Violent Femmes – Old Mother Reagan Lyrics 16 years ago
The one song I would take off "The Blind Leading the Naked."

I want my angst! Not political commentary

For me *the* #1 Violent Femmes song.

btw, I always thought "Nine for a lost cause".

Violent Femmes – Just Like My Father Lyrics 16 years ago
Pretty straight forward. He learned how to be the way he is (bad) from watching his father, but he is even worse.

btw, I think the lyric after Cain, should be "...I'm not Abel." It puts Cain (the bad) with Abel (the good). Cain killed Abel.

Violent Femmes – I Hear the Rain Lyrics 16 years ago
Another version of unrequited love that their early stuff is so good at and I related to so well. I was so glad they were around so I could know others felt like I did.

Violent Femmes – Hallowed Ground Lyrics 16 years ago
The song actually starts with:

The profit is a fool, the spirtual man is mad,
For the multitude of thine inequity, and the great hatred. (Hosea 9:7 - KJV)

The verse and the song is about retribution for evil done. It is a societal commentary and then a suggestion to put trust in something Higher.
