Lyrics Response

"Kids"
MGMT

You were a child
Crawling on your knees toward it
Making momma so proud
But your voice is too loud
We like to watch you laughing
Picking insects off of plants
No time to think of consequences

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from him

The water is warm
But it's sending me shivers
A baby is born
Crying out for attention
Memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decision to decisions are made and not bought
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot
I guess not

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from him

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from him

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from him

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from him

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from him

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from him

My Response:
I chose this song because I can relate to what it says. To me MGMT is trying to say that we were all kids once. As a child you do things and don't think about the consequences. I myself at times still don't think about the consequences. Also that we all went through the same stages like learning the basic things in life and learning from our mistakes. Life goes on. As life goes on memories fade away. We all end up dying and everyday a baby is born.

Bio Poem

Jonathan
Child of Obdulia and Joe
Who loves to skate
Who hates posers
Who wants to go to italy
Who wishes he could've met nirvana
Who is scared of heights
Who dreams of being pro at skating
Who is determined to go to college
Who values money
Who is proud of me
Who graduated from middle school
Who lives in La
