Wrong Side of History 4:30
An homage to 20th century low-lifes, pool-hustlers and con-men, this modern rock anthem has a driving rhythm and sultry, hooky vocal.
Comparison - War on Drugs

lyrics

I love to play the innocent virtue with a hint of sin easy crime
Wash my hands of everyone leave before the job is done I’ll just get mine
It’s easy that way until someone gets wise to the con
Knock on my door by morning I’ll be gone

Started when my mom was sick hocked our TV got the slip from ‘95
Born a hustler on that day had to grind it out to keep us both alive
When the needle took her down the only one who cared was gone
Ever since then I’ve been moving on

Join me on the wrong side of history twentieth century small time
Forget the rich I’ll rob the poor
Go ahead indulge me tell me you love me
When I leave you’ll beg for more

Odd jobs in a rusty car pool sharks in a rundown bar pass the time
Keep my patience pick my spots only take the cleanest shots and I’ll be fine
Sometimes I’ll meet a girl who wants to take my burdens on
I’ll lighten hers by morning I’ll be gone

I’ve been out of style for decades and I ain’t turned thirty yet
But I’ve got camels in my shirtsleeves I’ve got pommade on my head
There’s a midnight cowboy complex for a girl in every town
I offer special service just lay your burdens down
