LYRICS
Every day, the deficit grows
You spend more than you own
Papa always said to me
"Keep a close eye on your authority"
You say that you care
I was unaware
You say that you care
I was unaware
All you do is push, pull, tear
We can't stretch it any farther
Push, pull, tear
We can't stretch any farther
Every day, taxes increase
So is this our land or is this our lease?
Papa said, "Son, it's the land of the free"
As he broke his back trying to make ends meet
You say that you care
I was unaware
You say that you care
I was unaware
All you do is push, pull, tear
We can't stretch any farther
Push, pull, tear
We can't stretch any farther
Push, pull, tear
We can't stretch any farther
Push, pull, tear
Yeah
You say that you care
I was unaware
You say that you care
I was unaware
'Cause all you do is push, pull, tear
Oh, all you do is push, pull, tear
Oh, push, pull, tear
We can't stretch it any farther
Push, pull, tear
No, no
We can't stretch it any farther
Push and pull, tear
We can't stretch any farther, no
We can't stretch it any farther
Push, pull, tear
We can't stretch any farther, no, no

[@HHicks44]

Kind of inconsiderate to set your mom’s living room on fire..

[@hangfire5005]

It was a music studio in Seattle, so the title is confusing..

[@dude4173]

@@hangfire5005 he’s literally explained the story multiple times and it’s definitely his moms house, unless he’s lying? They did this recording to send to Kimmel. It was never supposed to be released but they said screw it after Kimmel didn’t respond. This video being released subsequently got them a spot on Conan.

[@andreaellerbeee]

Nah mama loves that kinda fire

[@donnat4650]

Lol

[@heart6884]

😂🤣😂

[@slayerbecky7609]

I wonder why this guy isn't getting enough recognition in the music industry

[@rustyfo1]

Slayer Becky Probably because his lyrics often are social commentary as opposed to just ass & titties.

[@maybewise]

rustyfo1 Bet you're fun at parties.... But seriously, lots of people are popular when they've never made sexually degrading videos. That specific type might irk you, but it doesn't make up the industry.

[@danmeme7740]

Slayer Becky Probably because its been done before. He's not doing anything original, its a copied sound.

[@maybewise]

dan meme Right?. It's basic R&B. And rarely do great R&B singers get their due recognition. It's just the way it works.

[@amberd6942]

Slayer Becky One of the reasons Allen is not getting recognition is because he is from Seattle. Seattle has a lot of great musicians and Artists that are not recognized. This stems from lack of local support and the industry not taking notice of the area. Most of the artist who made it that came from Seattle had to leave Seattle. Artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana, Sir Mix Alot, Bell and James. The latest and Greatest Maklamore had to leave and do college gigs to get a following. But Allen Stone is great and deserves a lot more attention for sure.

[@johan4398]

His vocal range is wider than my future.

[@beautyler4339]

From his mother's living room! If I were his parent I'd be in the corner crying tears of joy thinking that I made such an incredible human. This had to be an incredibly special moment from her point of view.

[@johnrawkstaugh]

If I am not mistaken, this was a video shot before a two week west coast run, and Conan O’Brian saw it and immediately booked him, followed by another late-night show. Dave Matthews signed him, and the rest is history. I know this, because my best friend was asked by Allen to go on this quick run playing drums. My friend was in a band and already booked for that period. Allen said, “we will hook up another time.” Went to moms, made this video and now is a star! Oh, universe....

[@sheila71072]

Touched with your comment.. I so agree.. My daughter sings, composes songs, plays instruments, I am just so proud of her... Give me goosebumps each time I realize she's a gift.

He can sing anything, and make it amazing

[@darlagreene2805]

His parents are Beyond Proud of Allen Stone.

[@angelad599]

Shit, I'm proud of him.

