about

a song about history repeating itself. google "august 13, 1979" and note the articles about the stock market crashing, the auto company ceo's asking for bailouts, Jimmy Carter's meeting with factory farmers and grocers to discuss inflating food prices, the oil drilling in colorado... and you'll understand the lyrical content of this song.

lyrics

august 13, 1979
tree trunk airplanes falling out of the sky
the warning signs, the words on the wall
ashes, ashes the king of diamonds will fall

the king of diamonds will fall

so long, so long
so long, so long

3:15, inflation's growing the grain
field to table, truckbeds, transports and trains
at 10 past 4, the meeting adjourns
the years roll on, diminished returns

the ceo
with hat in his hand
we'll drill to meet
the oil demand

we'll do it the same
we'll do it the same
we'll do it the same

the same
