Yes!
Yeah
As bad as we got
It sure must be rough on rats
The world is worse than when we found it
Sure must be rough on rats
Well it's all too much
If you're asking me
It all cost too much
And nothing is free
There's too much, too much
But not enough for me
Well it's all too much
If you're asking
If you're asking
Preacher, priest or parson
Robbery, murder or arson
Is there any place for me there
I don't think so
As bad as we got
It sure must be rough on rats
The world is worse than when we found it
Sure must be rough on rats
If we're not eating
Then they must have it rougher than us
I'm sure of that
But I should stop complaining every time it's raining
'Cause I'm still not food for cats
Ask me
Well it's all too much
If you're asking me
It all cost too much
And nothing is free
There's too much, too much
But not enough for me
Well it's all too much
If you're asking
If you're asking
Wise human or simple fool
Mineral or animalcule
Well is there any home for me there?
I'm just asking
I'm just asking
As bad as we got
It sure must be...
The world is worse than when we found it
Sure must be....
If we're not eating
Then they must have it rougher than us
I'm sure of that
But I should stop complaining every time it's raining
'Cause I'm sure not food for cats
Ask me
Well it's all too much
If you're asking me
It all cost too much
And nothing is free
There's too much, too much

Jack had some fun at the Newport Folk Festival this summer. Popping in as a guest all over the place. It was fun for us all
…not what you’d call ‘accessible’ but it’s a kick ass high-energy tune with great drums and fine lyrics. Love it.

Yes definitely, but fun.
Is it just me or is this a throwback? Not complaining at all.
Yes definitely, but fun.
I dunno....It's trendy to say, but is the world really worse than when we found it?
