You might want to sit down for this one. The song is “Bored In The USA” and it’s the first single from Father John Misty<\/a>‘s upcoming album I Love You, Honeybear<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A biting spin on Bruce Springsteen’s “Born In The U.S.A.,” “Bored In The USA” is a scathing takedown of the mindless materialism and overmedicated emptiness that has come to define the lives of far too many Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Father John Misty’s indictment doesn’t end with capitalism and pharmaceuticals. He also targets organized religion, deficit funded greed, our obsession with physical beauty, a broken political system and the failed promises of the American Dream. It’s a plainspoken but take-no-prisoners assault on the veneer many people hide behind as they run out the clock on their otherwise meaningless lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Save me, White Jesus,” Father John Misty pleads. “They gave me a useless education \/ A subprime loan, Craftsman home \/ Keep my prescriptions filled \/ Now I can’t get off, but I can kind of deal \/ Oh, with being Bored in the USA.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
