Middle Class Rut - No Name, No Color

Post by Fairweather Pure »

They have a single that is pretty big right now around here called New Low. This song even sports some Tom Morello style guitar play. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5GYOsKLp6o

The rest of the album is surprisingly strong as well. I half expected a one hit wonder, but I've been listening to it steadily over the past 2-3 days and the entire album has really grown on me. The lyrics are clever and the songs are catchy and rocking. They also use a variety of instruments in their music. The lead singer sounds a lot like Perry Farrell to me. Maybe I'm just crazy. Lots of passion in the vocals for sure.

Anyway, here is another song from them.

"Busy Bein' Born" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIysewIwDtE

Lyrics:
The days keep dragging on
those rats keep pushing on, woah

The slowest race around
we all just race around, woah

and when the hope's gone the weight falls on me

yeah, when I'm gone the weight falls on me

No sense in signing up, you're names already in
go ahead, yeah fuck it up, the next guy pays for it.

Cause what I get ain't half of what I give
and half don't suit me anyway

Cause what I get ain't half of what I give
and half don't suit me anyway

Maybe I sacrifice to feel like I'm alive
penniless, it's all the same
at least I'll die with a name.

I ain't dead yet

Give it back
or I'll take it

Give it back
or I'll take it

or I'll take it

Maybe I sacrifice to feel like I'm alive
penniless, it's all the same
at least I'll die with a name.

Maybe I sacrifice to feel like I'm alive
penniless, it's all the same
at least I'll die with a name.

I ain't dead yet

Give it back
or I'll take it

Give it back
or I'll take it


and when the hope's gone the weight falls on me

yeah, when I'm gone the weight falls on me.


and when the hope's gone the weight falls on me

yeah, when I'm gone the weight falls on me.


and when the hope's gone the weight falls on me

yeah, when I'm gone the weight falls on me.

Good stuff IMO and people should check it out. I really like every song on the album and that is entirely too rare for me these days so I thought I would share.

I think those guys listened to too many Janes Addiciton records.
