Rosenworcel/Miller
Music
Miller/Gardner/Rosenworcel/Pisapia
Producer (album)
Ron Aniello

 Album Version Sessionography
Adam Gardner guitar, vocals
Ryan Miller guitar, lead vocals
Brian Rosenworcel drums
Joe Pisapia bass

Notes: "[...] sounds a bit like sloppy Led Zeppelin with Ryan's voice over it. [...] Special guest co-producer Ron Aniello helped salvage the situation by importing the opera vocal takes [by Maria] into the outro of the aforementioned untitled rock tune, where it seemed to fit better."
Live Version (listen to a VBR mp3)
We're not sentimental
We're just oil-filled machines
Trying not to say the things we mean
You gotta show us a little love

Our big brother tells us
That it's something in our genes
Pretty soon we'll all be coming clean
So start showing a little skin

I'm the judge and jury
I'm the lion and the lamb
And this is the beginning of the end
It's breaking you down
We're breaking you down

We're unrecognizable
We're sunken submarines
Trying to escape before we're seen
You're gonna miss us when we're gone

I'm the judge and jury
I'm the lion and the lamb
And this is the beginning of the end
We're breaking you down
We're breaking you down
