about

Another pretty pessimistic song I’m afraid. This is the first song I wrote after leaving the Subhumans in 1981. I wrote it just after quitting a horrible job working for a tyrant of a boss in Jasper, Alberta. Julie and I had moved there thinking that it would be great to live in the mountains that we loved, but we came back to Vancouver a few months later with our tails between our legs having had a very bad experience there. We were both pretty depressed and disillusioned with mainstream culture at that point. Six months later, we had joined Direct Action.
