If you get some time, after you listen to this rocking song, check out the lyrics. There is some real depth to what is going on here lyrically, with underlying religious and political statements. I was surprised to hear this song playing in my head this morning, but I'm glad it did, forcing me to look closer and listen better. I've had this song in my collection for some time but haven't listened as much as I should. If my life didn't revolve around a wife and four kids, I'm sure I'd have much more to say about this song.
I do know this though: I read recently that Ted Leo teamed up with Aimee Mann and they'll be releasing an album soon, if they haven't already. After reading the lyrics to this song, it will be an interesting collaboration between the two. Aimee Mann's lyrics are my favorite of any singer-songwriter. Their group is called The Both.
That's all I have to say about that.
