“Misadventures of Campaign Kids” is a bit more heady in its scope and sound; the drums more boisterous, the lyrical content containing a bit more substance, and the vocals trip out around the one and a half minute mark. Instead of bah-bahs we get ahh-ahhs. There’s also a weird mention of Tony Danza being on the run in the song. I have no idea what that means in terms of the rest of the song, but I sort of like it. --Crawdaddy Magazine of Rock
lyrics
If we set our reactors to the sun,
Their plan would come undone,
The world would be reformed,
The legislation simply needs a push along.
We anticipate reactions to our points,
Before the guns are drawn,
That’s preemption of our own.
We’ll win their hearts by simply being more informed.
We’re stuck in hotels,
Watching towel girls go by
I’m stumped by your words
You laughed as one caught my eye (I’ve never been without my weaknesses).
The Patriot’s protecting all our sons,
Getting evildoers done,
Tony Danza’s on the run,
He and Mona made the list as fall begun.
Then SPring Right Into Action, up at dawn,
We’ll see that winning can be fun,
We cannot rid them of their guns,
It’s through diplomacy that real change will come.
We’re stuck in hotels,
Watching cards pass us by,
You’re down to one face
I took your Queen without trying (‘War can be a game, you see?!?!!’)
We’re stuck in the West,
Watching cow girls go by,
The night moseys in,
The Gallup’s not on your mind.
“I wish I believed that one man makes meaningful change,
But it’s you that’s got me stuck on this campaign.”
