Lyrics
I was born 16 years ago
So I know what it means to feel pain
And I’ve lived a life, long and rich enough
To have felt the slings and arrows of oppression
Military drums kick in at once
Because they sound triumphant and grand
Big outdoor reverb to make it sound like we’re in a field
Like we’re some kind of outdoor marching band
Images of sporting victory
Confused backdrop glamourising war
But the old cool kind of war, not the awful 20th century kind
Like the crusades
Or The American Civil War
Or a naval battle
Or some roman shit
We Are So Young, You Are So Inspired
We’ve come so far, we won’t be held back
You Are So Inspired, We Are So Young
The World is ours, we have life experience
Drums that you’d describe as tribal
They’re so low that we don’t need a bassist
But if you stop to think about how we’re using them
You might say it’s borderline racist
20 layers of my voice plus a choir
Because choirs sound epic and majestic
Stereo panning at 100%
Because the wider it is, the bigger it feels
Majesty,
Harmony,
Victory,
Angels
Panoramic,
Skydiving,
Chocolate,
Volcanos,
swordfish,
quinoa salad
instagram,
Joan of Arc,
cruciverbalist
The Olympics

We Are So Young, You Are So Inspired
We know nothing and yet you’re inspired
You Are So Inspired, We Are So Young
We’re not Naive, we know what Naive means
And I’m singing in a patter cause we’re gonna drop the music
Cause I’ve always found that setting things syllabically is memorable and wonderful that I can use so many words to say nothing at all
High nooooooote
We are so young You are so inspired
We’ve made so much money, you’re eating it up
You are so inspired, we are so young
We’re just like you, but also we’re better - Комедії
They nailed the Bastille "hey ahooo hey hey ahooo" background chorus and I'm crying with laughter
this is the last place i expected to see you tbh
@@god-rj5wf Same, god
Lee held his drumsticks in like five different positions, and somehow they were all wrong. You'd figure he'd get it right accidentally at some point.
*McBain voice* that's the joke
Also a bad one.
Adze He also didn't really touch the drum itself.
His hair is also fake. I don't even know what to do anymore.
i feel like that may have been on purpose for laughs
I can't explain why but I suddenly feel really inspired...
It's because they are young
Do you know what naïve means?
@@Accal1a we know what naive means
2:35 The moment when you are in a war, and you see a dove, and you remember war is bad.
"I was born 16years ago, so I know what it means to feel pain" looking back this line is so accurate
I can't stop looking at it.... all of that hair on lee's head
Lee's Edward Cullen t-shirt is just the perfect cherry on top of this musical sundae! Well done!
Aka how to write a faux uplifting teen pop song.....wait. Is this the sequel to How to Write a Love Song?
They've done it with club songs as well with "in the club tonight"
Awkward Squirtle That song is one of my FAVES!
yeah. fuckin awesome, right?
Not trying to be a prick on the net so no flame please
The best part about Jordan going public was they could mock generic female scenester with choker chain and (insert well known but not as popular band) tshirts purchased from kmart.
Although I think Benny could have pulled off that look quite well
I totally did purchase the t shirt and choker at k-mart! -JR
+The Axis of Awesome Kmart is awesome
That's dope.
I think it might look too good on benny to be used for comedic effect. It's in that trans uncanny valley with how he is dressed and it's fantastic!
Last time I checked Kmart didn't sell those shirts at all really, least not in my part of the world.
After Lee said "Y ahora en Español" I expected the next lines to be:
Estamos joven,
Están inspirados
I am only slightly disappointed.
Somos jóvenes, están insoirados. Así sería
This isn't even a style of song that I'd thought of to parody. But holy fuck, this was incredible XD
Wasn’t expecting you here of all places
hello there
I had real trouble breathing when I saw this performed live the first time at Lee's interjection of "..or some Roman shit."
Watching it at work in the middle of the day several months later, it's still perfect.
I, for one, am inspired as f&*#...
I also.
Is... is it weird that this song makes me feel inspired?
