lyrics
I see people on the street and I wonder
If they know what’s under their feet or hear the thunder
The rich are getting way too high
Even try to scrape the sky
Why, oh why can’t you and I?
I’m gonna bring you down
I’m gonna bring you downtown
I’m gonna bring you down
I’m gonna bring you downtown
Try getting by on minimum wage, I dare you
American slaves in the modern age, it should scare you
Trouble’s knocking on the door
You’re used to it if you are poor
Tables have been turned before
I’m gonna bring you down
I’m gonna bring you downtown
I’m gonna bring you down
I’m gonna bring you downtown
I need to look into your eyes just to feel you
No need to dress up to the nines, I want the real you
Guess you’ve never had to do
Anything you don’t want to
It must be nice to live like you
I’m gonna bring you down
I’m gonna bring you downtown
I’m gonna bring you down
I’m gonna bring you downtown
I’m gonna bring you downtown
I’m gonna bring you downtown
I’m gonna bring you downtown
Melancholic and energetic in equal parts, this album continues the trend of no New Pornographers album sounding the same. It's shaping up to be one of my favorites. heavydraws
The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'.
Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was. tideracer
