about

The wheels have fallen off the wagon and the world plunges into economic meltdown. As horns blare in a ska-inflected singalong ending, Howl Griff ask: Who's running the show?

lyrics

LYRICS
Everywhere you go, everyone you know
Everywhere you turn, it's crash and burn
See the shipwreck as you twist your rubber neck
Live long and prosper, don't crash and burn

But there's something I'd like to know:
Who's running the show?
If the ship is going down, then it's time to run aground
The wind's not at your back, so change your tack
I'll see you up on deck, but don't go... crash and burn

Small faces underground dare not make a sound
That silence is not for me
My faith is running wild like a tantrum in a child
Forgive my trespass, pardon me

But there's something I'd like to know...

Twenty-four hours ago
I watched the wheels fall off the roadshow
So jump on the bus that drives me to you and I
Don't crash and burn...
