In addition to having an upbeat and quirky style that freely employs accordion and the drum machine for their earlier work, these guys are brilliant lyricists. Check these out, from the song, "Dead" off of the album, "Flood":
I will never say the word, 'Procrastinate' again
I'll never see myself in the mirror with my eyes closed
Now it's over I'm dead and I haven't done anything that I want
Or I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do
And these, from "James K. Polk" off of the album "Factory Showroom":
The factions soon agreed
He's just the man we need
To bring about victory
Fulfill our manifest destiny
And when the votes were cast, the winner was...
Mr. James K. Polk, our 11th President
Young hickory, Napoleon of the stump
