about

Not sure what this is, really. Started out as a solid open-G Stones-y tune, took a bit of funky-pop tune, and I don't even know where it landed.

lyrics

Don’t you know you had it coming?
But you don’t seem to give a good damn
You might hear the diesels humming
To drown the pride of Abraham

So fire up every holy klieg light
Ring out all the feedback spots
Any prey that’s set in your sites
Nothing more than afterthoughts

such a sad song
Out of tune
Nobody hears you
I guess you haven’t heard the news
Stay strong
It’s over soon
The evidence clears you
Don’t you know you can’t afford the blues?
Can’t afford the blues

So don’t let all this white noise fool you
the loudest make the cheapest roar
let your finest passions rule you
Stick to what you signed up for

such a sad song
Out of tune
Nobody hears you
I guess you haven’t heard the news
Stay strong
It’s over soon
The evidence clears you
Don’t you know you can’t afford the blues?
Can’t afford the blues

And there’s a lesson to lose
But you won’t learn how to choose
So close your eyes and take aim
You know you’ll never miss a thing

such a sad song
Out of tune
Nobody hears you
I guess you haven’t heard the news
Stay strong
It’s over soon
The evidence clears you
Don’t you know you can’t afford the blues?
Can’t afford the blues
