Pulled this out of the box with a flashback of "I think this is a bad album". Sometimes I'm wrong. After all, it has been years. Slapped it on the turntable and after the first 2 songs I was thinking, man this ain't that bad. But it was all downhill from there. Not a thing after that worthy of mention. Once again previous impressions remain intact. This would be album #11 in the soon to be defunct Funk. The lyrics aren't too bad, dealing with the title subject matter. Vocals are traded off between Farmer and Brewer and Brewer wins that battle. The album reached #47 on the charts with singles of Take Me (#53) and Sally (#69). It is a cool cover though.
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - Genevieve
Best Track - Dues
I think I'm headed for a terrible accident.
Made more plans than anyone who ever paid their rent.
I'm not stupid and I might be havin' too much pride.
Surgeon general has determined that I may as well die.
Jesus are you watching or have you gone blind.
Evil souls are upon us and we're surely runnin' out of time.
CHORUS
I tried religion and some holy roller steals my tenth.
In the grave yard I ain't strong enough to jump the fence.
Some men they say they got more soul than both my shoes.
Makes me wonder can we ever stop payin' dues.
I might be workin' on a scene that I can never act.
Everybody's gonna think that my mind is cracked.
I don't care because it's my right to win or lose.
Makes me wonder can we ever stop payin' dues.
Crazy, am I crazy for wanting so much more.
My mind says I can't ever give up but I still can't be sure.
CHORUS
Can we ever stop payin' dues.
Can we ever stop payin' dues.
Can we ever stop payin' dues.
