I've got what you want
But you've got what I need
I may have a broken heart
But you'll just make it bleed
I need something real
'Cause all I feel is fake
I'll try hard to be born again
And maybe this one takes
Altar call, altar call, now my back's against the wall.
Altar call, salvation by remote control.
Got born again in youth group
Got born again in camp
The music started playing
And every eye was damp
My girlfriend's father prayed with me
In his pickup truck
I know I'm bound for heaven,
But right now my life just sucks
Altar call, altar call, now my back's against the wall.
Altar call, salvation by remote control.
I've turned my back on hatred
I've turned my back on pride
So tell me why it is I feel
All broken-up inside?
My life's a haze of bread and wine
And peanut-butter fluff
I've been saved like 50 times
So tell me what's enough?
Altar call, altar call, now my back's against the wall.
Altar call, salvation by remote control.
Altar call, altar call, now you've got me feeling small.
Altar call, salvation by remote control.

Come for the '70s Dodge pickup on the cover. Stay for Americana/Folk music played like rock-n-roll (a winning formula if there ever was one). THE GHOSTS THAT I RUN WITH is nothing short of AWESOME. Andy Smash & the Rust Belt Hotrods
Synths abound on the new single from Hearts and Rockets—icy cold, sharp, and minimal, and topped with a punk rock sneer. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 22, 2020
Restless, agitated no wave for modern times built around razor-sharp guitar and roiling percussion from Jane Doe Ensemble. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 16, 2022
