New money rich kids only talk about what they have to show
No one ever seems to worry about the course of their culture
They sing about their indulgence and it should bore us
But our inner children never seem to grow up
They never talk about their feelings
They never say what they mean
And if they do we criticize them
What do you want from me?
Nobody ever wants to listen
Everything I say is wrong
It's so hard to keep their attention
And write original songs
You'll never please the public
And please the critics too
Plus they'll label you a sellout
Even if you ever do
So go back to college
Get a real degree
There's no money anymore
To be made in the industry
I just wanna hear my kind of music on the radio
Just play me something I would buy at a record store
If there's any soul in the mix, they kick it away
And now the kids don't care about what we have to say

I'm drowning in her
I'm melting away
A pool by the end of the day
She's a vixen to earn
Talks about Nixon's burn
I'm fixin' to learn
Ooh, she's my puddle girl
Maybe if tomorrow held something more
Maybe then I'd feel more secure
I don't know if I can last forever
But I'll stay here and enjoy the weather

Dog

You stuck me outside, but still
I'm your dog
You pop the door open and I run along
Stick me in the front seat on a short leash
'cause I'm still just your dog
Take me to the park, I sit in one spot
By your side
Guess I'm just a loyal dog
We play fetch, I run out to get it
I shit in the house, you make me sniff it
Stick me out in the yard, I've been a bad boy
I sulk around and gnaw on my chew toy
Kick me or beat me; pet me or treat me
I'll stick around, I'm still just your dog

Haven't seen a new girl in a long time
Let's see if she'll take some things off of my mind
Hope she's not planning on staying a long time
She's not the one I've got stuck on my mind
I hope I'm not leading you on
I hope that there's nothing wrong
I hope you know what I aim to do
I wish that I could just tell you
Let's get drunk, and let's hump
I don't wanna think about things like love
We'll test our luck, and we'll fuck
Let's see how we feel when we're done

All the business execs are dying of laughter
'cause they know it's love we're really chasing after
They promise us things, like the American Dream
Then market us products for our low self-esteem
Don't think I don't know that it's a shame to admit it
Most of us would rather just forget it
But those same suits, if you asked them the question
They'd say love is the bond they'd really like to invest in
Have you heard about Tinder? or what about Bumble? No?
You gotta be cool, but you gotta stay humble (whoa)
How's that new face cream?
Does it feel like the man of your dreams?
How's that moisturizer?
Do you think of how our lives were?
Hey, what about soul food?
Get some, with a new dude
And then call me later
On an iPhone, great, or
Meet me in person
Things could be different
If we saw the things we seek
Aren't rooted in materiality

Doubt

Wish that I had a place that I could call my home
Sometimes I feel that I should just live alone
Why must I fear everything I can not know?
Where can I go when I'm still stuck with my soul?
I wanna find somewhere I can call my own
I don't believe in love
It's gonna chew you up, it's gonna spit you out
It's gonna wear you down, It's snuff you out
I don't believe in love
You're fine now, but it looms round
If you should break up, you might break down
Looking back, I was irresponsible
Moving forward often seems impossible
You walked away, you left me vertical
If I don't call, know it's nothing personal
I hate the past; I wish it was reversible

Big ups and hard downs race through my mind now
Forgetting the middle, only a little
Highs and lows and highs and lows
And taking off each other's clothes
And which is which only we know
Will I ever fall in love again?
Right now it seems uncertain
In a moment, I'm hopin'
In a moment, I'll know then
If it's passing or if it's lasting
Somewhere, somehow, she's alone now
Somewhere, somehow, I'm gonna find out
Moving forward with momentum
Becoming someone to depend on
Ugly moments, we can mend them
I want to fall in love again
Should I stay, or keep movin'?
In a moment, I'll hold you
I know that I'll know soon
If it's passing or if it's lasting

Your Ghost

Started long ago, we were different people back then
Started letting you go, and started changing again
Lately, I don't even know myself, I'm sure I don't know you
How many hours in my cell, not knowing what I wanna do?
I've since forgotten your smell
Remember we were close
Hope you're doing well
I'm giving up your ghost
Hope you're doing well
I've given up your ghost

Some of the most genius contemporary songwriting, arrangement, and production. Always helps when I'm feeling down to cheer me up and make me feel less alone.

Rick Alvin is one of the greatest experimental pop musicians of our time. The way he synthesizes ideas baffles me. This one is a little weirder but, dang, that first track, man.

If it weren't for this band, I probably wouldn't make music. Seriously.
