It’s Easy To Get Bored

This is a 1997 cut off of Aftertaste, by Helmet. How prophetically it characterizes our electorate and politicians, emphasis mine:

If I’m half informed
Sympathize because it’s easy to get bored
I don’t have time to waste
I’m busy cultivating useless good taste
You need to know how to lie
The savage civil servant’s beady eyes
I can call him names
I can tell you how he hurts and cheats
And maims
Then we’ll only see eye to eye
And every breath expelled is wasted
And somebody manage the same lie
Now I’ll spread some more good news
Invented facts that you know you
Can use
Sell them door to door with
Religious fervor that no one can ignore
It’s so easy to get bored
It’s so easy to get bored
It’s so easy to get bored
It’s so easy to get bored


That buzzsaw guitar cuts with all the compassion of the tax code.

    Man, if Champagne Dream could have dressed & danced ala 2:01, that “Sweet Home Alabama” video would have been tolerable to watch.

    Smitty: Nice Helmet call, dude.

    That’s a pretty rad tune.
