Here We Go

I personally am offended by the comparison to the red hot chili peppers, because dispatch is so much ridiculously better than them. The live version on All Points Bulletin is so damn good, the saxophone is so fantastic. If you think the version on Bang Bang makes you want to dance listen to the live one.

this song is amazing.. I always start to dancing with this song

good running song

good, song, what the hell does it mean?

Well I think it has sometihng to do with workers and business men in the south.... don't ask me why i think that but i just see stuff in there that's political about hardships and struggle against corprate heads. good freakin song tho, even tho i don't know what it means haha.

Ok, I think I got a handle on this one. Basically, it's about the bootleggers during the 1920's era of prohibtion America. The chorus references the dry (liquor-free) towns where bootleggers would smuggle in moonshine and the like. Also, speak easies are mentioned in one of the later verses. Speak easies were the underground bars and pubs that would serve alcohol after the bootleggers smuggled it in. I think this song just talks about the risks involved as the bootleggers do eventually get caught ("so you take me away, so you take me away.")

HOLY SHIT!!! Holy shit! FuzzyPuppy, you have made this song more clear for me than i ever dreamed! THANK YOU!!!

You're definitely right though, because: I don't know why they'd leave something "on the back burner" [to hold off on something], but they'd take "it" to the "dry town"... Meaning, they'd take the alcohol to the town that's "dry" of alcohol!

Plus, the lines: "Bottoms up boys that this is the last call ["Cheers" your drinks! Last call for booze!] happy hour doesn't last too long you know it never does" [They can't serve it for a long period, lest they get arrested.] ................................................. "don't step out of line you'll get time in the brig........." [Don't step out of the safety of the pub with your drink, or they'll arrest you?]

Man, i always knew Chad like to write about historical stuff, but this is amazing! I've listened to this song for YEARS! [It was my first fav. Dispatch song!] But now when i listen to it, it'll take on a whole new meaning!

Well, i´ve sent an e-mail to Chad asking about this song, and the answer is that it really is about the 1920 prohibition era, and has to do with a call to the workers to join together and rise up against opression. Also, the song references Salinger's "Catcher in the rye" an Shakespear's "Henry V". Well, i´m reading "catcher in the rye" by now, and i´m intended to read Henry V as soon as possible... I'm using this song in a college work, and i´m searching about it's story. I´m using all your comments too!!! Thank you!!

I'd really like to understand every word and rhymes of the song...

i like the chille peppers feel to this song. I used to be a huge RHCP fan and i like the funky sound that this song has. great son and i agree about the prohibition thing