[@fbetty2500]

I remember my husband and I sitting on our patio on a sunny day and discovered him messing around on KZbin. We were both like "what? Who is this dude?" We looked up all of his songs and listen all the time. If you like Allen please support, share and go to his shows so we can watch him rise, it will be worth it to our ears

[@wheetie69]

Allen is the truth, I saw him on one of the late American idol episodes, looked his songs up as well, damn, this white dude can go. 2020, still listening. My fav is Brown eyed lover.

[@JOELAFRICK]

He's amazing in concert. Go see him.

[@sweetnika83]

I remember sitting in my room with this on repeat. I thought there was a longer video but I can’t find it.

[@beth6288]

Here i am came across this talented soul 2 days ago , havent listened to anything else in the last 48 hours cant believe hes been performing this long and ive just been blessed with his gifted talents 💫

[@Divine-Sage]

I love him so much, I watched him back to back in Boston.

[@CGagnon5]

Papa said "son it's the land of the free" as he broke his back tryin to make ends meet this might be the greatest lyric of all time.

[@kristopherwente5722]

+CGagnon5 he was free to break his back to make ends meet. Without freedom, he wouldn't even be able to do that. I loved the other ideas in this song, but that one did not resonate.

[@CGagnon5]

Kristopher Wente you completely missed the point of the song then. In the words of Allen Stone: "I wrote it in the heat of the Occupy movement, and it sounds like an R&B love song but it was a protest song about the way I feel the government operates in this country." The line right before the one I quoted originally is, "Every day taxes increase So is this our land or is this our lease?" He's saying the government is always asking for more money from the people (for things like bank bailouts) and meanwhile people are struggling just to put food on the table. How free can we really be when we can barely make ends meet? hope this help.

[@kristopherwente5722]

+CGagnon5 yah- I got it. I was trying to say that the inference that a man is struggling to make ends meet means he is not free is bollocks. The struggle to make ends meet is the soil of freedom. Freedom comes with struggle. Many can't even struggle to make ends meet. In America to be free to actually make ends meet is also the freedom to NOT make ends meet. I loved the other points he was making, but lyrically, he, in my opinion, took a misstep with that line specifically.

[@CGagnon5]

Kristopher Wente I get that there are plenty of countries worse off than us, but I couldn't possible disagree with you more.. The definition of "freedom" should not stop at "ones ability to work their entire lives to put food on the table" It kills me to know that some people will never get to retire.Imagine being in your 80s or 90s looking back and adding up all the hours of your life you sold to a company. Then try to think how much you'd pay to get those hours back. I'd bet that time s worth much more to you than the minimum 7.25/hr that companies are offering. How can we ever really say we own anything or that we are free when such a small percentage of the population ever makes it out of debt. Most people live their entire lives owing money to someone (house, car, etc) That doesn't sound like freedom to me

[@GreenGretel]

+CGagnon5 Let's not get carried away, lol

[@leroymartin-mcewen9559]

he goes up three semitones, an octave is 12. an octave would be extremely high. Though i entirely agree, gave me goosebumps

[@JulianTirta]

Brian Weller an octave has 12 semitones, which in the piano is the alternating white and black keys. Its called an octave because there are 8 whole notes in one octave. Hope this helps :)

[@leroymartin-mcewen9559]

JulianTirta well said.

[@Mejoree113]

JulianTirta Whole notes sort of implies whole tones which is incorrect. The major/minor scale consists of 7 notes, the 8th being the 'octave', the same as the first note. C D E F G A B C in C Major for example :)

[@laquitabwatchn]

I want this version!!!! It's better than the album version

[@denisela3403]

I brought the apple version. It's good, but not as good this.

+La-Quita Barnes You can find sw that will pull this video off youtube then you can find another sw to extract just the audio. Message me if you need help with it.

[@kasmeneyes2227]

youtube mp3 is the answer

[@Lannz31]

Agreed!!

[@EvanRobert]

My mom thought this song was about giving birth after hearing the chorus. Can't stop thinking about it now... "Push, pull, tear, can't stretch it any farther."

[@leggoego]

Hey maybe "mothers living room" is innuendo for uterus haha.

