about

Michael: "This was maybe my favorite track. I had roughs of it and was listening in the rental car when I was driving across the nowhere to go out and see my Mom before she died. It's really personal, in a way, for its time. And I was listening to a lot of mid-period Clash, their really underrated period in my opinion. I was so proud of that line "when you'd give anything you own/or could borrow/not to follow". I thought it was Strummer-esque. Sigh..."

lyrics

Set to try
Just not that high
For losin' it.
Black and bruisin' it.
Can't be missed.
Won't be second-guessed
Against your great success.
And if it mighta divided everyone on your side
You don't mind.
Any adjustment
That'll help to close the sale.
You don't mind.
They set you up just to fail.

Paint it up in glory
Just like a story
You already know the end to.
It's not so much that you've been cheated
You've been deleted
Like they told you, too.
Just like they told you.

"Ooh, can't be missed!
That must be right!
At any price!"
But their advice
When you take it all
On faith, unseen, unknown
Comes as no surprise
To wake and find
We're only on our own.

There's not an excuse left that anyone here can use.
Whatever you choose
It comes up spent.
Like last night's amusement.
Or yesterday's dollar.
And not til this hour
When you'd give anything you own
Or can borrow
Not to follow.
