Lyrics:

Come on, turn on, tune in drop out with me
Baby you need a break so let's just run away
Well I'm tired of coding Perl, tired of VBA
Maggie throw your law books away
Turn on, tune in, drop out, give up with me

Now picture this

I'm shopping in town for our homemade Agrarian fortress
You're texting: Corian, granite or tile kitchenette in the gun nest?
Well we'll find a little meadow high up in the Cascades
Baby we won't ever come down
Turn on, tune in, drop out, give up with me

Turn on
Tune in
Drop out
With me
The whole thing's coming down so let's just get out of the way
Well I'm not paranoid there is no conspiracy
But I swear Big Brother's watching me
Turn on, tune in, drop out, give up with me

So you're serving aperitifs to the local survivalist militia
In camouflage you're fine but the locals still call you Morticia
Well we'll find a little meadow high up in the Cascades
Baby we won't ever come down
Turn on, tune in, drop out, give up with me

Buy a little cabin in the Adirondacks
Baby they'll never find us
Turn on, tune in, drop out, give up with me

Hand stitch your tee pee
With the east Mojave
Watching for black helicopters
Turn on, tune in, drop out, give up with me

Why is this band getting so much airplay on here? Maybe that's an overstatement. Sure feels like it. This is mediocre at best. Bar band. Bleh.

Turn off, Tune out, Drop In without You...... Not my favorite Cracker song either. But, stale Cracker is still more palatable than most of today's pop music. {#Whistle}

I wonder like B&R like Cracker so much.  They are just some random 90's band in my mind, and every time I hear them on RP, I wonder what the draw is.{#Stupid}

Not only are they geeks, they're geeks who want to be in the Cascade meadows. That is me to a T. Knew I liked these guys right away.

That's a lyric I haven't heard in a song before. Only computer geeks (like me) will get it.

 
heh! i thought that's what i heard! {#Smile}

geeks make the best musicians. {#Sunny}

love cracker, btw, please give ETG more airplay - voted here as one of the most romantic song ever!

There's something about this that really feckin' irritates after a minute or two, maybe the guy shouting and croaking into the mike, such that I had to mute it. A shame as I usually like Cracker stuff, but this one really gets on my tits. Or maybe it's because it's Friday and I'm getting a bit tetchy with my week's sleep deficit :(

I got it! Does that mean I am a computer geek? {#Ask}

{#Eek}

Funny, I just heard that and came over here to see if it was Cracker.
Apparently there's no end to the diversity of their material.

 I doubt they know the Leary-esque meaning of "turn on, tune in, drop out".  You can't get LSD anymore...and Ecstasy just doesn't do it, kids.

Yep. They did the snarky rebel thing well, but isn't that one note tune a bit tired after about 15 years?
