the kids dont stand a chance Lyrics


A devastatin' backstroke
All the way from France
With shiny, shiny cuff links
A shirtsleeve to enhanceThe pin striped men of mornin'
Are comin' for to dance
With pure Egyptian cotton
The kids don't stand a chanceYou criticize the practice
By murderin' the plans
Ignorin' all the history
Denyin' them romanceThe pin striped men of mornin'
Are comin' for to dance
Forty million dollars
The kids don't stand a chanceI didn't like the business
But that was at first glance
Your pillow feels so soft now
But still you must advanceThe pin striped men of mornin'
The partners in the dance
Paper's shot to pieces

The kids don't stand a chance

Vampire Weekend is an indie rock band which formed in February 2006 in New York City, New York, United States. The band consists of Ezra Koenig (vocals, guitar), Rostam Batmanglij (keyboards, guitar, vocals), Chris Baio (bass) and Christopher Tomson (drums). The band has released two albums: Their successful 2008 self-titled album and 2010's "Contra". The band has gained positive comparisons to such artists as Paul Simon, Haircut 100 and The Walkmen.

Vampire Weekend received much buzz from local blogs throughout 2007 during their rise to a record deal with indie label XL Recordings. Rolling Stone placed Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa at number 57 for the top 100 songs of 2007.

The band's debut album, "Vampire Weekend" was released on January 28. 2008. It was surprise success, peaking at #17 on the Billboard 200.

Their second album "Contra" was released on January 12, 2010. It contains the single "Cousins". The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, only the 12th independently released and distributed album to achieve such a feat.

They are self-proclaimed "specialists in the following styles: 'Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa', 'Upper West Side Soweto', 'Campus', and 'Oxford Comma Riddim.'"

The name Vampire Weekend comes from a movie that Ezra Koenig made in the summer of his freshman year at college. You can watch the trailer on Youtube, here.
