Of all the amazing music in my collection, I'm probably most proud of this one. Legitimately great music/lyrics and a cause beyond my own reach. Thanks for this great protest song and for the opportunity to help, Tim Heidecker ✊
She was poor she was just 13
She was 12 a month ago
She was living in Alabama
She was living in Ohio
She was living in Georgia
She didn’t have anywhere to go
She was young, she didn’t know the rules
She didn’t think she could say no
thought it was love and it’d be forever
In a locker room after school
She couldn’t tell anybody
couldn’t tell her mom or dad
She didn’t know what to do
All she knew was that it was bad
She was living in Alabama
She was living in Ohio
She was living in Georgia
She didn’t have anywhere to go
Told a friend who had been down that road
Told a friend she was late
And the friend said she had no choice
Have the baby or get out of the state
The girl didn’t have much money
and the boy disappeared
for a week she said she wasn’t feeling good
as she rolled up in a ball of fear
She was living in Alabama
She was living in Ohio
She was living in Georgia
She didn’t have anywhere to go
There’s a place in the run down part of town
A place young girls stay far from
She could go and take her chances
In an hour the deed be done
To the men in theirs brown suits
To the men passing laws
I just have a simple question
To the men without flaws
Have you seen a young girl dying
Have you seen em bleed to death
Have you seen a young girl dying
Have you seen em take their final breath
I've been listening to Inlets constantly for 3 weeks now. Absolutely love Hum. Can't wait to check out their older stuff now. This album definitely has it's own identity, but for the sake of reference - imagine ISIS released Panopticon in the early 90s. Inlets releases in '94 as the optimal ripple of that album's influence. I say this only as a fun idea of their sound, from my perspective.
Hum - Inlets is an all time great for me, already. Brian Rossini
