about

Social commentary as a flimsy excuse for wild improvisation. I always wanted to write something with a Bo Diddley beat. Our worst lyrics or our best, depending on who you ask. Food for thought, in unusually blunt style.

lyrics

I've got a screwdriver in my back pocket
but not for industrial sabotage
I've no intention of poking your eyes out
or building a time bomb in my garage
I just need to tighten up a screw
it's just a tool
and it's only as bad as the use you put it to

I've got a claw hammer here on my tool belt
but not for defacing a statue's nose
I'd never break out a store's plate glass window
or smash in the skulls of some average Joes
all the nails fell out of my left shoe
it's just a tool
and it's only as bad as the use you put it to

I've got a bulge in the front of my blue jeans
but not for committing a violent act
it won't be used to oppress or exploit you
nor as an excuse for my lact of tact
I just want to make sweet love to you
it's just a tool
and it's only as bad as the use you put it to
