lyrics
The Company News
Baby baby I'm all alone
I try to call you on the telephone
I try to call you but you just ain't there
Another time another place somewhere
Maybe my baby just doesn't care
I try to call the arms company man
He just left for Vietnam
He said I'm gonna try check you out later
I'll check ya later, alligator
I ask my sugar to just stay cool
Keep the little and break the big rules
I try to tell her but she just say no
She turns up her stereo
I guess that's just the way it goes
I ask my mama to walk with me
While I tell her 'bout the factory
And all the crazy crazy white man's plans
He sent my money to Vietnam
He sent the black man's money, the purple man's money
And everybody's money to Vietnam
I guess I better call Superman
I ask the lady on the video tube
About the world falling to pieces blues
What it's like to wear four billion shoes
You know, she wouldn't listen to the company news
She couldn't listen to the company news
How could I blame the poor stupid fool
She wouldn't listen to the company news

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
