I see color bars when I come
Sergeant Rock broke the key off in the lock
To where I come from
Sir, no sir

    Any song that name checks Bruno S. must be good.

    one of my favorite Elliott songs. It's uptempo, somewhat sad (of course), but with a defiance missing from many of his other songs ("I aint gonna go...down"). It's an intelligent take-down of his abusive step dad ("you're just some dude with a stilted attitude...") It's amazing what Elliott, with such fragility, conjured out of so much pain. So many brilliant songs.
