Way To Go is all about our consumer society. I got the idea for the lyrics when watching TV one night.... I saw an ad for a new Maxda MX5 car - followed immediately by a road traffic warning showing a cyclist going through a car windshield. Then I saw an ad for Sarah Lea cakes followed by a Weight Watchers ad...
it really hit me how contradictory the media is - what it tells us we need to do, how we should behave (ie - terrorism - Be Aware - but don't be afriad... etc) - how we should look....
At the end of the day, the only conclusion I could come to was that the only way to deal with life is the fake it as best you can...
