Quasi – It's Raining Lyrics 17 years ago
Yeah I don't really know what this song is about other than "stop complaining because everyone has problems" but I think there's more to it than that. I think it deserves more attention too.

Quasi – The Happy Prole Lyrics 17 years ago
Yes! I love that same line

You need the money so you got to play it dumb,
but if you play it long enough it's just what you become.

It speaks to me too because I've felt like that before - like I was dumbing myself down to get through the day at work. L:uckily I caught myself before I got too dumb... I think!

Quasi – The Poisoned Well Lyrics 17 years ago
It's interesting to compare it to Elliott Smith, and a few lines make sense that way ("you only hurt the one who loves you", "You won't live long But you may write the perfect song") but I think its just about the music industry. Die of thirst i.e go broke while playing the music you want or drink up from the poison well, i.e make the money with the corporation but kind of sell you soul. The last line, which seems the most like an Elliott reference, I think just means, you might write a famous song to please everyone, but don't hold it against him for not wanting to take part in the people pleasing business.
