Welcome to the Twelve Days of Butter, Day 1. On each of the next twelve days we will give you a free stream of a track from the new HBR album, a new video of performance and interviews, and lyrics to the song. This is all leading up to our May 30th CD release party at Terrapin Crossroads in San Rafael. We are happy to share our fourth studio album with you and hope you enjoy.
-Aaron, Bryan, Erik, Lucas & Nat
On the right you can listen to the opening track of “Hot Buttered Rum” called “Working Man.”
Here’s the video, shot last year at our soldout Sweetwater show in Mill Valley, CA.

WORKING MAN -Nat Keefe
I followed the dream I was given
I read all the writing on the wall
I jumped through every hoop I could find
And swung at every curve ball
I followed the plan I was given
I put myself through the finest schools
Now I got a crate of problems
And a box of useless tools
The hard-working man can’t get a job,
the lawmaker breaks the rules
The Christians are calling for violence,
the shepherd’s getting kickbacks from the wolves
The rich keep getting rich
The poor keep getting poor
Profits go into pockets
and losses are thrown on the government’s door
The way things look from where I stand,
they pulled one over on the working man
Off the leash, and out of hand,
they pulled one over on the working man
In this nation of bankers and baristas
Who want to have their cake and eat it too
There’s another unspoken compromise
In the daily things I do
I love my big car, I love the open bar,
the all-you-can-eat buffet
I might have had a couple of drinks last night
but I feel hungover, like it’s New Year’s Day.
