Still the best album of the 2000's.
One of my all time favorite songs. Ever.
If this was the 'Country music' the US exported overseas, then a fuckload of people would like it, rather then that shit we think we hear.
This song has some of the smartest lyrics of Hood’s , and I have to give Cooley the smartest lyrics of DBT award.
If I could solve the worlds problems, probably start with hers and mine. They can put a man on the moon, while I'm stuck down here just scrapin by...
I always loved it, especially live. He don't always put it out there, but when he does you hear the anguish in his voice!
One of the best songs ever
Patterson Hood is my favorite singer for DBT's. His voice is biologically designed to deliver the Southern Experience.
Total bad ass, and fantastic song here as well.
I will give you that, but Cooley writes poetry and delivers it amazingly
gavin dies
He does, indeed. Like him too.
I like his voice less than Cooley’s and anyone that has sang more than 2 songs for them more than him, but I totally understand what you mean.
Isbell, Hood, Cooley in that order. I miss Jason... Dirty South is one of the best albums ever by any souther rock band
Wesley Crandell edit: one of the best albums overall.
Such a great album, the preacher on tv line is so true.
It's really interesting how this song expresses the same discontent as "Whitey on the Moon," that humanity seems capable of incredible feats but the poor just end up stagnating, forgotten and discarded. Same message, decades apart, from totally different perspectives and genres.
We fight the same battles. We should fight them together.
noticed this as well
Hmm. Never heard of that. Thanks.
Patterson says that Whitey on the Moon is a big influence on this song.
I know everyone says this kind of sh*t about every band and artist, but these guys really are the most underrated rock band in the last twenty or so years. Them and Kurt Vile are the most overlooked/underrated, imho.

Awesome song, heard it for the first time in 2004.
Thank you for the video.
A fine story telling lyric, beautifully done.
So many times it is the feel, the verse, the lyrics dance- this one socks me in the guts, as with my American icons all- tells a tale so well. Really wish more did.
fuckin beauty.
some true transcripts in this song
what a great find(for me)
My county is the setting of this song
2020 and loving this tune
So true.
Awesome, rock on!!!
So powerful
The nearer any disease approaches to a crisis, the nearer it is to a cure. Danger and deliverance make their advances together, and it is only the last push, in which one or the other takes the lead.
I'm too rich to die, take those peasants ...
Patterson's angriest song I think
He has had many. A lot are very angry, but it matters what you think, put I think you are pretty much correct.
These cats put Alabama into words.
So good
Stay out the way of the southern thing
I wonder how you sleep at night
What do you mean?

And they're still just puttin' people on the moon.
Seems very legitimate... at least today it does...
Mary Alice she quit asking why I do the things I do~
God damn Reagan
I say ... let 'em stay there
"Over there in Huntsville, even NASA's shut down, too," though Richard Branson and Elon Musk seem hellbent on vying to take the anger off of NASA and put it onto themselves these days.
And I wish I was still a outlaw was a better way of life I could clothe and feed my family still have time to love my pretty wife ...
👍
Meanwhile, here in Huntsville....
Still as real now, it's just that it could be a lady's voice doing a cover.
another joker's in the whitehouse
lying sacks of shit
#FJB
soundtrack for occupy the south
Bad news bears
I love this band, under rated for their lyrics as well as music, just too many popular hair and tush bands out there, we can't have a great band get fair notice and play time until ...well I once heard it in a film, Charade, it was, and Cary Grant tries to charm Audrey Hepburn, (yeah before my time too- I am a seeker so time and place no worries, I seek-) and he asks to sit at her table, like a friend, and her response is something like: "I have too many friends already! I can't possibly have any more friends until some of them die." Hmmm. well, I don't aspire to abide false limits, and there is music that plays in my head, I sometimes let it out. There is music plays in my head- actual music by actual bands, and players, and I listen many times to get the meaning in each layer, the sound of it all, mixes with my mood and location so this one is special, as I was working hard on the otherside, when my most beloved caught her last- died inside, of herself where I could not protect; and I fear no beast, no demon no man- I fear not even my losses, though I lost my most beloved, I am thankful for the time. I was in a very dangerous place, had to be the monster inside myself to help the others there, and get us all out. In this way, been to 50 + countries and I come back to find I have lost more than I could wrap my head around. Some of us are hunted, and there is only one way to slay the demons we must face. We dare the maze of the minotaur, and we find only the warped world in the mirrors, so we go... as we must. Yet it is a cost.
"PSYCHOSIS BY OSMOSIS"
So sane once the madman spoke.
So mad now, my belief.
Psychosis by osmosis.
This my worn and weary smile;
sits upon my face
like the Arctic oil slick;
sick by reflection…
I have seen the greasing of the wheels
with the blood of soldiers and slaves.
Nero looks back up at me
from the puddles on the walk.
Oh, where did I inherit these demon eyes?
Was it the dreaming or the horror?
The dreaming or the horror.
Perhaps my nightmares wake up with me
and eyes and ice are one and the same;
as I see with my visions apart
myself watching me…
Yes, I offered you a hole in the wall
for your honor to escape through:
Yet as the mad ones teach me all about self-serving insanity
do I become insane myself.
Yes, I become insane myself.
For all I am shown, -should the martyrs tremble
with wasted feet on once-hallowed grounds;
…and a tear of death let go from an eye of Enola Grey…
…and I am swimming in glass, as the mirror reflects
something I once saw - a horror in the eyes of an angel.
No, the babies won’t drink
from the curdled maternal well.
Terra mama we have betrayed the faith,
and our saints do walk among us
on slippers of thorns,
with the future only
a sick reflection of ourselves;
psychosis by osmosis
-and the milk of human kindness
turns to blood.
~eterno amore~

I always wondered why he sang “NO insur’nce” instead of just “IN-surance”
Even Jesus said 'you will always have the poor'.
Oh for christ's sake. A big part of this song is that the government seems to have misplaced priorities (viz. "puttin people on the moon") that don't seem intended to help its people. The Obama administration and its allies in the Senate have fought tooth and nail to protect the social safety net. I mean, the narrator decries Ronald Reagan, in opposition to whom so many of the GOP sought to define President Obama. What about how he "can't afford no in-surance?" Boom. Obamacare. Problem solved.
One of my all time favorite songs. Ever.
Ask me again I'll tell you the same!
