Antiseptic

We recorded this little song about the MSM's nonstop coverage to the affair of someone who doesn't hold public office and isn't currently running for one -- and their lack of attention to Ron Suskind's recent revelation.

We are on tour at the moment, but we recorded this little song in our van about the MSM's nonstop coverage to the affair of someone who doesn't hold public office and isn't currently running for one -- and their lack of attention to Ron Suskind's revelation that the Vice President ordered a forged memo to provide a false Iraq/Al Qaeda link to help start a war that has killed over 4,000 Americans. Great job, press folks!

Enjoy "Antiseptic", and forgive us for being more lo-fi than usual.

Antiseptic

All in a day, the ricochet
Of salacious scandal pushes the sanguine out of the way
For overgrown boys, and corresponding girls
My hands wring out of sync with the hands of the rest of the world

So, Antiseptic, won't you wash away the dirt?
The stuff that kills, not the stuff that hurts
We'll take care of the rest if we need to
Antiseptic, while they're selling out the dead
You're curing colds while cancer spreads
Somehow never there when we need you

All in an hour, misuse of power
Will not encode within the waves that beam from the tower
The map to death's door, oh that was forged
All might be fair in love but I'm afraid it's not in war

Antiseptic, won't you wash away the dirt?
The stuff that kills, not the stuff that hurts
We'll take care of the rest if we need to
Antiseptic, while they're selling out the dead
You're curing colds while cancer spreads
Somehow never there when we need you

Antiseptic, won't you wash away the dirt the stuff that kills not the stuff that hurts
We'll take care of that when we get there
Antiseptic, common decency demands
That you focus on the injustice at hand, 'cause every story is leading us nowhere
