Question the Answers, 1994
Written by Dicky Barrett and Joe Gittleman
Starting off with a blast of horns, this is the cri de coeur of a working man who hits the daily grind from nine to five (though one verse implies he's a bartender, a job that doesn't typically have those hours). He's got his pride. He'd rather lay down and die than sit up and beg, even though he doesn't have a minute's rest. As is typical with the 'Tones, the lyrics are full of the internal rhyme and assonance that Barrett loves to spit out in his rapid-fire growl: "It's up and out, rise and shine, on the double / No time to slack, attack, and tackle the trouble / Shake myself out of bed again."
