lyrics

POSTPARTUM
POSTMODERN
NOW THAT THE BABY’S HERE
THERE’S TWO-MILLION
NEW CHOICES
ALL RINGIN’ IN MY EARS

LIGHTNING FAST INFORMATION
BODES WELL FOR MARKET SHARES
TUESDAY THEIR PANTS ARE TAPERED
SATURDAY THEY’RE WEARIN’ FLARES

UP ON THE CAPITOL HILL
OOH, UP ON CAPITOL HILL
I PAY THE RENT, SPEND THE REST O’ MY CHECK
ON USELESS SHIT

NEW CONDOS
NEW CONVERSE
POPPIN’ UP EVERYWHERE
THE FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT FOR COMMERCE
BUT I CAN’T BUY A THRILL

COOL SPOTS FOR CONGREGATION
GRADUALLY DISAPPEAR
WHOOPY! GENTRIFICATION
HURRY UP AND DRINK YOUR BEER

IF YOU’RE ON CAPITOL HILL
OOH, UP ON CAPITOL HILL
BEFORE THE BAR BECOMES JUST ANOTHER PART OF NOWHERESVILLE

UP ON THE CAPITOL HILL
OOH, UP ON THE CAPITOL HILL
YOU BETTER RACE IF YOU WANNA KEEP PACE
WITH THE MODERN WORLD

WOE TO THE RICH
AS FOR ME I’M GONNA STICK
TO A POOR MAN’S THRILLS

about

Jef Shocki and The Workforce Seattle, Washington

"Jef Shocki and The Workforce is an 8-piece Emerald City outfit with hard grooves, big hooks and a lot of brass. These veteran musicians have been putting in extra hours to bring you somethin' that sounds just as good as it looks. Watch out Seattle - the band mixes blue eyed soul with the attitude and edge of the Clash and Elvis Costello, and they're coming to a club that's near you."
