#Listening to Runt's self-titled album from 1995. Still love it!

"Super hero, I don't think so

Super hero, just a dreamer

Stranger from another planet

He's a man we cannot trust

He's got my heckles up, I'm seeing red, ha ha

But petrified as well as mad, ha ha

The superman is in his head, ha ha

He's someone I would like to be

But can't believe"

Runt, 'Super Hero'

Written in 1995, but still *so* relevant!

"You say your life revolves around

The word that you heard

You mean your life revolves around

The word that you thought you heard

You read the book and seen the light

Now what is left for you

A good excuse, and a scapegoat

For everything that is untrue

You're fading quick

Your clever wit now in a shallow grave

Where is your mind

I think you'll find you've given it away"

Runt, 'Relish'

... and yet the very next song is a prohibitionist rant against cannabis dealers. The only song on the album I never understood the motivation for. Lyrically it just doesn't seem to fit with anything else on the album, and Runt were the only underground band I knew of in the 90s with an anti-cannabis song.

I mean, their contemporaries were putting out songs like this!
