LYRICS
All the kids are throwing sticks:
Politics
Nights on the wire!
Everybody wants to get by
'Ts a test of the times!
A test of my rights
It's on pretty lady
Born to be angry
Grip of the vice
Click on the trigger, girl;
Sip wine on ice!
It's about time
Best to rewind
You better blow
Pistols, pistols...
Lights low
Go on baby go
It's a bad time
I'm on a tight rope!
Don't go-o!
It's about time, It's about time!
Everybody come on
Lights on
The beaches
Everybody come on; delight!
Close the front door
I don't wanna go
Like I'm on the 'Truman Show!'
Best to let go
You don't wanna know
You better blow!
Lights low
Go on baby go
It's a bad time
I'm on a tight rope!
Don't go-o!
It's about time, It's about...
All the years of paradise
Paradigms
Paralyze
Us
"You're crazy!"
All the cards you've organized
Shuffled twice in front of my eyes
Everybody has
Needs, wants, a cold gun!
Lights low
Go on baby go
It's a bad time
I'm on a tight rope!
Don't go-o!
It's about time, It's about...PISTOLS

I love this band! The lead singer has a voice that's soulful and energetic.They definitely deserve more recognition.
Well they're famous so... They get plenty.
This was two years ago
Sounds like Roger Rabbit. Get that out of your head now lol.

all the years of paradise, paradigms, paralyze us...
best line ive heard in a while, great song
Stupid question...
Can someone explain.. ?
liliana figueroa
this line means to mention that we all live with a certain amount of disconnect from what is required for our survival i.e. 'paradise'. this disconnections causes us to make 'paradigms' or sets of behavior that we all follow (like people being quiet on an elevator, or accepting income inequality). its the 'years' of living in this way that paralyze us from accomplishing our needs or helping others.
Whyyy thank you james..
James Hipp Yes! Makes you appreciate poetry. A great composition.
James Hipp
Nicely done! :)
Young the Giant is the most underrated band of our generation.
It really wasn’t, they several of their songs were on the alt rock radio circuit and they were popular when alternative was at its peak
I had a hard time trying to find this song because I misheard the lyrics and kept trying to search for _It's a bad time_ instead of _it's about time_. And I probably would have never found it had it not been for one of my friends who was like, "Lemme show you this song I found." So thank you, Kara.
that happened to me too hahaha
Never!
+Kirukitsu I just looked up the words 'Pistols, pistols, pistols' cause that's all I could understand. And voila, it came up. Funny how we look up songs we can't make out the titles or band names to.
Fucking Kara, we were supposed to keep this guy guessing! Oh well, funs over everyone...
Kirukitsu. Lmfao Dude that's HORRIBLE i'm so glad your friemd help you find it again lol It's a bad time
So good and well structured, love it!! An instant classic for me.
i never get bored of their songs, this shit deserves 100mil views
i agree, mind over matter album is a masterpiece
Ayala 2024 watch it a hundred million times then
A friend introduced me to this band. I figured these guys benefited from recording in a studio and they couldn't replicate this sound live. Well I just saw them in Nashville and they are just as good if not better live.
Agreed 100% saw them in Winnipeg (Canada) this past thursday and was blown away ;)
Fueled by Ramen has some of the best bands.
I can listen to this infinitely looped.
It's so badass:-)
This guys voice is beautifu
+Stephanie Gavina The missing "L" is killing me lol
+Amer Zubaidi r u dead yet?
This song and band definitely hasn't taken a ''L''... xD
Stephanie Gavina your voice is beautiful
Stephanie Gavina girl I just realized we have the same name and same music taste ( from Tyler the creator, gorillaz, to passion pit). Dang we cool
i love this band. they are saving rock music from strummy mediocrity.
Glen Ackerman no, Biffy Clyro is...
For the longest time I thought he was saying 'I'm on a gyro' Tight rope makes so much more sense.
Why did this comment get 14 likes? Society is so simple.
Why did you even feel the need to comment? Get outta here, ya soda.
Ty Palmer
You seem like a humorless person, so I'll explain it to you. That comment got so many likes because it's difficult to understand what the singer is saying during that passage. The comment puts forth a silly mishearing that makes the song more amusing to listen to if you imagine those words are being spoken instead.
Maybe you could have worked that out for yourself if you weren't an elitist prick.
Well, my mother tonge is Spanish, yet I do hear "tight rope" with no doubt at all, but the comment is funny nonetheless.
