Cover art for Flat Top lyrics by Goo Goo Dolls, The

So amazing in every way.

Again, clearly a political song. Very bitter and cynical, but it's all true. He takes no side, and he takes no prisoners. He has a very defeatist attitude about the situation, but there's really no known way out of what he's talking about.

Caustic, bitter, and brilliant. Plus the guitar work is simply amazing, and extremely overlooked. This would be the greatest closer to a concert ever. Any concert, Googs or not - doesn't matter. Love it.
