	Story Behind the Song The motivation for the song was the disrepair of the social and political fragments of our society. The song was written in Ted's home studio in State College, PA. The lyrics were intended to be a cynical narrative...however, fans have brought many different meanings to the words. We usually work on songs for a long period of time until they are perfected in our minds but the core beat and words were done in a night. Lyrics HEADLINES Not History (McCloskey,1998) You‚re behind in all the polls I guess it‚s time to save your soul Desperate measures lead to unforeseen adventures in damage control Like death without parole And corporate rock and roll Was it just an oversight that you threw out the baby with the bathwater? You‚re tripping over your feet Blurring the lines of free speech Making headlines not history You‚ve got a new world order With unlimited resources Reprimand the helping hands that try hold their heads above the water And there‚s no apologies No regard for casualties If there‚s a price on someone‚s head, you‚re a willing bounty man with an open pocket You‚re tripping over your feet Blurring the lines of free speech Making headlines not history You‚re so preoccupied With your hands around your prize Did you ever notice that you‚ve drifted far beyond the shallow waters?
