    A mixture of folk, Americana, rock, and instrumental tracks, this is Stephen's most diverse and hard to catagorize release. From the primal influences of "Old Ways" to the acid jazz stylings of "Clueless," Stephen's range is impressive. Whether singing about environmentalism, politics, God, whales, depression, or anger, all is delivered with a confidence that comes from years of making music. This is a total Berg tour de force, with Stephen playing all instruments with the exception of Todd Fugere's classic e-bow stylings on "Ultra Cool".

lyrics

Sometimes I don't understand our lack of compassion
When we take things and we use them as if they were ours alone
We build our monuments to ourselves on ancient hallowed land
Profaning it in a way that's uniquely all our own

We've learned to subdue our world in foul unnatural ways
But we know that our dominion is a fleeting one at best
As things progress beyond the norm and we close our eyes to see
Never knowing that in the end ours is a fatal rest

Standing on sacred ground unable to see the past
I hope that someday we learn a different set of rules
'Cause the ship that we're sailing on is a loaded ship of fools

(guitar solo)

I'm tired of the same old lame excuses by those in power
When they frame as a game for bullies and bruisers
As they grab more land and grub for oil and never once look back
It's more obvious that we're clueless witless brainless fucked up losers
