Riff: Coheed and Cambria – “You Got Spirit, Kid”

Jul 10, 2015

Cause when the rug gets pulled out from underneath/Just embrace the fall/Oh you got spirit, kid/You’re number one/Go on living that farce/Cause nobody gives a fuck who you are

from You Got Spirit, Kid lyrics by Coheed and Cambria

C&C might not’ve aged too swimmingly into the 2010s (except to comic-prog devotees), but it’s exciting that they’re dropping their first non-concept album soon. It makes these attacks on a delusional Napoleon type that much more biting. Still, it’s not quite as catchy as an “If You C Jordan;” [LISTEN].