Oh my gosh, I'm not the only one!
When the lights dimmed I thought my phone had low battery...
Same:-D
ManiMonstrosity who watches this on a phone?
liftcarry123 Can't get enough:D
you didnt notice that it also literally says "lights low" as soon as it dims?
bentleyboy72 Not if you are watching it on a phone. XD
I love this song! Young The Giant is awesome!
Battlefield is also awesome.
Julian Escobedo Black people are also awesome
Julian Escobedo That is very true, sir.
Wow am i the only person that listens to this song at least once a day?
+The NY Knick me too
+The NY Knick dude me too!
This song is stupid well done. Like I can’t.
so good!
the melodies in this song wowwww. yes.
Finally, some different progression in mainstream music. Still have some ways to go though
PSSSHH. This is progressive indie rock goodness. When Justin Bieber and One Direction start singing about something other than how pretty girls are THAT'S mainstream progression. YTG is very happily under the radar of a large amount of the mainstream audience, and I like it that way.
Matthew Westmoreland no this rock is much more radio-ready. Progressive indie rock? Nahh, I'd say closer to alternative rock, or just a more aggressive indie rock sound. This is definitely towards mainstream radio though, but it's a good change nonetheless (not implying that they were bad before, they were just as good)
2:11 is the best part of the song
I thought with their second album they might get poppy and shitty, but holy shit, these guys came through. :)
It’s the third you wanna watch for. Usually album one is “what can we do with these new tools”, album two is “now that we know how to use em, here’s what we wanted to do”, album three is “now what, I wanna get paid again” lol
It's 2016 and I still get chills at 3:12
Good music survives time.
Still getting chills in 2023 🤘

Young the Giant: what can i say about this group...? theyre just such an awesome group my number one! the lead singer..what a mesmerizing voice! i bet he sound as equally amazing live as he does in the tracks. and their music is overall is amazing! there is variety in their music and almost all their songs give me those "this song is so good" chills lol i hope they continue making music as good as they are now.
Same thing here
The quick guitar strumming change at 3:18 is really cool.
I'm in LOVE with this new sound. I loved their first album, but this song makes me super excited for what they have next. I love this video too. It's beautiful. I can't stop replaying this video.
This album absolutely sold me on this band. Such talent.
Is that . . . is that . . . JESUS on the bass?!! Oh, man! Waaaay better than that whole fishes and loaves gig. Sweet!
So what you're saying is, that Jesus is a musician that volunteers at soup kitchens when he's not on tour. Seems legit.
Absolutement, Friia! Way better than what Jesus's current fans have him doing. If Jesus was alive today, that would be exactly his gig.
Yes Jesus Christ and Muhammad are on the same band.
Muhammad is not in this band. Sorry.
Finn Balor . . . as is Jesus.
So this use to be my morning alarm.
Such an underrated band.
I fucking hate this song being overplayed. I'm glad my new car has a CD player.
Oh yeah? Well my new car has an mp3 player. And satellite radio. And it cures cancer. So there.
Why did you come on to this video then?? Honestly, if you don't like the band, make some helpful criticism or something.. Don't be spouting hate here. This is a very talented and kind group of individuals, and it's not their fault that radio stations overplay their songs.
jesus people, he wasn't hating on this band, he just hates that it's overplayed on the radio, and I can relate to this.
Nagato Uzumaki This song is played on the radio?
Bauron A It's number 4 right now on the alternative rock charts. "Rock" stations overplay it.
As consumers were limited in the music that is presented to us. There are so many new music scenes unfolding, but people have no idea they exist. People are constantly searching for new music, but don't know how to find it.
Our mission is to bring it to them. We feature underground artist in order to "get their music noticed."
Join the Movement, and stay tuned for next week's feature!
No.
Joe DeRosa lol
1:10 - 1:30 absolute perfection, sameer you are an angel
This is one of the best directed music videos I've ever seen
God I love this band. They make such wonderful and original music and I am SO excited for their new album!
new fav song!!!
3:18 best part damn one of the best outros to a rock song it all smashed together so well
2:31 is such a cool transition
People use the term "rock out" too loosely. It should be reserved for songs like this. Holy shit. If it comes on in my car I have to wait to go in and headbang until its over.
I need another album from Young the Giant. I've been listening to the same two albums for 3 years now. Come on guys, where's the album. We miss you.
