Mid-Week Cheerleader Song

St. Vincent (the stage name of Annie Clark) is a well-regarded singer/songwriter/guitarist, who has recently teamed up and is touring with R&R Hall of Famer David Byrne (Talking Heads), promoting their new CD, "Love This Giant." Here she is on an earlier solo effort, with lyrics that could fit a lot of Rethug operatives these days.

"I've played dumb
When I knew better
Tried so hard
Just to be clever
I know honest thieves
I call family
I've seen America
With no clothes on
But I don't wanna be a cheerleader no more"
