Credits/Backstory:
A handy flash point for the roll back of American democracy is Ronald Reagan’s inauguration in 1980. Since then we’ve been in fast reverse, speeding towards the Middle Ages in our luxury cars, lowering standards for all but the very rich. — Jon Peckman, drums; Johnny Java, bass; DickNeal, guitars; me,JV, guitar and distorted vocal.

Lyrics:
It’s in your TV, it’s out on the street
everywhere you go, everybody you meet
we keep gettin’ number, we keep actin’ dumber
workin’ real hard to pull down the bar.
You couldn’t raise that LowBar with a crowbar.
It keeps comin’ down.
LowBar.Everybody cheats, you should too
everybody steals, why not you?
do whatever you like, to get whatever you want
don’t ever forget, you deserve the very best.
(Go for the gold.)
You couldn’t raise that LowBar with a crowbar.
We keep dragin’ it down.
LowBar.Don’t try to raise it, you’d be amazed it’s
what we crave it’s the way we live, nowadays
you get busted, you lose your friends’ trust
if you show your disgust, at just how low we go.
(Forget about it.)
You couldn’t raise that LowBar with a crowbar.
It keeps comin’ down.
LowBar.It’s all about markets and gettin’ your share
it’s all about good tits and perfect hair
try cookin’ the books like the big time crooks
cosmetic enhancement will increase your advancementlow-rent obsessions with high-end possessions
keep us all guessin’ and beggin’ the question
just how low can we go?
