I saw a man in the street today
Went up to say hey
Began telling me
Of a catastrophe

He started talking about a man who talks like a boy
Went into speaking about a daddy's boy
The taxes are so high
For him and people of his kind
I saw a ceo
In his brand new house
The tax cuts sure helped him out
Keep the money he made with his dirty hands
Take it all from the common man

They call him W.
I call him dumb
The call him W.
I say when he was young
His daddy was just warming the seat for him
He is the leader of our country
Yet he is nothing.

It is such a shame
That the greatest country in the land
Is in control of this man.
People must be biased to vote for a man so dumb.
Even when the opponent is a boring one.
And when it comes to important decisions.
He is more concerned about polls and reaction.
Than the death toll in that Iraq land.
Will it help me in the next election?
Is this man's only question

They call him W.
I call him dumb
The call him W.
I say when he was young
His daddy was just warming the seat for him
He is the leader of our country
Yet he is nothing.

And then when he selected Ashcroft
It was a mistake like no other
A point back with Powell
But has nothing right else.
He likes the big companies.
He''s their good pal.
But when it comes to the environment.
He says emphatically CUT IT DOWN.

They call him W.
I call him dumb
The call him W.
I say when he was young
His daddy was just warming the seat for him
He is the leader of our country
Yet he is nothing.

    thank you. ok, here's what i'm thinking (as if it matters huh.) flat tax rate. i'm sure you know what that is. it's one flat percentage. see, if i make 100$ a week and the flat tax rate is 10%, they take ten dollars right? ok well, i fi make 10,000$ a week, the flat tax rate is still 10 percent, but i hafta give 1000 dollars. see, that would be almost fair. but as is, if i make more money, they take a higher percentage. like at minimum wage it's about 26%. and at around 22$ and hour it's about 36%. so not only are they taking more money from higher paid, they're taking a higher percentage. i dunno, i just wish there was something that could be done. and Bush is the closest i've seen to a president trying to help small business owners. that's why i took such offense.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
