In what I view as an homage of bad band names, the ever lasting, poets of punk, The $wingin' Utter$ are covering I Got You Number by the classic British band, Cock Sparrer. The Utter$ were one of the first punk albums I bought way back in '96 or so. I have always loved there music and lyrics. The lyrics tend to be both extremely straightforward but also very poetic - not just your archetypal typical punk rock tunes. At least to me anyway. But this is a cover... so what I am talking about lyrics for?
I chose this song today to reflect my thoughts on the current state of American politics. Assholes in Washington playing with real peoples futures so they can toe the party line. On both sides of the aisle. Typical millionaires having no idea what is going on with real people. If all the annual percentage rates on my loans and credit cards go up, I really don't know what I will have to do... kind of scary.
