Substitute Kravitz's "Mr. Cab Driver" please. We get the same general kinda idea with a helluva lot fewer (yet, some) "misters", and some attitude to boot.

A good party man!  FYI:There are actually a number of better economic systems out there, but they don't get much media traction. Try bartering! |

My point exactly. Blaming (for example) the greedy oil companies misses the point; it's the consumers who vote for whoever they think will keep gas cheap. |

I think RP needs a moratorium on hard words like "ennui" and "apologist". And maybe "moratorium"!
Clarification means neither - good point though. I'll look up the big words in the future

This song needs no apology or defending. the persons responsible for the situation (all of us, including the CEO's and Politicians) that lead him to write this song are the ones who should apologize. |
