According to Ian MacKaye, this song’s working title was “Runaway Train,” after the 1985 Jon Voight/Eric Roberts film, which was a favorite of the band at the time this song was recorded. The song title was changed so as not to be confused with the Soul Asylum song of the same name.
Autonomy
Is a world of difference
They're creeping round but they know they can't come in
Back from the front
With observation
It is still there
Across from me
An extreme example
Bringing you what they want
Twenty four hours a day
Whole lot of not
But it's convenient
Pray for fire
Bringing you, bringing you, bringing you, bringing you
Bringing you, bringing you, bringing you, bringing you
Bringing you, bringing you, bringing you, bringing you, bringing you
Bringing you, bringing you, bringing you, bringing you, bringing you
Bringing you, bringing you, bringing you, bringing you, bringing you
Bringing you, bringing you, bringing you, bringing you, bringing you
Bringing you, bringing you, bringing you, bringing you, bringing you
They'll tell you anything
It's speculation
Pure speculation
They'll tell you anything
It's speculation
Pure speculation
They'll tell you anything
They'll tell you anything
Bringing you, bringing you, bringing you, bringing you back to base