This will always be my favorite Allen Stone song ❤

[@wanghaf_Gl0yper]

I was driving the truck through the New Mexico mountains listening to this for the first time in years today, bout brought a tear to my eye

[@kimlee2995]

Saw this young man about 15 years ago, ( I thought it was 10, but my daughter reminds me it was more like 15) doing a live short set in Pioneer Square in Seattle. It was part of a live music lunch concert series, put on to introduce upcoming artist. I remember being absolutely blown away by his talent. During a break in the set I approached him to tell him how gifted I felt he was and that his vibe put me in the mind of Stevie Wonder. He was so humble, gracious and said he truly appreciated that. This guy is the real deal. The entire set was flawless soul. What a gifted musician Allen Stone is.

[@tbee1575]

What a nice story. I would have loved to have met him.

[@myhumanlyfefilterd3788]

Apparently I was completely “UNAWARE” that this gifted human existed!! I’m so here for you ❤️.

[@volkerd714]

The vibe and energy on this session and take is off the charts. Coming back a decade later in 2021!

[@biggienorm420]

Damn I listened to this 3 times b4 I realized it’s not like a breakup song... but he’s talking about the government.... this kid got it.

[@gailowens5609]

Dude! Me too! The is the most romantic song to the government ever.

[@RM-gm7lu]

Hahahaha he got you!

All I hear is underwear. Every single time. Push, pull, tear…can’t stretch it any farther…

[@deronrippatoe3609]

Man I said the same thing years ago when I first saw the video, been a fan every since

[@-themercyseat]

The "whoooo" @ 4:12 made me feel like I was in in the band. All of the members have such groove and talent. Tip of my cap to all, serious players the lot.

[@schmo9425]

This is music. Soul. Keep doing this, brother. You've nailed your sound with this.

[@itisi4347]

I always come back to this

[@Andrew-op9se]

One of my students turned me onto this song -- spent the whole lesson working on it. Best lesson I've ever taught. That E at the beginning of the last chorus kills me -- and then you kick it up to F#. Goosebumps every time. One of the best tracks I've heard in years - and definitely one of my favorite music videos of all time.

[@Arizona9001]

He's even better LIVE.

[@TheHumbleking718]

Benjamin Kham will go see him soon I missed him at the Apollo

[@michaelwalsh8581]

I could not agree more. His show at the Apollo was the best show I have ever been to. The man has incredible soul, sounds just as good if not better live, and is one hell of a performer.

[@kellyanneyoung-moeke3634]

Michael Walsh ikr there needs to be more singers like him. full of soul and rhythm

[@evanwhitney7453]

This recording was live

[@cedargroves]

We seen him last year in San Antonio Tx. He WAS even better live !!!

Allen should have some Grammy awards. I m so jealous so so. He is so soulful its too much to handle!

[@Alyssa-tv7py]

I clicked on this man just out of curiosity. Amazing soul in his voice. Wow. Just wow

[@BajanMadrid25]

1st time in my life, I'm hearing this song...& from the 3rd note, I had to stop my multi tasking, too see who is this...& I've lost count how many times, I've said DAMN, DAMN, DAMNNNN...this is absolutely STELLAR, I was blown away. This is precisely why I play random Acoustic playlist...hoping to find absolute diamonds like this. You guys should be performing for millions but trash is the in thing with today's media/people, how sad. I just want whoever uploaded this Joy to life gem...that, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@saltyavocado403]

This song is so underrated..... Like if you agree!

This guy NEVER disappoints!! Always on point....NO OLD SONGS!! ❤

[@somekid7]

I'll never get tired of this song. It's been a year since I first stumbled upon it, and since then I've shared it with almost everyone I know, I've gotten goosebumps multiple times while listening to it alone, I've put it away, re-discovered it, and now I'm back here again. :) Legendary, classic performance. I'll be proud to say that I grew up listening to Allen Stone and the musicians behind him.

[@creex7118]

Gotdamn! This song is mad blazing!
