Born Without A Clue
(Andrew Combs)
Tunes of R and T Direct / Chunk of Coal Publishing (SESAC)
Plastic vision for a plastic man
Thought I held the world in my plastic hands
Dumbed down and easy to please
Painting pictures of who I thought I should be
High and dry, forever my state
Hey, what’s the price of inspiration today
Cut the ties, if you want to come down
Stuck in a circle, going round and round and round
Born without a clue
We were born just for something to do
Born without a clue
It’s up to me and it’s up to you
Nobody cares for your sorrow and strife
They’re trained to love what they’re trained to like
You can tell it all by how they eat
Do they chew the fat or get straight down to the meat
Born without a clue
We were born just for something to do
Born without a clue
It’s up to me and it’s up to you
Strange moon, like a disease
Strange light, bending its knees
Strange times, finding their step
Strange world, getting stranger yet
Born without a clue
We were born just for something to do
Born without a clue
It’s up to me and it’s up to you

The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'.
Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was. tideracer

He is masterful on the piano. Robert Ellis writes songs that grab your attention and are very well written and often times catchy and witty. I love the fact he mostly used the piano on this one. I wish more artists followed this pattern. Yimmy Kil
