lyrics

Don't get your moral grounding from the Court Supreme
Don't take it from your neighbor who calls the cops on your party
Don't take it from the queen or any of her nobel narks
Don't take it from the man who calls upon you from his car

Take it from me,
I love you (and I don't love nobody)
I love you (and I hate everybody)
I do

Don't get your self worth from a picture that you take
Don't get it from your possessions or the money that your make
This culture will destroy you
It's only interest is to profit
Don't give your power to it
It's like a drug, you must get off it!

Take it from me,
I love you (and I don't love nobody)
I love you (and I hate everybody)
I do

Put my hand up to god and swear on these words
I love you forget the noise
Turn off the TV
They never cared
They never will
But I do.

I love that the guys' harmonies have more focus in this album; it's a very different balance than Expert In A Dying Field, but I like it! Kirin Martin

The sound of a great band finding their voice. I love these songs, they did some things that they probably wouldn't do now. Jack Kitzerow
