Embed: But who could ever live that way?
(Ya hey, ya hey)
Ut Deo, Ya Hey
Ut Deo, Deo

Oh, the motherland don't love you
The fatherland don't love you
So why love anything?
Oh, good God
The faithless they don't love you
The zealous hearts don't love you
And that's not gonna change

All the cameras and files
All the paranoid styles
All the tension and fear
Of a secret career
And I can't help but feel
That you seen the mistakes
But you let it go
Ya hey, ya hey, ya hey

Through the fire and through the flames
(Ya hey, ya hey, Ut Deo,
Ya hey, Ut Deo, ya hey)
You won't even say your name
(Ya hey, ya hey, Ut Deo,
Ya hey, Ut Deo, ya hey)
Through the heart and through the flames
You won't even say your name
You say "I am that I am"
But who could ever live that way?
(Ya hey, ya hey)
Ut Deo, Ya Hey
Ut Deo, Deo

Outside the tents, on the festival grounds
As the air began to cool, and the sun went down
My soul swooned, as I faintly heard the sound
Of you spinning "Israelites"
Into "19th Nervous Breakdown"

Through the fire and through the flames
(Ya hey, ya hey, Ut Deo,
Ya hey, Ut Deo, ya hey)
You won't even say your name
(Ya hey, ya hey, Ut Deo,
Ya hey, Ut Deo, ya hey)
Through the fire and through the flames
You won't even say your name
Only "I am that I am"
But who could ever live that way?
Ut Deo, Ya Hey
Ut Deo, Deo

Through the fire and through the flames
You won't even say your name
Only "I am that I am"
But who could ever live that way?

Ya Hey Lyrics

Oh, sweet thing
Zion doesn't love you
And Babylon don't love you
But you love everything
Oh, you saint
America don't love you
So I could never love you
In spite of everything

In the dark of this place
There's the glow of your face
There's the dust on the screen
Of this broken machine
And I can't help but feel
That I've made some mistake
But I let it go
Ya hey, ya hey, ya hey

Through the fire and through the flames
(Ya hey, ya hey, Ut Deo,
Ya hey, Ut Deo, ya hey)
You won't even say your name
(Ya hey, ya hey, Ut Deo,
Ya hey, Ut Deo, ya hey)
Through the fire and through the flames
You won't even say your name
Only "I am that I am"
But who could ever live that way?
(Ya hey, ya hey)
Ut Deo, Ya Hey
Ut Deo, Deo

Oh, the motherland don't love you
The fatherland don't love you
So why love anything?
Oh, good God
The faithless they don't love you
The zealous hearts don't love you
And that's not gonna change

All the cameras and files
All the paranoid styles
All the tension and fear
Of a secret career
And I can't help but feel
That you seen the mistakes
But you let it go
Ya hey, ya hey, ya hey

Through the fire and through the flames
(Ya hey, ya hey, Ut Deo,
Ya hey, Ut Deo, ya hey)
You won't even say your name
(Ya hey, ya hey, Ut Deo,
Ya hey, Ut Deo, ya hey)
Through the heart and through the flames
You won't even say your name
You say "I am that I am"
But who could ever live that way?
(Ya hey, ya hey)
Ut Deo, Ya Hey
Ut Deo, Deo

Outside the tents, on the festival grounds
As the air began to cool, and the sun went down
My soul swooned, as I faintly heard the sound
Of you spinning "Israelites"
Into "19th Nervous Breakdown"

Through the fire and through the flames
(Ya hey, ya hey, Ut Deo,
Ya hey, Ut Deo, ya hey)
You won't even say your name
(Ya hey, ya hey, Ut Deo,
Ya hey, Ut Deo, ya hey)
Through the fire and through the flames
You won't even say your name
Only "I am that I am"
But who could ever live that way?
Ut Deo, Ya Hey
Ut Deo, Deo

Through the fire and through the flames
You won't even say your name
Only "I am that I am"
But who could ever live that way?
(Ya hey, ya hey)
Ut Deo, Ya Hey
Ut Deo, Deo

Vampire Weekend is an indie rock band which formed in February 2006 in New York City, New York, United States. The band consists of Ezra Koenig (vocals, guitar), Chris Baio (bass) and Christopher Tomson (drums). Rostam Batmanglij has left the band in early 2016 to begin solo career, but will continue to collaborate with Ezra. The band has released three albums: "Vampire Weekend" (2008), "Contra" (2010)", and "Modern Vampires of the City" (2013). The band has gained positive comparisons to such artists as Paul Simon, Haircut 100 and The Walkmen.

Vampire Weekend received much buzz from local blogs throughout 2007 during their rise to a record deal with indie label XL Recordings. Rolling Stone placed Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa at number 57 for the top 100 songs of 2007.

The band's debut album, "Vampire Weekend" was released on January 28. 2008. It was a surprise success, peaking at #17 on the Billboard 200.

Their second album "Contra" was released on January 12, 2010. It contains the single "Cousins". The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, only the 12th independently released and distributed album to achieve such a feat.

They are self-proclaimed "specialists in the following styles: 'Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa', 'Upper West Side Soweto', 'Campus', and 'Oxford Comma Riddim.'"

The name "Vampire Weekend" comes from a movie that Ezra Koenig made in the summer of his freshman year at college. You can watch the trailer on Youtube, here.
