About the song
An introspective protest of late 1980's U.S. comsumer materialism and the apathy that led us to the first Gulf war without question. The song is as relevant in 2005 as it was in 1991.
It was a local radio hit in Detroit.

Lyrics
It's Ten o clock on Sunday Morning,
and I can't hear the bell
Wondering where the sun dissappeared to..
...oh well.
Chorus:
Listen to the way the rain hits the gutter,
hard to behold it, shapely but inane;
Listen now fellas - to truth or consequence,
hard to comprehend it, just the same.
Keeping the though - wait- what's the hurry?
The idea didn't jell...
Let's go watch T.V. and see Baghdad burn,
Maybe a little later we can try to learn!
You saw those girls laughing, hey what the hell do they know? Besides spending money and driving around.
Look here hey people, hey what's going on? Could be my imagination but I'm going down...
and I can't hear the bell
Wondering where the sun dissappeared to..
...oh well.
Chorus:
Listen to the way the rain hits the gutter,
hard to behold it, shapely but inane;
Listen now fellas - to truth or consequence,
hard to comprehend it, just the same.
Keeping the though - wait- what's the hurry?
The idea didn't jell...
Let's go watch T.V. and see Baghdad burn,
Maybe a little later we can try to learn!
You saw those girls laughing, hey what the hell do they know? Besides spending money and driving around.
Look here hey people, hey what's going on? Could be my imagination but I'm going down...
