about

The low-fi sound of this track is due to the fact that it was originally just a cassette reference mix of a hastily-assembled demo (drums recorded on a boombox, with varying tempo), the overall sound of which I grew to like very much because I felt it perfectly captured the spirit and essence of the song, so I decided to use it as the final master and not attempt re-recording a "proper" version.

lyrics

roll the little bones they’re just some chiseled stones I call cave dice I never go too far in my jury-rigged old car but it gets me there why spend an arm and a leg on something I can fix instead the solution improvised and though it may not look nice it’s still working there’s nothing I can’t make with super glue and duct tape just a little imagination will help to realize my creation that’s for certain a dozen things in my house that you could call mickey-moused but that’s unfair though they’re not shiny and new they do what they’re supposed to and I don’t care just roll up your sleeves and apply the elbow grease with some good old-fashioned american ingenuity give me food and seven beers and I’ll alleviate your fears you’ll be a believer when I fix your receiver for free it’s on me folks today are lazy they spend their money like crazy to buy new things the stuff they had was fine they just couldn’t take the time to work with it they could save a lot of cash ‘cause the old stuff’s built to last the junk they make today isn’t worth half what they paid for it and when I fix a part it holds a place in my heart don’t let me hear you saying that it’s just a piece of shit it’s not that
