DRAG ME AROUND
by Cavedwellers

(In which the striving fake-Rolex-wearer from Semiprecious becomes the new manager who shuts down Clyde’s murderous friend’s smoking section, as described In Pareidolia)

I know a guy who knew a guy
And now I’m on my way
Gonna trade my gold-tone counterfeit
For a genuine Day-Date
You’re gonna see some changes
There’s a new sheriff in town
What’s that smell? You cannot tell me
Smokers are still around?!

I’m gonna shut it down, shut it down
Fly your flag, I’ll cut it down
Another flag to drag around
To tread on and to trample down

Someone better know what’s best
And I’m afraid that’s me
And no authentic freedom
Suits these libertines
Who fill their veins with syrup
And their lungs are tarry-brown
They watch misinformation
Gonna shut this nonsense down

Shut it down, shut it down
Fly your flag, I’ll cut it down
Another flag to drag around
To tread on and to trample down

I’ll take this job by the throat
I’ll change the things that get my goat
My goodness gracious! Get in line
HR won’t save you, you are mine

Shut it down, shut it down
Fly your flag, I’ll cut it down
Another flag to drag around
To tread on and to trample down

Love the big ol' drums. Improves any Jethro Tull(circa "Under Wraps") pastiche. Once again, it goes on a fair bit without getting camp enough, but hey, that's a long-standing complaint that you rightly take so notice of ...

I read your liner notes and almost immediately gave up on trying to follow the specifics. This feels like Coheed & Cambria, where I know there's a decently well-thought-out story undergirding the songs, but I enjoy it a lot more if I make the choice not to worry about following the thread. You've more than earned the benefit of the doubt and my faith that you know what you're doing. One connective element I can't help but notice and appreciate is the factory/machinery noise percussion element. This song contains one of your best vocal performances that I've heard, and that "Shut it down / shut it down" chorus is one of the strongest hooks of the week. This one benefitted, probably the most of the round, from repeated listens.
