lyrics

[Intro]
I miss Austria, I can tell you,
I miss the beer in Austria.
Here's the thing:
When you have the beer in Austria, you know,
It's like none of the beer you ever had, you know
You sit there in your cafes in these old cities
And you just have a beer and it's like another beer you never had,
And I miss Austria.

So you gotta understand, you know,
You never really outlive your hometown.
You know what I mean?
So, I may not sound like it, but, uh
My family, all my roots,
We're all going to Austria.
You don't have to believe me.
I may sound like a nice little Jewish Boy from the Ukraine,
But I'm not.

So here's the thing:
People came from the same place.
We're all the same people.
What, you think you're different?
You think you're different?

Let me get a little glimpse into your DNA, huh?
Why don't you show me a little bit of your DNA,
And I'll tell you if we're different.

Take a little look,
Dig in with a little Microscope into your skin.
Put your skin under my Microscope and I'll show you,
I'll show you that you and I are made of the same thing,

[Perspective]
And that same thing's not anything fancy,
You know what I mean?
It's like, it's made of the same shit as my guitar is made out of,
You know what I mean?
And it's made out of the same shit as the beer is made out of,
You know what I mean?
And it's made out of the same shit that all of the fucking leaders around our country are made out of,
You know what I mean?
We're not that different.

I could just reach out,
I could reach out through my stomach and touch you.
There are umbilical cords running between each and every one of us.
We were all born from each other,
We were all born together.
We all take nutrients from the same place.
We are all twins.

[Conversation With Posterity]
"Look son, I may be long gone, but there's one thing that I know that I learned from you.
The bottom line of all of this.
The only thing that you have to remember
The only thing that matters,
The only thing I care if I pass on,
The only thing that matters,
The only thing that I understand,
The only thing I understand is Empathy.
The only thing I understand is Empathy."

[Anarchy]
Anarchy in Heaven,
Ecstasy in Hell.
I'll take out my 9/11,
And take away your Self.

[Rippage]

[Announcement]
We both gave birth to each other,
We all gave birth to each other,
We are all giving birth to each other,
We are all giving birth to each other.
We are all one another,
We are all one another,
We're all giving birth to each other,
We're all,
We're all twins.

[Freedom]

about

y u u g e Jersey City, New Jersey

y u u g e is a Jersey City and Rahway, NJ-based band:
Nick Afflitto, Alex Pergament, and Jerry Ramos.

We apply the philosophy of jazz-improvisation, listening, recurring thematic phrases-to organically improvise music and lyrics. We pull influences primarily from jazz, folk, punk, and hip-hop.

We grew out of After School Activities - a weekly improvised music night in Jersey City.
