the expanding bureaucracy expands to meet the needs of bureaucracy
while the ghosts of democracy are quietly grinding the gears
there are people in desks looking at our checks and they won't go
'cause we're too slow, we're too slow we're too slow we're too slow
How come everything I do always turns out so wrong?
How come everything I do always turns out so wrong?
I would feel much better if you'd sing along
How come everything I do always turns out so wrong?
so I cut up my credit cards
yeah I cut up my credit cards
well I cut up my credit cards
and I threw them away
And my house got repossessed
and my car is such a mess
so I cut up my credit cards
and I threw them away
How come everything I do always turns out so wrong?
How come everything I do always turns out so wrong?
I would feel much better if you could sing along
How come everything I do always turns out so wrong?
why won't you make me better?
why don't you make me better?
why don't you make it better?
why don't you make it all better?

from THE TOWER EP,
released July 16, 2014
Special thanks to Harrison Lemke for letting me borrow his TASCAM 4-track tape recorder and giving me some tapes for Christmas.
Harrison is a singer/songwriter with the songwriting chops to back it up. It's hard to listen to one of his albums without choking up a few times. Favorite song: Aliveness. THE TOWER
This Nashville trio make ultra-catchy indie rock (in the '90s sense of the term) with taut musicianship and a freewheeling spirit. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 2, 2021
The latest from Wren Kitz, on the always-great NNA Tapes, is a study in minimalism, with barely-there guitars and hushed vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable May 4, 2017