Jus continuing on my rabbit hole journey where i found this and i love it
This is exactly the kind of comedic and musical brilliance I have come to expect from the Axis of Awesome. Y'all are freaking amazing.
I love this song! The best thing is, all of the bits they point out to feel falsely inspiring really feel inspiring. High NooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooTE!
Good for Jordan. It takes a lot of courage to do that, especially on the Internet with tons of fans
I died at "or some Roman shit"
rolling on the floor, seriously! Awesome song / brit-pop satire.
I cracked up at that line too, although for me it's because the first time I heard Bastille's Pompeii I had a music video playing in my head of various scenes from The Heroes of Olympus.
Jordan's outfit at 1:48 omg she looks so good! I have a hat like that and can't for the life of me make it work but damn.
It's also nice to see her branching out from dresses! I mean, she looks great in dresses, but she looks great here too!
I love this....so much.
I PERSONALLY FEEL YOUNG AND INSPIRED.
You look so beautiful, Jordan! Also, I love all y'all's spoofy songs, keep up the great work!!!
The fact that I genuinely enjoy this as a song is concerning
Mike Hostetler we are truly teenage girl
@@cool-zd3ev this is teen boy music fwiw
@@nicholashurst780 real
OMG, love you three so much. Also, I WANT LEE'S UNICORN SHIRT REALLY BADLY.
This is amazing! You guys are truly inspiring.
You guys are so good! I love you guys!
More more more. Jordon, you're a great singer. All of you are fantastic.
Another amazing song :3 so glad you guys are back, so good!
As always, you guys bring the realism to the mainstream music industry in a fun and creative way. Thank you for hitting the "indie pop" guys with this one. I love it! Keep doing what you're doing.
You guys are amazing. I love how you are trying to parody bands like Bastille and Fun and yet make entertaining music that gets to people! Great job. And for all the haters out there..... We are so young and you are expired! :)
Miss you three!
I'm so glad I just found you guys. I heard your viral song on a twitch stream of all things, and I got led to this. I'm only 18, so I was able to relate to this one a bit more, however I find that I actually am enjoying the older music more the older I get xD. Again, I digress. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I really enjoyed the intentional comedic irony involved in creating this video and your willingness to get out of your comfort zone and challenge societal standards to make something funny and amazing. Keep up the good work! I'm hoping to see more videos just as good as this one.
what a great song and a great music video. I'm inspired to keep listening. Keep up the great work.
This music video just made me so happy. I really wanted to come to your Sydney concert but I'm broke at the moment:( love this though. Keep smiling !
I feel so inspired!
Awesome as always.
I have been actually obsessed with you guys since my music teacher made us learn the four chords in class after watching your four chords video. All of you are so talented and extremely unique. If you ever perform in Melbourne I might have to go :).
Same here.
That Edward T-shirt. Lol. Your music is amazing as always! Love your works!
Very very good. Well done team.
Wait, who's the chick? You have a new member? Nice! Also, where's the bearded fat guy? ........ oooooooooooh!
Lol
Ur looking at him well now it's a her
Don't Look I’m confused there is a girl in the video ,? God it use to be so easy 10 years ago
I love u guys u deserve more credit for what u do. I am such a big fan and I'm soooo happy for all of u (especially jordan)💘💘💘❤❤❤
Love it. Nice one.
Yes! Finally, new music. It has been so long.
Shout out to the 16 year olds who know what its like to feel pain.
A fair few years ago I heard Bastille on an unsigned radio show, and really liked them. It was pretty amazing watching them blow up into such a big band and re release all their songs I already owned.
This song is every single soundtrack to a +DevinSuperTramp video.
It's not even similar to 99% of devinsupertramp videos haha
Not the video, the song. All his backing music is this style.
I love this so much. This is my new jam
Not much parodies of this music style, but they're really needed. Loved it.
There're changes. But you guys still awesome! Keep it up!
Lol this is amazing. Love your humor haha
More AoA gold. This and Elephant were my two favourite new tracks at the concert Chatswood the other month.
Excellent. I enjoy this sort of music, but see your point.
Also I am inspired.
