Don't assume he writes about himself. He rarely (if ever) does.

I feel really conflicted about this song. On one hand, it betrays a vast arrogance, and I feel really patronized by "you shall resume your callow ways" (and worse, I feel it was meant to be patronizing)... but damn. This sounds great. And what annoys me most about it is that he's not entirely wrong.

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. My heartbeat falls in rhythm with the clock as I draw close to my prey. I leave nothing to chance, for you see it is the most dangerous prey of all, a four foot tall asshole in suspenders who won't shut up. Wait for it, Hussie. Wait for it...

What a great song. Didn't even know that this was a song they made... Heard it on a podcast and fell in love with it. Seen them live 5 times now... Really hoping they'll play this live more often... :)

Where did the audio for this video come from? It's amazing for a YouTube video.

@vervecovers Just from my camera (Canon S5IS). I was pretty close, and I've had good luck recording shows in the past. Glad you like it!
