ong
The song is a reflective introspective look at not only TISM, but the music industry in general. It deals primarily with an unnamed member of TISM being torn between his band and his life, in which he dreams of becoming a father who holds a regular job.
In the song, we are treated to an early glimpse of TISM's philosophy, the contradiction between being the famous rock star and the content man, living in suburbia. The refrain often reminds us that "Rock 'n' Roll ain't no family proposition".
The song was not well received, and was accused of having "no punchline" by 3RRR radio host Stephen Walker. [ [http://serious.sbn.bz/base/view/document/history1990 Official TISM History (1990)] ]
