Parade
KABOOM
Get it right
Get it right now
Get it right
Do it good
Get it right now
KABOOM
Get it right
Get it right now
Get it right
Do it good
Get it right now
Oh let's bomb the factory
That makes all the wannabes
Let's burst all the bubbles
That brainwash the masses
(Chorus)
As far as I can tell
It doesn't matter who you are
If you can believe there's something worth fighting for
The color of an eye
The glory of a sudden view
The baby in your arms
The smile he always shoots at you
Believing (believing) in nothing (in nothing)
Makes life (makes life) so boring (so boring)
So let's pray (so let's pray) for something (for something)
To feel good (to feel good) in the morning (in the morning)
(Chorus)
KABOOM
Get it right
Get it right now
Get it right
Do it good
Get it right now
KABOOM
Get it right
Get it right now
Get it right
Do it good
Get it right now
Oh doctor we're dying
There's no use in crying
So live for tomorrow
And do what you have to
(Chorus)
So let's pray (so let's pray) for something (for something)
To feel good (to feel good) in the morning (in the morning)

| ziggytrix (Dallas, TX) | Posted: Mar 15, 2012 - 15:37 Shirley, or someone doing a very good PR imitation of Shirley, posts quite regularly to the Facebook page for Garbage. And she says they've got a new album out in May. Just FYI. |
| WonderLizard (2,755.46 mi. due east of Paradise) | Posted: Nov 09, 2011 - 14:03 Great band. Anything but garbage. |
| Cynaera (In a hammock under my own vine and fig tree.) | Posted: Nov 09, 2011 - 14:03 I happen to think Shirley Manson is god. Sometimes. She was creepy-cool on "The Sara Connor Chronicles" as a terminator in a business suit. She did a seriously-passionate song called "Samson and Delilah," which had me wishing I could unlearn the Bible. And the whole Garbage thing was icing on the cake for me. She's one of my heroes. Good to hear this song, and this band, on RP! |

You can only appreciate the sonic quality of "overproduced" on an outstanding stereo system playing from the original CD, not the terrific, but still compressed, RP version. |

Water isn't always wet, after all. I like Garbage for the most part, and I think "overproduced" is pretty much inherently a pejorative term. So I don't really agree with what you're saying. I do however like wordplay. That was well done. |

Whoops, sorry, I thought I was entitled to an opinion. Especially as it's an accurate one. And you're right, it is about the final product. But if the final product is worse than it could be, because three (!) producers didn't know enough to know when to quit, I think that's a valid critique. Also, if you scroll down to my original post, you'll note that I wasn't so much criticizing a song as contrasting this song with a White Stripes song that followed it. I'm sure you'll agree that the White Stripes are not overproduced. :-p |

Calling Garbage "overproduced" is like calling water "wet". |

| auburntigerrich (Edge of the 'Verse) | Posted: Dec 19, 2007 - 15:20 A tasty album, by all measures. Better than Version 2.0, in my opinion. Yeah, it is overproduced, but you can't help but bob along and rock out to this one. |
| wferrier (Johnson City, New York; Home of the Factory) | Posted: Dec 19, 2007 - 15:20 Good to here some Garbage again! |

...really it's not fair to expect any less, given that the band's composed of three producers plus a recruited vocalist... |

you guys had me thinking she'd died in a carwreck or something. but a couple wiki links later i see she's got a solo project due out next year. could be interesting. |

| mrmojorisin (Salt Lake City, Utah) | Posted: Aug 17, 2006 - 10:25 People who say Garbage is overproduced... I just don't get it... that's their thing. It's the layers and layers of production that makes their music compelling, in my opinion. I like this song... LOVE Version 2.0 album. |

What do you expect from a band that's 3/4 producers :P I was mostly dissapointed in this album, but this is one of the 3 or so standout tracks. |
| reznorsgrrl (Jax., FL.) | Posted: Feb 22, 2006 - 18:17 Yea! for Garbage! Overproduced or not. Been a fan since the 1st album. Mmmm...Shirley. |
| rjs (Atlanta, GA) | Posted: Dec 11, 2005 - 19:11 This is one of my faves off this album, many people didn't like it this album, but I loved it as much as the first two. Lyrically it's sometimes weak, and agreed they're always overproduced. But still very enjoyable for me, good road trip CDs, and the overproduction works very well very loud! As always, kudos to RP - always eclectic, consistently the best. |
| bmo (Canada) | Posted: Nov 12, 2005 - 12:20 Apt name. Overproduced? To say the least. |
