Bret brought in some of his love for, "Math-Rock" on this one. He had the verse and bridge/outro parts. The horns hit this real hard and the rest happened real organically. As usual, Casey nailed the vocals.
lyrics
It doesn’t matter if it never happened to you anyway.
If there’s no one around to fend for your soul.
With your head in the sand you’ll testify to anything ‘cause you know just how the story goes
But never once was the question posed to ask of anyone
The fifth amendment would surely be put to use
If the truth ever leaked out it would threaten everyone - everywhere
Everyone but you
Shut it down. Turn it back around
That little king inside your head yeah its time to tear him down
If you don’t act now – you’ll be bowing down to his vitiated and boastful crown
His tyranny is all our own
Convinced ourselves we’re nothing without his throne
And we’ll never let him be shot down
With a desperate hand we’re reaching out for anyone
To give us what we want, not what we need
When the well runs dry, I’ll rush to blame anyone
Anyone but me
We gotta!
Shut it down. Turn it back around.
That little king inside our head, yeah, it’s time to tear him down
If we don’t act now – we’ll be bowing down to his vitiated and boastful crown
Oh – This insanity infects our souls
No – Ego trips will get us nowhere soon
But we’ll never let them be shut down
No we’ll never let it be shut down
No we’ll never let it be shut down
We better let em be shut down
But we’ll never let him be shot down
