about: This is a revamp of a song that I wrote back in the mid-90's called "Understand." I recorded it back then, and it was on some of the home-made "Shuteye" tapes I made available for a while. Most of the rest of those songs got re-made for "Any Raw Flesh?" and "Salve", but this one never did. I was always dissatisfied with the melody/lyrics of "Understand", so I never used it for an album. I've always liked the music, though, and for a while I thought about trying to farm it out to another vocalist to sing.

This week I just decided to make an honest attempt at a re-write, and I'm pretty happy with how it came out.
lyrics: I have seen the truth
And it doesn't make sense
I have seen the anchorman
And he's wearing no pants
Who ya gonna believe
Who ya gonna believe in
Watch and learn
Follow along with the bouncing ball

Hanker for a hunk of
Slice, or slab, or chunk of
Something more substantial
Than sunshine filtered black and white

Did what you said
Followed the rules
Never once asked for any proof
Looking a bit silly
Feeling kinda used
I'm not the only one

Who ya gonna believe
Who ya gonna believe in
Watch and learn
Take a first step in a larger world

Did what you said
Followed the rules
Never once asked for any proof
Looking a bit silly
Feeling kinda used
I'm not the only one pissed off at you
Hope that I'm wrong
Honest, I do
I just need something
To look forward to
And on that day, I'll be happy to say
That you can color me corrected
