Drivin round just to kill some time
Seven sins running through my mind
Invitation for a banquet feast
Take it up, time to meet the beast
Unlocked door and I’m on my knees
Told to beg for it, oh so sweet
Stolen things from the family chest
Mouth is full from the feast no less
Oh they say he works harder, oh they say he works harder
Oh they say he works harder, But he’ll never be my father
Always thought that he would be red
Not the case as I crawl to bed
Blending in with the beautiful things
Loves to dress me up while he sings
Oh they say he works harder, oh they say he works harder
Oh they say he works harder, But he’ll never be my father
Reaching out with a slender hand
Slowly turns me around to stand
I’ll be dead now, in less than ten
Strange when you’re in the Devil's Den
Oh they say he works harder, oh they say he works harder
Oh they say he works harder, But he’ll never be my father

The slashing roots rock on “Out On the Line” always makes its way to the kind of triumphant chorus that quickens the pulse. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 2, 2023
The latest from Chicano Batman has all the smoke and grit of ’70s soul, with lithe vocal harmonies and steadily-popping basslines. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 12, 2016
