piano, guitar), Jonnie Russell (guitar, vocals, percussion), Matt Maust (bass guitar) and Matt Aveiro (drums). According to Songfacts, Matt Maust came up with the band's name. He was inspired by a trip to Eastern Europe where he came across a big park where they'd dumped statues that had been removed after Communism fell. Within the park he found a playground and being in that environment the phrase 'Cold War Kids' popped into his head.

The band started in historic downtown Fullerton in Jonnie's apartment above the restaurant Mulberry St. (their first EP title) in 2004. They are avid supporters of unsigned talent such as the band Electric Furs. They have toured in support of Two Gallants, Tapes 'n Tapes, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Sound Team, Muse and The White Stripes. Their music is heavily inspired by artists such as Jeff Buckley, Bob Dylan, Velvet Underground and Johnny Segment. Recently they starred in an MTV2 special titled "Cold War Kids Takeover!" They appeared on Soccer AM and were announced as Norwich City F.C. Fans. They were going to tour with The White Stripes for their Icky Thump tour, but The White Stripes had to cancel.

In 2007, they contributed to OKX, a tribute to the 10-year-old Radiohead album OK Computer, recording their version of the track "Electioneering." Nathan Willett identified Radiohead and the album as a strong influence, saying, "It's the only album that I feel compelled to say way too grandiose things about, that rock journalists have already said plenty: Like that OK Computer is the single most important album to be released during my youth and that it was a rite of passage. But that really is the truth and I have never had an emotional connection with an album quite like I have with this one."

He also explained why the band chose to cover "Electioneering" from the album: "I'm not saying 'Electioneering' is the best song on the album, but (still, a big claim!) it's certainly the most badass. It's lyrically everything we want to do - bursts of concrete imagery."
