	A rockish tune about the "American way"(debt,bills,consolidation)versus the "American dream." Living poor and dying poorer-its all there. Can you tell that it was written around "tax time?" We've lovingly dedicated this one to all of our friends at the I.R.S.

	Story Behind the Song It's about life in socio-disfunctional suburbia. Its about selling out. One's self. One's hopes. Always achieving something for 'the man' but never for yourself. We've added just a pinch of attitude to the sauce here. Lyrics Mama's got a newborn baby boy, look at those hazel eyes Daddy got another raise today, shavings from his nine to five Like a sidewalk man but saying, "pretty please" To a storefront stranger that gets his news from a magazine And, we sell ourselves looking for a better way Angel, she's a busomed baby, yeah, look at those lovely thighs And, don't it drive you crazy, boy, shaking it as she walks by Like a back-door las that would like you to step inside We ain't got no purpose, baby, but maybe we can improvise And, we sell ourselves looking for a better way Yeah, we sell ourselves and justify And, we tell ourselves that its a chance to survive And, we brace ourselves to face the truth As we brace ourselves to race the moon Yeah, we brace ourselves to race the moon Baby's got a newborn mama, boy, look at those hazel eyes Daddy got his taxes paid today with shavings from his nine to five Like a sideshow man working for a couple of dimes And, a fortune-telling gypsy lady saying, "sorry, but we're out of time" And, we sell ourselves looking for a better way Yeah, we sell ourselves and justify And, we tell ourselves that its a chance to survive And, we brace ourselves to face the truth As we brace ourselves to race the moon Yeah, we brace ourselves to race the moon
