The New World



X's "The New World" has been running thru my head since I woke up. Perhaps more prescient now than it was upon it's release 25 years ago, it's lyrics are killer:

“Honest to goodness
the bars weren’t open this morning.
They must have been voting for a new president or something.
Do you have a quarter?"
I said yes because I did
“Honest to goodness
the tears have been falling
all over the country’s face.”
It was better before, before they voted for what-his-name.
It was better before, before they voted for what-his-name.
This is suppose to be the new world.
