Lyrically, this song is a wake-up call— how far down and out of control can the culture go? The good restraints are apparently gone… unless we do something about it. Interestingly, Dave only does a fraction of the chorus at first; after that, it musically expands quite a bit. “The Brakes” is another great song.
Our rating for The Brakes: 5 & 1/3 Stars.