It's coming out soon!! I'm sooooo excited 💕👍🏼
+Lindsey Herbert I just heard their song Amerika on Saturday and loved it.
+princephillay same. I heard it on Friday and it was instantly my favorite song 😂😂💖
+Ysabelle Moon It's coming out in August. The singles are Amerika and Something to Believe In
Peru 2020
I don't typically like this band, but this song is the bee's knees.
Woaaaah, the comments are really aggressive, aren't they? I wanna wish these guys luck and lots of success, because they seriously deserve it. Once in a while I listen to one of the songs on their first album and it brings back so many memories. I'm thankful that they are making music that they are enjoying, and I'm super stoked to be hearing something new and different and totally cool. I liked this song, and of course the vocals are amazing. Please don't neglect your old sound
Their whole damn album is super catchy. Can't stop listening.
Holy fuck.... THIS SONG IS ALMOST 10 YEARS OLD ALREADY!? REALLY
It’s about time extremely talented bands were promoted
When I first heard this song, I heard "I'm on a tight rope!" as "I want a gyro!" Even if it's not the correct pronunciation, every time I hear the song I now think of Greek cuisine.
Even when I hear it now i still hear "Azerbaijan" instead of "its about time"
Me too! And at the end of the bridge, "what's a cold cuuuut?!"
When I heard this for the first time I wasn't so sure what to think of it. But it's totally grown on me. Love that guitar part at 0:14
From the sound of this, I'll be sticking with their first album.
They're aiming for an old school rock sound with this track, it's not they're "attempt" at being a hardcore/ metal band. Old school rock allows the band to produce that more edgy sound whilst simultaneously maintaining the original elements of Young the Giant.
Great song! What a singer with a charming voice!!!!!
This band is fun and energetic. Sameer Gadhia is nice to look at too :)
Seems they just want to play some music....cool !
Anybody who doesn't like this can GTFO. Don't complain that bands change, change is a good thing. Also this isn't that much of a change, I still hear a lot of their old sound in a great new song. Well done, YTG. Can't wait for the album.
stop gun violence !
i love this song ♡
Those effects though
Great track.
So happy someone is still making real music
Music like this is when I wish there was another The Mars Volta album underway to really blow people's minds.
I didn't know they said Pistols This whole time I thought they said pissed off, pissed off OmG!!
Can't wait to sing this when they finally release their next album... like " it's about time, it's about tiiiiiiiiiiiiimmmmmmeeeeee......" 😬 lol
Idk why but I love the video for this song, it's just very cool. I mean it's just them playing their music and some cool editing and idk I just love it. And this song is so great and I am in love with his voice
Well said my friend :) they deserve more credit though
Song's pretty cool, defintely catchy, well-written parts. Like the part with the lone guitar then the percussion enters...chills.
But, I can't help but think "so THAT'S what The Mars Volta would've sounded like if they tried harder to get on the radio."
How to name your alternative band:
"(noun) the (noun)"
You are welcome.
young is an adjective? but yeah pretty much. Jukebox the ghost, et al
fjordexplorer I always thought of Young as a name and not the adjective?
It used to be 'how to name your alternative bands':
The (fill in blank). The Strokes, the Hives, the Vines, the White Stripes, the Black Keys, the Verve, the Cure, etc....
Then it became: Word and number. Eve 6, Maroon 5, Blink 182, Sum 41, Seven Mary Three, 3 Doors Down, Matchbox 20, Finger 11, etc....
Henry Walsh Let's just say it's a very descriptive name and leave it at that.
Walk the Moon?
saw them at a college concert this weekend, good times!
Real Music 🎶
1:10 such beautiful sound those guitar chords and the kick drum ...very nice...
aghh! I have a paper due tomorrow but I keep getting distracted by Sameer's voice. STAHP IT.
WOW... What a song!!!
It blows my mind how people take the time to come to a video they don't like, to tell people they don't like it. To be honest, I can't find a fuck to give about anyones negative opinion.
Thank Fueled By Ramen! You have the most amazing bands! Now with Young the Giant! Success! Always!
This reminds me of The Mars Volta.
you're absolutely right, I got the same idea at first listen...At the Drive-In as well. Whispered falsetto, high guitars scales, frequent changes of rhythm and dynamics... too much alike, but all in all not a bad tune
Valerio Perogio The Mars Volta doesn't have a vocalist quite like this
SXI96 Yes, Mars Volta has a better one. I like young the giant as much as Mars Volta, but Cedric-Bixler Zavala is an better vocalist.
