Break ground.
Buckle down.
It's time.
Yeah, it's time for the party to make some sound.
Let's move from this underground,
Shed some of this blacklight to surrounding towns.
How much responsibility do you bear
For the ill uses others might make of your ideas?
Almost as much responsibility that you'd bear
If you failed to speak your mind
When it might have made some kind of a difference.
So make a difference.
Could you make 'em dance
Turn your bleeding hearts into some bleeding hands?
Line up.
State your name, state your claims, claim your stakes.
If you wanna fight with us, you've got to refuse to please the game.
Look ahead now.
Oh, let the countdown usher
The philanthropic minds to speak up now
And scrape the paint that hides the crimes
Of a silent kind.
Look up
And make a difference.
But the right difference would mean
The bleeding hearts would got to be turned into some
Bleeding hands from solid lands.
Yeah, can you make 'em dance
And keep an upright stance?
Is the position that you hold
One that could parallel
A synergistically greater plan?
Or would it force us all to be packed into a can?
How much responsibility do you bear
For the ill uses that the others might make of your ideas?
Almost as much responsibility that you'd bear
If you failed to speak your mind
When it might have changed things.
Let's move from this undergound
Blare some of this blacklight
Through their socket pride
Where their eyes used to hide
When they had sight
Now only servin' as a path
For us to maybe reach that height
With a word
To make a difference.
Come on, let's make 'em dance,
Turn their bleeding hearts
Into some bleeding hands over solid lands.
Now, can you make 'em dance
And keep an upright stance?
Or has the premise of your cause
Been rooted in a slopin', quickly given golden sand?
'Cause the collapse you'd cause would pull us down with claws that don't let go.

One of my favorite "unknown" (by most, it seems) albums. The promised follow up album from Republic Tigers never came, but this one is definitely a keeper and one of my favorite finds of the last 10 years.

I just love how this thing bucks and hums with its frantic breathless rhythms and I dig how it sure does take some nice vocal dexterity out for a flashy spin and I feel it in my skin how it claws with the right ideas at just the right times and my mind endlessly reels at how it forces all these really killer issues, man, and I do think it's a truly awesome piece of work, and I find I can hardly wait for some new stuff from these rocking KC cats!

Compliments to the DJ for a terrific transition from U2's I will follow.
I think this is cool. 7->8.

This song always makes me think of Barbershop quartets.
How about we call it Barber Rock?
Awesome... I'm off to buy this one... Thx RP for introducing me to RT.
I could listen to this while doing ANYfreakin'thing and still find myself nodding and tapping and humming and digging the POWER of the words AND the music... Like any really great song, it fits any occasion and comes up jamming.
Happy New Year RPers!

Sounds good.
This is a great CD. Fine songs all the way through.
Enjoy the festive season. Be nice to yourselves, your families, your communities. Self-medicate safely!
Reminds me, sometimes, of The Shins.

Hey Bill, If you haven't already, you should follow this song with 'Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)' from the Raising Sand album by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. They do flow together well and there is that Sand connection. 
I just love how this thing bucks and hums with its frantic breathless rhythms and I dig how it sure does take some nice vocal dexterity out for a flashy spin and I feel it in my skin how it claws with the right ideas at just the right times and my mind endlessly reels at how it forces all these really killer issues, man, and I do think it's a truly awesome piece of work, and I find I can hardly wait for some new stuff from these rocking KC cats!
I like this song and I don't. I can't explain it. The stream-of-consciousness lyrics grab my attention, then make me wince and look away.
getting to really like this song
Stupid song - great cover!

Right on. Let's not redefine our terms to suit our needs now! From Dictionary.com:

a bleeding heart is a liberal, specifically one who speaks loudly about problems with the world and professes sympathy for those wronged (the rough-rough definition).

I dig it! I didn't listen too closely to the lyrics but I liked the sound... the rhyme scheme.. funky but not too funky...
Whatever or whomever they sound like. . . it's really good!!!!!

Really? On a word-by-word basis yeah, sometimes it seems to me like the singer is looking for sound pairs. But overall it seems pretty clear. Turn your bleeding hearts into bleeding hands: a bleeding heart is a liberal, specifically one who speaks loudly about problems with the world and professes sympathy for those wronged (the rough-rough definition). Bleeding hands means hard work.
So rather than just talk about the ills of the world, work to make a difference.
Then the whole question response "how much responsibility..." is the singer trying to eliminate one excuse for inaction: what if I tried to help and someone turned what I did to evil advantage? It's worse to not try and help—he says. And most of the rest of the lyrics are the same: hey you kids at the clubs (the blacklight, underground) with your strong political messages—do something! Be active about what you talk about. And do it before we all get dragged down by the evils (the claws bit at the end).
Easy.
Yep, that's it. Thanks.
I'm in the 'shut up and work' school of thought, so this song really resonates with me.

I love Interpol, seen them live a few times. Don't find them pretentious mind you. That said, did observe quite pretentious behaviour from Carlos D at an after-show once. Thinking about it, I also remember seeing him once walk on stage wearing a man bag...dressed like Daniel Day-Lewis in Gangs Of New York. I didn't think pretentious then, I thought what a twat!, but I didn't think pretentious...
...that after-show party story of mine, that was quite pretentious wasn't it.
I hear a bit of Interpol, only not quite so pretentious. That's right Interpol, you're pretentious. Said it.
Oh. I see I already said it. Before.
Oh. I see I already said it. Before.
Pretentious musically or in the way that they carry themselves, so to speak? This track does scream Interpol, thought it was first time I heard it. I've got the album, its OK but only one other cracking track springs to mind.
I love Interpol, seen them live a few times. Don't find them pretentious mind you. That said, did observe quite pretentious behaviour from Carlos D at an after-show once. Thinking about it, I also remember seeing him once walk on stage wearing a man bag...dressed like Daniel Day-Lewis in Gangs Of New York. I didn't think pretentious then, I thought what a twat!, but I didn't think pretentious...
...that after-show party story of mine, that was quite pretentious wasn't it.

All nice efforts, but if you appreciate the lost art of building sets you're in the best spot on the planet.
This song gives me the time to ask "the public":
Is RP the only station of that (eclectic) quality,
or are there other of the same style/kind...?
Not that I want to switch or change,
but would like to know!

I hear a bit of Interpol, only not quite so pretentious. That's right Interpol, you're pretentious. Said it.

I also like Buildings and Mountains from this CD ...
Hmm..pretty good. A 7. Reminds me of the Shins a bit.
7—8

Haunting and awesome. I must buy this album. This singer's voice reminds me of Interpol, only a lot less contrived. How joyful.

It beats their song about playing air guitar for sure!

I freakin love Gary Newman. I remember going to laser rock shows at the planetarium in Denver (family lived in Boulder) in like 1979 and "Cars" was among the Pink Floyd and whatever other cool stuff from the time. Those laser rock shows were great!

I'm loving this band more and more with each listen. Their vocal arrangements are superb.

And someone please tell me:
what the hell is so special with this band?
Frankly? I find them being RIDICULOUS from A to Z!

Doesn't age well. In 2022, you will get Cancelled if you follow this advice.
LOL! I like the rhythm of the 'imperative'.
This has to be the most amazing one album-hit band music I have ever enjoyed. The music has aged really well IMO.
Not sure that America has aged so well.
