about

This song marks the first one that Nick and I wrote together. The lyrics weren’t supposed to be this bad, but time and my own inabilities have warped them. This is probably Science Club’s favorite song and one of the few from our original songwriting session that we don’t play live. There is another one we recorded in Joe’s backyard called “Puppy Factory” that no one will probably ever hear. Also, goddamn, do I ever say “ain’t” a lot in this song. That is ace songwriting 101, kids.)

lyrics

Well don’t worry about the future because it’s already here It’s just another car crash coming so don’t bother to steer Say hello to your frustrations you sorrows your regret and you should hold on to your socks you ain’t seen nothing yet Well this ain’t no swinging 50s this is no golden age All your cold wars seem much colder when they don’t have a name If the future is too frightening you can live in the past but taking solace in what’s promised is a joy that won’t last There’s a road and we can take it if you don’t mind the walk and I’ll keep my mouth shut if it’s too hard to talk But there’s no use in shoveling a hole that you’ll never fell and you keep saying that you won’t but I bet that you will Tell me something that you want to believe and I can show all the biggest threats that you’ve ever seen / Turn down all the volume so you can’t hear the scream / Tell you what they’re saying and what they really mean / Show you all the fractures and the cracks in the seams