Cedric has a more powerful vocal extension, no doubt. But Sameer relies more on his interpretation skills, at least in a pop rock sense. Who's best? Hard to say..
See the comments? That's the reason I hate it when bands I like becomes known/mainstream.
Stop thinking and stupid commenting and just chill & enjoy the rockin` music, already, pretty please.
STILL MY FAVORITE SONG
It's about time for a new album !! :D
great job YTG
Gosh this takes me back to 10th grade year...used to jam out to this after school waiting for the bus, and just drift away.
SincerelyAnonymousTV Same! So many memories with this band.
All the years of paradise
Paradigms
Paralyze
Us.......
Love this Lyric
If you can listen to this and not bob your head. You're not human.
I heard this song at a show of theirs and now they make a video 2 years later
it's about time
Lights low
Go on baby go
It's a bad time
I'm on a tight rope
Don't go oh go
It's about time, it's about time
Dont go...please
*it's about time
James Davis he actually says its a bad time lol
TJ Stoes I always thought it was "It's about time" I mean it's the name of the freaking song. Lyrics confuse me some times.
Yeah I thought the same thing, had to look it up lol
Exactly! And honestly YTG hasn't even been around long enough to have really "changed" to me it's just more amazing music!
song keeps growing on me. cant wait to see em next year
THIS IS A SMASH HIT !!!!!!!! YESSS BABY!!!! JAM!!!!!
Angie Hall-Witherspoon
Ahh I just love the part at 2:32
Sameer and Francois were interviewed very recently about their upcoming album (Google "Young The Giant it's about time").
Francois states the following in regards to this single:
"It's pretty diverse in general. I would say that it's certainly the most aggressive song on the album. But it kind of came from this realization we could do what we wanted to do and be honest about it."
They are not married to the sound of their first album, change is necessary. They're doing their thing.
This was well worth the wait.
Jesus over there playing bass.
Is this a commercial for skinny jeans?
No its a commercial for man package... lol!!!!!
I apologize, they are just so tight...
Whoa man that was such an original comment. I really like the part where you judged someone on the appearance and came off like a shallow tool :) keep it up!
Robert Moreira It's the internet. It's socially acceptable to be a douche'.
It's about time for good Rock and Roll. These cats bring it!
THIS SONG BANGS
Whispers "fist bump...fist bump...fist bump"
now it cant be unheard
"Pistols, pistols, pistols, WHOOOSH"
This song was alright when first aired on the local radio stations in my area. Since then 'It's about time' has been so overdone with a play average of 7-14 x a day. If Its' about time' were a steak it would now be charcoal.
Obviously you should be taking your displeasure somewhere you can't hear the song.
My displeasure didn't have to do with the song, it had to do with local stations what overplay is and other songs.
Steve Notes Ok Steve I apologize if I had offended you, my comment was just an opinion...that's it. About Young and the Giant, I'm sure their album has other good songs, does it not?
Did I attack the song, troll it or troll you?
Do I have a right to express an opinion? Wait, I think I know the answer to the last one.
who still listens to the radio if its not pandora or spotify lol wat
Lot's of people still listen to the radio. :)
Still here 2022!!!! 🤘🏾💁🏽♀️‼️
Listened to it 15/20 times this afternoon: nice, but I'm not 100% convinced. Waiting for the complete album on 21st January!
I hear some kind of progression that I've heard in a Mars Volta song. Am I crazy?
+Jessica Because I saw Young the Giant play this song live on Sunday and this is all I could think of! I can't quite put my finger on it, but I know the chorus reminds me of the chorus from "Oroborous".
I hear it at 1:09. I mean it's obvious that it's the guitar and the high vocals, but maybe the entire song also carries a progression that MV does. Some kind of time signature. Im bad with the terminology.
didn't realize that the black keys changed their band name
People need to open their ears and hearts to different music I was in jail when I heard this I loved it big ups young the gisnt
Masterpiece! Vocal 10/10
1. They kinda remind me of A Perfect Circle with this song.
And
2. When I was trying to find this song, because the people on the radio don't tell you the artist, when he said, "tight rope" I thought he said "gyro" and apparently I wasn't the only one who thought he said gyro because I found the song in a flash. Lol
1:18 how about it tynore?!
could this band get any better honestly
This is "the" sound of the band!!!
