We're Trading in Our Soda Straws

This one is about growing up. I read once somewhere an analogy of kids (teenagers) using straws by which to snort cocaine and having sex and et cetera in comparison to fifty or so years ago when most of the kids in the same social classes and areas would be at a soda shop using straws to share a soda or milkshake and holding hands and dancing. Now the only dancing people do is while they're drunk or naked. That's not really what this song is about. There are two sets of lyrics about contrasting feelings for the same person. It's another single. I hit record on all my songs. I don't let nobody push my buttons for me...well, I used to let no one.

originally recorded as Sweet Dissonance.
