Notes
Little Uncanny, A (Oberst, Conor) We started drinking the Kool-Aid We were taking the bait We were talking the big talk Never playing it safe Looking good as Jane Fonda On a Vietnam tank Can't get something for nothing Have to energize your base... You know old Ronnie Reagan He was a shoe salesman's son He got himself in the movies He impressed everyone He thought trial by fire Was America's fate He made a joke of the poor people And that made him a saint But he was tan enough, he was rich enough He was handsome like John Wayne And there was no one at the country club Who didn't feel the same Alternative version on the 2017 album Salutations [From Justin A. Brummer notes from RYM]
