Yes!
Yeah

As bad as we got
It sure must be rough on rats
The world is worse than when we found it
Sure must be rough on rats

Well it's all too much
If you're asking me
It all cost too much
And nothing is free
There's too much, too much
But not enough for me
Well it's all too much
If you're asking
If you're asking

Preacher, priest or parson
Robbery, murder or arson
Is there any place for me there
I don't think so

As bad as we got
It sure must be rough on rats
The world is worse than when we found it
Sure must be rough on rats
If we're not eating
Then they must have it rougher than us
I'm sure of that
But I should stop complaining every time it's raining
'Cause I'm still not food for cats
Ask me

Well it's all too much
If you're asking me
It all cost too much
And nothing is free
There's too much, too much
But not enough for me
Well it's all too much
If you're asking
If you're asking

Wise human or simple fool
Mineral or animalcule
Well is there any home for me there?
I'm just asking
I'm just asking

As bad as we got
It sure must be...
The world is worse than when we found it
Sure must be....
If we're not eating
Then they must have it rougher than us
I'm sure of that
But I should stop complaining every time it's raining
'Cause I'm sure not food for cats
Ask me

Well it's all too much
If you're asking me
It all cost too much
And nothing is free
There's too much, too much
But not enough for me
Well it's all too much
If you're asking
If you're asking

Umm...relative to what or whom? This isn't that far off from White Stripes (although the syncopated beat is new and really catchy).  It really works for me: starting at 9.

Well, we've got air conditioning and antibiotics and saxophones now, so I think SOME things are better.

Jack’s love of Led Zeppelin is clear in this tune

Jack had some fun at the Newport Folk Festival this summer.  Popping in as a guest all over the place.  It was fun for us all

…not what you’d call ‘accessible’ but it’s a kick ass high-energy tune with great drums and fine lyrics. Love it.
