Well I may need a new muffler but I got plenty in the tank
Ain’t it a shame I can’t plug it in, I got petrol kings to blame
There’s oil in the water but damn I like to drive
It ain’t too hard to be framed a martyr with no room to compromise
Angelina, oh mine, we’ve been working overtime
And I’m tired of handing power to the machine
Put your keys in and drive, lets try out override
Find out what this life can really mean
Do you hear, do you hear truth through lies
Can you see, can you see that dust rise
Angelina, oh mine
Angelina, oh mine
Ignorance ain’t bliss when there’s death upon our shores
Ain’t it sick that they don’t listen to experts anymore
There’s power in the hands of far too many men
Gotta do what we can to change the trend and make it proportionate
Angelina, oh mine, we’ve been working overtime
And I’m tired of handing power to the machine
Put your keys in and drive, lets try out override
Find out what this life can really mean
Do you hear, do you hear truth through lies
Can you see, can you see that dust rise
Angelina, oh mine
Angelina, oh mine
There’s fire in the fields, ain’t too much to bail
I got a feeling who lost the deal, the family farm’s for sale
Our mother may be sick but they got budget needs
There’s no downward trickle when the top is fickle with investors to please
Angelina, oh mine, we’ve been working overtime
And I’m tired of handing power to the machine
Put your keys in and drive, lets try out override
Find out what this life can really mean
Do you hear, do you hear truth through lies
Can you see, can you see that dust rise
Angelina, oh mine
Angelina, oh mine
Angelina, oh mine

I made a blind purchase of the cassette edition from my local Half Price Books, and the download card that came included with it was still valid! VOIDMAKER.EXE
A very clever songwriter and an album that bears many, many repeat listens. Worth the price for the Little Feat reference (in Tehachapi) alone, but it's her way with an image that sticks longest. "You left the building in a flurry / Had your boots on in the house." Caoimhín
The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
