	Surly rock tune with a distorted rhodes rhythm section and a huge guitar sound. All about the dangers of large groups of stupid people.

	Story Behind the Song This song came about after a particularly frustrating day at work! It always has bothered me how people that follow the status quo can get their way even when they're wrong, just because people are more willing to accept ideas that don't push their minds too far from what they are comfortable with. Yelling and complaining at board meetings doesn't normally get me anywhere, so what better release for my frustrations than to write a song! I had Howie add the killer guitar part to give it a "meaner" flair and I think he was very successful. My brother Dave added the acoustic guitar part that really adds an extra dimension to the song also. Lyrics Don't know how I could miss it Woke up and it was true Hear 'em calling the shots now Their words are hardly new Failure is the only shame What went wrong and who's to blame outside the lines it has to go cause we gotta protect the status quo you see Well their strength is in numbers can't hack it on their own and their words are impressive while mine are monotone but their loud and languished tale only makes a flimsy paper veil for the magic boxes they declare when you open them up well there ain't nothing there you see chasing after my ideals while they marketed their happy meals mocking their simplicity but the game has been called and the joke is on me you see
