Written on acoustic guitar. It's about ecology or something. The last verse is obviously from a shampoo commercial.
Russ sez:
The recording is from an evening when the studio wasn't quite healthy and we had to double up on tracks.
Surprisingly, the performance and recording was good enough to keep.
There are two acoustic guitars playing exactly the same thing panned hard left and right.
Towards the end they differ a bit.
Consider yourself lucky that we didn't keep the munchkin chorus at the end of the song.
Listen (normal):
Listen (acoustic):
In my car in a traffic jam Don't know where I'm going, don't know where I am Got ten thousand people 'round me doing the same And I got no clue of who's to blame Everybody's racing and rushing around Nobody seems to be in the right part of town So I'm wondering, thinking while I sit on my ass Why I work so hard just to pay for the gas... to go Round and Around, again and again That brings us back where we started Round and Around, again and again That brings us back where we started I drink the water from the kitchen sink There's chemicals and pesticides in what we drink And when it goese through us, we flush it down To the sewage treatment plant on the edge of town Some of it's processed,some of it's pumped Some of it's better, but the rest gets dumped And when it hits the ocean you can watch the fish die It evaporates, precipitates, I'll tell you why... it goes Round and Around, again and again That brings us back where we started Round and Around, again and again That brings us back where we started Guitar Solo Round and Around, again and again That brings us back where we started Round and Around, again and again That brings us back where we started I try to be good and environmentally sound I know that everything I do will come back around But there's so many people and so little time And there's one strange thought I can't keep out of my mind: Suppose I conserve, and you do too And we tell two friends and they do too Is a better world within our grasp? Or are we already breathing our last gasp... to go Round and Around, again and again That brings us back where we started Round and Around, again and again That brings us back where we started
