lyrics

I am calm collected and cool
Do you remember the summer that kid drowned in the swimming pool?
I talk deliberate and direct
There were a couple weeks there where everyone was pretty upset
I don't worry about catching my breath
I only worry that everybody will forget

I give praise where praise is due
What's left to do when you've lost everything that you can lose?
I try to remember to smile
Even the sun can shine too bright once in a while
I don't worry about catching my breath
I only worry that everybody will forget

That life's not over yet
And it's not as depressing as it's going to get
But there's no alibi to justify
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
Accounting for the wasted time
And the I could do withouts

Poignancy has recently eluded me
And pointedness is hardly the equivalent rhetorically
Am I just scared or am I writing what comes easily?
I am solely

Ashamed that I know I'm right
Men beg change at every major intersection on Rockville Pike
Embarrassed that all that I do
Is stare straight ahead when I'm waiting to turn and just bought my food
I worry about catching my breath
Because it sometimes helps me to forget

That life's not over yet
And it's not as depressing as it's going to get
But there's no alibi to justify
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
Accounting for the wasted time
And the I could do withouts
And I am waiting for everything to click
Or people higher up than me to take care of what's important
At least the first step is admitting it

A Rhythm In The Cages (2009)
by The Taxpayers

supported by 5 fans who also own “Old Old Georgetown”

One of the more sprawling and eclectic albums in the Taxpayers catalogue, A Rhythm In The Cages isn't as airtight as some of its siblings, but it is absolutely bursting with incredible songs. Punk, blues, folk, noise, and unclassifiable weirdness abound. "Militaristic Kitchen," "Dig Too Deep," "Cuyahoga Canal," and "Stealing Apples From The Man" are all eccentric, hooky classics that will live in your head for days. There's really something for everyone here. K.R.K.
