They kicked Shakespeare out of school to make more time to teach you to consume
That is all I could think of as I sat alone moping in my room
Not knowing if it helps that I might see you there
As I’m walking through this circus that thinks it’s a fair
And the only thing I’m sure of is there’s a place where
There are uncomfortable chairs that they charge you to sit in
Something I’ve been in before
They want to force kids to pray, but you can’t swear while crashing your canoe
And sometimes you’re like that, but you admit it, smiling, when it’s true
And maybe every movie is good, like you say
And maybe every year contains mostly fine days
And even if you’re wrong, I still don’t have to pay
For the uncomfortable chairs that they charge you to sit in,
And I will be in no more
Withered Hand is quieter and more straight-forward than NSPS, but shares a certain outlook. Dan Willson is one of the best songwriters around—he can make you smile and tear up in the same rhyme. NSPS
In addition to making me feel better by taking (almost?) as long as NSPS to finish a new album, swo17 washes over you with rich sonic textures. Become one with the music. NSPS