So Jordan is a woman... well, what can I say? Congratulations and the best of luck. Just keep being brilliant and hilarious, please.
you guys are awesome, with nearly 300k subs you still respond to comments regularly, you guys take jokes easily and rarely get offended and make comedic songs up their with weird al In my opinion
I am so inspired.
fantastic
jordan you look so pretty and I'm so happy you're now comfortable as who you are xx i really wish you the best and see you as an amazing person to look up to xx
Jordan you are so beautiful!!!
Awesome song too you guys^^
This is so good guys. I love Bastille and this was awesome because it was in the style of Bastille without trashing them. Noice
I was thinking Fun.
+Vanalovan the name was fun. The music was Pompeii
read the description, they tried to be offensive
Bloody brilliant bravos all around!
This is so inspiring
And this one´s for you Jordan, you look awesome !
Oh come on, I actually like most of the songs that you parody in this song. To be fair, I also like this song. Being able to make fun of something you like instead of claiming it's absolutely perfect is a good sign of maturity.
Wait, Lee has hair?
when did this happen?
Lee are you going to grow it longer?
does this mean you use the womens restroom now?
Lol, Jordan is transgender, and lee was wearing a wig in this, you were probably making a joke about it though, lol...
+The kittens Watch Elephant in the Room, you'll get it then.
you mean there should be a restroom for people with hair?
+Digital Beatdown oh, i get it now, lol
He uses the bathroom for men with hair of course.
Great video guys :) diggen the iron maiden shirt Jordan
All of her outfits are so rad. That hat looks amazing
looks like some people don't realise their clothes in this video are teenage outfits
they are making fun of teenagers.
+Ebon Hawk somehow Jordan still manages to make them look great, even if they are meant to be part of the satire
+Ebon Hawk
it's cause they're so young
These guys are amazing
Damn, you guys nailed it all! The whole FOMO- geared shebang!
awesome~~
2:46 "How is a crusader hugging an ancient Roman?" :-)
awesome....
Am actually inspired, though. Thanks for being awesome, Axis!
I love this...
Lee, don't dress up as a guy with hair! You're bringing me memories of who you were!
he's always known he was bald inside a man with hair's body
Wait is that Brian S Lewis at 2:42 and 2:47 cause it looks like him. He's not credited so I'm probably wrong but my gosh
this is fkn great
Jordan and this band are inspiring. Truth.
That said this video is fucking brilliant and I love the satire. So glad y'all are keeping it going. Don't stop! Also, Jordan with the fabulous fucking outfits in this vid. Damn.
this is brilliant
I like your songs~
keep going~~~
Was an awesome surprise to see this today :)
Wait, this _just_ came out, how are you *15 hours early*?
Her name is Epodcentral Mc Fly
LOL :) I was watching a playlist of Axis of Awesome songs yesterday, and right at the very end this one played - hence my surprise and excitement as I wasn't expecting it given it was an unlisted video.
loved this song.. Really think they should do an updated 4 chords song though
This is already stuck in my head all day long😂 when I sing it my brother is already like 'staaaahp'
im touched
Jordan I your hair in this girl. AoA you all really are awesome, thanks for the laughs!
AWESOME!! HEHE... On point... I think its time for you to make a new 4 Chords... please...hehee
Jordan looks amazing throughout the whole video, I love her outfits and makeup😊
This is accurate
perfect
This was an inspiring song!
Nice song! Might I suggest you start adding closed captions to the videos?
Nice Song
all of her outfits look amazing, she's so cool!
Benny where are your glasses and Jordan where did you get that hat??
This is the sequel to How to Write a Love Song
and it lets up
and In the club tonight
I'm inspired
Jordan u are do fucking awsome
I racked my brains thinking for a comment for this. All I can say is that this sums up One Direction, Bastille, and the Imagination Dragons perfectly whenever they do a song like this. Ironically, this song DID cheer me up from a crappy day so far, so cheers. : )
jordan, you look facking great. you go girl
Idk this music is so well put together that I actually am inspired
For me Benny with and without glasses two different people. I just can’t tell him apart. :/
I'm inspired by Lee's twilight shirt
