[C] Right, now, when we go out on tour [D] we like to kind of change the music we play and try
and find new things in our old wardrobe of songs.
Sometimes, by mistake, you might drag out a skeleton.
We dragged out a skeleton this time and tried to hang some meat on its bones.
We love playing this one.
This is the first time this band has ever played this song in front of an audience.
So it's a special one for us.
Shall I announce it?
This is Election Day.
