lyrics

I thought we’d be different
Had stars in my eyes
Thought we’d meet in the middle
Imagine my surprise

I tried and I tried
but you laid all the blame on me
And now I understand
We may never agree

So I'm moving on
‘Cause you'll never stop seeing red
We can't get along
So I'll just get going instead

We both knew it wasn’t perfect
but I would've been okay with okay
But when they came along
I knew something was gonna give way

I tried and I tried
but you laid all the blame on me
And now I think it's clear
That we’ll never agree

...

I held out hope for so long
I did my part
It seems like a thousand years ago, I thought we might
get a fresh start
But when I watched you then turn on me
Oh, it just broke my heart

At long last I'm gonna spill it
What I’ve always wanted to say
If that leaves a space I'm gonna fill it
It’s better that way

I tried and I tried
but you still laid the blame on me
And now I've finally realized
It's not worth it to disagree

The Landed Gentry Madison, Wisconsin

Our first album, "What They Want," is protest music for the Trump era. We cover a lot of ground genre-wise, but the songs are tied together by a melodic pop sensibility and a 90s rock influence.

"What They Want" was written, recorded, and self-produced in a basement near Madison between Nov 2016 and Jun 2018. ... more
