They sound like a bunch of early 20 century Marxists. All bought into the theory that we are all owned by the capitalist class. If we could just throw off our chains the world would become a grand red utopia.
I guess they missed the history lesson where we got to see what a true horror communism really was.

A nice clear statement of the Situationist's vision of the Society of the Spectacle. If only Guy Debord could have written so clearly and accessibly...
Oh, and nice ass :o)

This really needs to get removed from the rotation.

I really wish this song was not in the line up, can I give it a -10?
Loving it! I used to marvel at their tongue in cheek style. More Timbuck 3!
This is their song, The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades

I think he is talking about a self righteous person who is justifying what they are doing

Or it's a cynical thought that people who actually get up and go to work are suckers because the system's gonna chew 'em up and spit 'em out.

Wow do I not agree with this song. WTF is wrong with taking pride in your work?

Yep and the lead is flat most of the time. I think they were sending a message of some sort with this track, but the incomprehensible and hackneyed "radio track" in the background is hackneyed or something.
Is the recording intentionally overly compressed? Sounds very short and squat.

Ummm most definitely not. Its just so boring.
Loved "My Future's So Bright...". These folks should stick with the lighthearted stuff they're good at - this sounds like they're in waaaay over their heads.
One of the few Top 40 acts of the time that managed to approach relevance. Love it. 8
Lame.
...significant bonus points for exceptionally-crafted phrasing...
These lyrics sound like they were written by a teenager who fancies himself very intelligent because he just discovered the writings of Allen Ginsberg.
Yeah!

I've been trying to make the same point as this song for as long as I can remember.. Next time i'll just play this song.
to each his/her own...though the vocalist sounds like mark knoppfler which is ok, solid 4
I remember these guys when they appeared on our local Austin access TV channel.
They just stood there with a jambox on a barstool between them and it sounded very similar to the finished product.
That whole CD is great btw.......
Flash back, this sounds as good as did in the late 80's.
BILL - - YOU ARE THE MAN - - I JUST COMMENTED ON PAT MAC ABOUT 3 SONGS AGO REGUARDING DEPECHE MODE..........................GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE..............PAT IS A GREAT FRIEND OF MINE AND HIS NEW SONGS ARE SOME OF THE GREATEST..............GET THEM WHEN HE GETS THEM RECORDED...................
Man, I haven't heard this in well over 10 years.
...timely...

There are many options between no-holds-barred capitalism and communism. For me the song reflected quite well the fed-up feeling of the Reagan years. We're still paying for that disaster of a president.
