Now the end of the world has come upon us The sky is falling down on us again There's panic filling every city street 'Cause we believed the words of weathermen We long for our history Where the lens is smeared with Vaseline And the days are golden Bathing in the sunlight of our memories You think the end of the world has come upon you When you are all alone at night in bed You used to think about the man you'd marry But now you'd settle for just anyone instead And you long for your history... Just because things are the way they are now Doesn't mean they'll be that way forever Just because things are the way they are now Doesn't mean they'll be that way forever It's to our shame that we never moved on Because nostalgia kept us all from moving on Now the end of the world has come upon us So we throw our hands up in defeat Cash is dead and Billy Graham is next Ninety-nine sheep hear one lost, little bleat And we long for our history...

Oh my son Don't bow to what you make And don't stress out When the money's late Don't call this home This is where you live You're just passing through So don't you settle in It's something I thought that you should know Don't love it so My father made me My father gave me strength He gave me wisdom He gave me everything He said... "Don't call this home"... Oh my friends Is this your attitude? Because you're strong When the truth's in you And there is one That you have overcome But I bet you won't hear his name When you turn on the news

Withe 03:01
All my life I rush to finish what I write Sometimes words Bleed together as I type Well just once I want to work it into the page Just this once And take advantage of my mistake Withe And make "withe" a word Find a use Making it multipurpose Like a slur Coined into a common cuss Well just once I want to work it into the page... The definition of an empty cause Will from this day forth Be pronounced "with uh" Give up the withe Withe and work it somewhere into the page Withe and work it somewhere into the page I will make it work

about

When we ordered 15-min cassettes for its release, our vendor told us the tsunami in Japan had backordered every tape. "We have some 45-minute tapes we can send you instead at no extra charge," they said. We felt ashamed to have worried about stuff like tape-length when it came as a result of a major catastrophe. Petty problems, indeed.

about

The Summer Country Nashville, Tennessee

"The Summer Country is an easy blend between alt-rock and punk – a four-man band based out of Nashville, TN. Isaiah Kallman (guitar/vocals), Nick Johnson (guitar), Brent Bishop (bass) and Josh Jackson (drums), form a diverse yet cohesive group. A live show is not to be missed – you might see a drum cymbal slice through a power cord. Just ask them about it." - Linda Wyman ... more
