Song of the Day: Alex Cameron – “Sara Jo”
Released: 2022
Album: Oxy Music
Although each album by Alex Cameron has been a slight step down from the previous, his latest LP Oxy Music still presents a handful of memorable moments. As usual, he’s at his best when churning out tales of depravity that may be tongue-in-cheek but tap into something deeper in regards to the state of humanity. Oxy Music is a funny album about the American opioid epidemic and the breakdown of society via social media, over a synthy soft rock backdrop. “Sara Jo” is one of the standouts.
Lyrics
I never hurt nobody
Not in any physical way
And when I do (when I do, when I do)
They will have wanted it that way
But I know
That there’s just one thing
You never do (never do, never do)
That’s fuck with my family
Who pulled the curtains? Who broke the screen?
Who told my brother that his kids are gonna die from this vaccine?
Who told my mother that she’s never gonna find no love in nobody?
Who told my father that he doesn’t have to pay for counselling?
I don’t see a pattern
It just won’t make sense
You never know on which side you’ll fall
When you’re sitting on the fence
But, my God
If you are listening
Give me a sign and let me know what to believe in
Or I, I just might post something
Who pulled the curtains? Who broke the screen?
Who told my brother that his kids are gonna die from this vaccine?
Who told my mother that she’s never gonna find no love in nobody?
Who told my father that he doesn’t have to pay for counselling?
Who pulled the curtains? Who broke the screen?
Who told my sister that she’s never gonna be no beauty queen?
Who told my mother that she’s never gonna find no love in nobody?
Who told my father that he doesn’t have to pay for counselling?
Who pulled the curtains? Who broke the screen?
Who told my brother that his kids are gonna die from this vaccine?
Who told my mother that she’s never gonna find no love in nobody?
Who told my father that he doesn’t have to pay for counselling?
