“G Major” is a political protest song written at a time when the US was entering costly wars under arguably false pretenses.
The song is about the fear and jingoism used to manufacture consent for those efforts. But as the chorus says, the singer “can see what’s really going on.”
G Major Lyrics
[Verse 1: Ryan Miller]
Everyone here's in trouble
Man with the megaphone
Smoke and mirrors and crystal balls and red alerts
And all because the king who hides behind the pawns
I can see what's really going on
I can see what's really going on
[Verse 2: Miller]
Everyone here's a bubble
Merrily floating on
Manicured suburban lawns and patriotic country songs
Pledge allegiance, sing along
I can see what's really going on

[Verse 3: Miller]
Everyone here's in trouble
Angels abandon guard
History is cyclical
Crusaders and the biblical
Light the torches bang the gongs
I can see what's really going on
I can see what's really going on
[Outro: Miller & Adam Gardner]
Na na na na-na
Na na na na-na
Na na, na na
Na na, na na
Na na na na-na
Na na na na-na
Na na, na na
Na na, na na

I expect it to be most people’s favorite on the album. It’s poppy… it’s kind of what “Say That To My Face” wa...
