Act Like Nothings Wrong, you got to listen

In a somewhat slower but undeniably similar vein is the album's ninth track. To induce a child-like innocence into this deeply jaded song, Kimbrough deploys a toy xylophone from the get-go. In the first verse, he sings about an Enron-esque corporate crook who gets caught but hopes for the best with this impossibly upbeat chorus:

"Act like nothing's wrong
Everything's just fine
Hold your head up high and act like
You don't really mind
If you're terrified like me
Of terrorists and crime
Please take my advice
And simply act like nothing's wrong."

Maybe Tom DeLay listened to this Kimbrough song before his beatific mug shot was snapped. You'll sing along, too, until you wince and realize this has been the unholy Bush scripture since 2000. But with the way the war polls are looking, the right wingers may not be atop the charts much longer. This song portrays Kimbrough's various musical and songwriting talents at their cheeky best.
