Overall Meaning

"Yr City's A Sucker" by LCD Soundsystem is a relentless and energetic song that repeats the phrase "Your city's a sucker" over and over again. The song is a commentary on the desire for fame and fortune that is often found in big city life. The line "Want we want is what you want/Is free TV" speaks to the commonality of the desire for material goods and superficial things. The song then goes into the repeated chorus of "Your city's a sucker/My city's a creep," which could be interpreted as the difference between the illusion and the reality of city life.

The song is a critique of urban life, an indictment of the cost required to live in the big city, which is represented by the constant repetition of "your city's a sucker". This is a clear statement that living in such an environment is a trap, a consignment to a life of unending consumption and addiction to the never-ending promise of instant gratification. The line "Your city's a sucker/My city's a creep" brings up interesting ideas of the creepiness of people living in the city, what they will do to survive in this environment, and how the people who succeed are sometimes the worst and most ruthless.

Overall, "Yr City's A Sucker" by LCD Soundsystem is a powerful song that drives home the idea that big city life is a trap, that people who live in the cities are often miserable and disconnected from one another. The song repeats the phrase "your city's a sucker" over and over again, as a reminder of this fact. However, the song is also a reflection of the desire for fame and fortune that is so common in the city, and how this desire is often a trap that leads to more unhappiness.
