We are The Dutch Uncles. None of us is, at this point, Dutch or an uncle, but we had to have a name. Think about it, how can you ask your friends if they've heard that new song by ? We recently finished and put out 1000 copies of a CD called "The Ghost of Everything". It's really good. We're very proud of it. We wrote, recoded, mixed and mastered evreything ourselves, at home, with a little help from our friends. You can hear all the songs and other bits of fun stuff on our page. We're confident you will enjoy it. We hope you tell your friends. Thanks for visiting. Peace, TDU

Lyrics
Start the Engines How'd this get so convoluted How did I get stuck between these lies You're damned if you stand up for something Fucked if you just let it all slip by Feeling like it's all been said and done before But every they're taking just a little more Surely there is something left worth fighting for This more than aggravation This is freedom ticking on the clock And no one wants to hear complaining But no news isn't good news, it's just blocked Trade it all for what's behind door #2 For comfort and convenience, they're selling you It's easier when someone tells you what to do Someone wake the captain 'Cause this ship is headed for the icy deep Driving while intoxicated And everyone on board is fast asleep If you just stay out of it You'll never have to guess who's on your side And if you keep off of the wagon No one's gonna take you for a ride Someone shake the emperor And tell him he's not wearing any clothes And all the subjects smile and bow And tell themselves that that's the way it goes So fling the doors wide open And never fear the immigrants of change And watch out for the silver lining 'Cause everything that's new at first is strange It washes in and washes out once in a while The sick of it and hungry put the rich on trial It's easier if everyone thinks it's in style Someone start the engines And realize we're all in the same car Everyone's a passenger No matter if we travel near or far
