tastes like chicken, except when they taste like steak
Matt Love (bass, guitar, vocals), Leonardo Faria (keyboards, samples, vocals), Lulina (guitar, percussion, vocals), Du (guitar, percussion, horns), Bruno (drums), Six (bass), The Fazz (vocals) Ana Shio (vocals) met while working as waiters in a Brazilian Steakhouse in Washington DC. Leo, Lu, Du, Six, Bruno and the Fazz and Ana are Brazilian, Matt just pretends to be. Over time they discovered that they had a remarkable number of things in common - they were all members in bands where they were supporting talented and charismatic, but stubbornly independent leaders. Their creative lives were characterized by periods of frenetic creative activity, and stretches of inactivity.

Story behind the song
This is a song about what it's like to be a good civil servant working for the Washington State Department of Transportation.
Lyrics
Am I went along to get along Em For years it went like that Am My docile mind stayed right in line Em I bowed and tipped my hat F But something unexpected G Sprung up and spoiled the view F I said "hey! listen, people, G Let's try something new." Chorus C G I got ideas (big ideas) C G I got ideas (big ideas) C G I got ideas (big ideas) C G I got ideas (big ideas) Am They didn't change the country Em They didn't even change the town Am But they were mine so I held the line Em and everything turned upside down F At first people tried to humor me G And then they tried to shun F But when they knew I would see it through G That's when they grabbed their guns Chorus C G (4x) Am Now their circling with their pitchforks Em Their torches light up the skies Am Who's that monster they have cornered Em It's me, that's no surprise F Cause if you build a better moustrap G They'll beat a path to your door F And they'll smash it into kindling G And they'll pound you to the floor Chorus C G (4x) Chorus C G (4x)
