Now You Know
Written by Mattias Ia Eklundh
About the song:
"Now You Know" was recorded at the same time as "Dig Me Out", back in 1992. The "pig sound" in the beginning is Ia screaming through a cheap distortion pedal. The guitar sound is the old infamous Sharp tape-recorder (with some frequencies in the low end added through a bass amp), eq:ed to death.
The short, cracking sound just when the main riff is back after the solo is a plastic bag, later used on "Proud to be Plastic".
Lyrics:
If there is a point here, son
Then I would like to know
The way you look just isn´t cool
I can not let you go
Dressed up in a home made, blood stained
n*** uniform
The boy went out and set a cat on fire
"This will keep you warm"
Ay, ay, ay, ayaoh
Now you know
Ay, ay, ay, ayaoh
Now you know
Now he is a senator
A mighty, modern drover
He kills a cat once in a while
When he´s not bending over
Ay, ay, ay, ayaoh
Now you know
Ay, ay, ay, ayaoh
Now you know
How it hurts
It hurst so bad
The times he bent
But he won´t stop
He´ll never stop
Until he is President
