Many mainstream songs in the world today tell a story. These story can be from first person, second person and just a old flok tale. But many of these songs can be straight forword without many metaphpors or useless information. Its a story, told in a dynamic rythmic pattern and in turn you get a kick ass song oout of it.
This song is by up and coming down home whiskey swinging, lonley feeing and isloated American Alternative Country band from Clark Ciounty Indiana called SLithering beast. The song "I got Robbed is off their debut alaum called Werewolf ballads released in 2007.
The song starts of with a lone d chords be strum soflty buliding up into a full kick ass country waltz taking us along a path some one is walking. The beats of the bass drum comparing to a swift walk through the streets. The first line stating :I crossed broadway at 3am, thats something I'll never do again cause I got Robbed" This person already learned his lesson before we even know what happened. He got robbed and it doesn't seem like it turned out well. The next line "Two guys jumped out and one had a knife, if I didn't give em my money they would have taken my life" sung with a tenor voice and a high harmony adds it importance.
Throughtout the song, the narrorator takes us on an everyday walk through the streets and ends up getting robbbed. The steal his hard earned Steak and shake money and take his prized weed and smoke it right in front of his face. "I was gonna get high today, when I got off of work at the Steak and Shake". Next the narrortor pleads to anyone that will listen to his problem. "How are we suppised to live in this town with all these money grabbers lying around" How can a man live peacrful inthat town if all his money just keeps getting stolen. The final line expressing "Shaken down and clean out" He's doesn't have anyting left. Just a false sense of pride and a shadow always lurking over his shoulder in fear of getting robbed.
