This is one of the best songs of the 90's, one of the best white-boy blues songs in fact, including Dylan. It perfectly captures the existential dread in suburban decay. Here Beck attempts to escape via ironic stance and visceral thrills, like so many Gen-Xers, but by the last line, he doesn't sound so convinced himself. Just great stuff.
