I moved back home after being away
For a year or so
Maybe I should have stayed
It doesn’t feel like home
Nothing’s in the same place
They’re calling it growth
It’s more like decay
A donut shop on every corner
That the weeklies salivate over
It all looks like the Apple Store
The Charlie Chaplin of empty gestures
The personification of a bumper sticker
I fell asleep and woke up in hell
I want to rip the tails right off these lucky devils
You’ll never find another city with so much natural beauty
And so we kicked all the poor people out
Now there’s more for you and more for me
We do things different up here
We’re all good people, I swear
At least we pretend to care
You don’t have to remind us that we’re special
So many different kinds of white people
I fell asleep and woke up in hell
I want to rip the tails right off these lucky devils

Diverse set of power pop anthems that all feel unique in composition but share the common DNA of being fun, upbeat, clever, and full of earnestness.
This is a great record and I look forward to hearing more. Brian McCue
