about

Arranged and produced by Dan Elkan.

lyrics

Unsatisfied
with just being a liar
I became the world's worst preacher
preaching to the world's worst choir

But I could not maintain
such strict standards of quality
so I ditched my flock
and mocked them for believing me

Resenting the choice that is forced
to either be unwashed or great
as though we'll grow bitter and old
or remain in these golden states

I made modest attempts
to get what I had required
from impartial points of view
I came close and then retired

But I learned to compromise
or to fake it convincingly
I advised the little ones
just to keep calm and carry me

Resenting the choice that is forced
to either be unwashed or great
as though we'll grow bitter and old
or remain in these golden states

Yeah, remember where you come from
and how we got where we are now
by doing what we had to
for as long as time allowed

It's not a question of succession
or whose coattails got nailed down
we're the latest in a long line
of lucky little towns
