Biography

American Football is a rock band from Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, originally active from 1997 through 2000. Guitarist/bassist and singer Mike Kinsella (formerly of Cap'n Jazz and Joan of Arc and currently of Owen), drummer Steve Lamos (formerly of The One Up Downstairs, The Firebird Band and Edward Burch & the Staunch Characters, and currently of The Geese and DMS), and guitar player Steve Holmes (also of The Geese) formed the band. American Football reunited in 2014 and played a festival set and announced three headline shows in the fall of that year, and have since remained together. Starting with the recording of LP2, Nate Kinsella (formerly of Make Believe and currently of Birthmark), cousin of Mike Kinsella, joined the band permanently as bassist.

LYRICS

Sensitivity deprived
I can't feel a thing inside
I blamed my father in my youth
Now as a father, I blame the booze
I have become uncomfortably numb
Who's ugly side is the ugliest
Sensitivity deprived
All my sympathy prescribed
Who's hands are tied to a contorsionist
I used to struggle in my youth
Now I'm used to struggling for two
I have become uncomfortably numb
The lessons
The lessons
Are so much
Are so much
Less obvious
The further you get from home
The further I get from home
How will you exist
How will I exist
Without consequence
I'll let you know
We were gentle to begin
Then I pushed you around to break you in
Now whenever I try to be clear with you
I only end up feeling see-through
I've tried, but you've won
Comotose, like father like son
The lessons
The lessons
Are so much
Are so much
Less obvious
The further you get from home
The further I get from home
How will you exist
How will I exist
I don't want to know
Blacked out, protected
I just want you home
I'll make new friends in the ambulance
