Gotta Love Helmet

You gotta love some Helmet and their brilliant lyrics for Broadcast Emotion. Nothing in today’s top 40 can compete with this (lyrically speaking).

I like the way you set yourself goals
The blind ambition you sport like new clothes
There’s nothing bold in the posture you wear
It’s always stunning to show you care
You’re so outspoken, the status quotient
Brought up to peak broadcast emotion
As calculated, as the news is
At least you’ve got yourself impressed
Appropriated, the concepts you boast
You love the sound of your own voice
You’re always vocal, affecting passion
Wholesale opinions will stay in fashion

Birth Defect  is another one of my favorites off this album. Good stuff. Give it a listen! 🙂

All the good that you discover
In people that you hate
Draw them close and pencil thin
Then they’re easy to erase
You’ve got it down just feed them lines
And watch them starve to death
Keep them crowded and short of air
Then you can take their last breath
I’d rather be insulted by you
Than someone I respect
If I don’t share the same view
It’s just my birth defect
All the good that never comes
From always getting your way
