THE UNDEFEATED
“Neon Forest” comes off like a rocking Neil Young number – in fact, that’s who I thought it was for years when the song would come to mind. The song features the great verse: “You can get a weird prize for being adored / You can join the in crowd for being a whore / Although you are lonely you wish for a fence / America takes drugs in psychic defense”. And then there is the defiant “The Undefeated” that has an “uh oh” undercurrent to the chorus: “We’re the undefeated / We got what they want / We’re so f--king spoiled / Life is just a bag of pot / We’re the undefeated / TV in the shade / Girls at all our parties / We have really got it made”.
