about
This tune is another departure for us, a bit of a Motown/60's feel to it, but we played around with it and it seemed to work so we went with it! Again featuring the saxophone stylings of Zeek Gross
lyrics
Disposable lighters, disposable pens
Disposable diapers, when will it end
Disposable clothes, disposable hips
Disposable faces, disposable relationships
Throwing out the baby with the bath water
Walking on a fine, fine line
A generation more than any other
Running out of time
Chorus
Paying one debt with another
All my sisters and my brothers
Paying one debt with another
You gotta pay it off – pay it off
Running in circles or haven’t you heard
I can’t see through the smog
Time to stop following the herd that’s heard
Get off that high hog
Chorus - SOLO 2x
Foreign exchange, international debt
Some relief from domestic regret
Sorry it hasn’t hit me yet
I guess it hasn’t hit me yet
Disposable diapers, when will it end
Disposable clothes, disposable hips
Disposable faces, disposable relationships
Throwing out the baby with the bath water
Walking on a fine, fine line
A generation more than any other
Running out of time
Chorus
Paying one debt with another
All my sisters and my brothers
Paying one debt with another
You gotta pay it off – pay it off
Running in circles or haven’t you heard
I can’t see through the smog
Time to stop following the herd that’s heard
Get off that high hog
Chorus - SOLO 2x
Foreign exchange, international debt
Some relief from domestic regret
Sorry it hasn’t hit me yet
I guess it hasn’t hit me yet
