LYRICS
Everyone I know is tired
Everyone I know is wired
To machines, it’s obscene
I’ll just scream til it don’t hurt no more.
Everyone I know is happy
But everyone I know is napping
Half the day, thrown away
But I can’t find the thrill anymore.
Maybe I’m not sure
I wanna go on, I wanna go on
Maybe I’m not sure
I wanna go on at all
Everyone I know is funny
But jokes don’t make us money
Sell our rage, buy and trade
But we still cry for free every day.
Everyone I know is bored
But everyone I know is floored
Crawl around, on the ground
Let the sound of your blood lead the way.
My desire is contagious.

"Can I Go On" debuted at #9 on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week!

[@Akari_6]

One of my favorite songs, fell in love with it as a kid!

[@imjustherefortehlulz]

Probably the best song on the album

[@rosbergs3]

I just heard of this band today. I like this song. Very catchy. Reminds me of The Runways.

[@TheShmekler]

From Le Tigre in 2005 to now, still a fan of this style!

[@loveandanger1]

This is a great work. I can see the parallels they drew to Ice T's New Jack Hustler. The irony of commenting is not lost.

One of the best tracks they've released so far from the album. The future is here was alright and hurry on home was even better, but neither of them where heavy hitters like this one and the center won't hold are. Excited to hear all the other songs off the album!

I keep thinking the "Take me Out" chorus is going to come in! A interesting creative turn, that 25 years into their course might make them much more popular. Also, get well Janet!

[@henriksrensen5958]

Another great track. The album is going to be incredible

[@asyrafzehaha]

The chorus 👌🏼

[@joewilliams5057]

Loving this new stuff!

[@emi.xoxoxo4954]

i’m a pretty new and young sleater kinney fan. i’m only 14 and have been listening for maybe 5 months. the band definitely has changed quite a bit with janet leaving in all. i can’t see why she left because you don’t really hear much of that signature drumming. the band still is amazing and has gone through some changes. i can’t wait to see where the band is going in the future and i feel like instead of hating them for changing and not supporting them we should really embrace the change. all artists change their music and learn from their mistakes so we should at least try to give their new music a chance :)

[@danhernandez8082]

I feel the same, I'm 16 and I've been jamming to them exclusively for a solid month

[@MrElke1]

Might have been better received as a new band and not SK.

[@ToLWaM]

this reminds me of a bill wurtz video lmao

[@jauxro]

it's bill wurtz's shadow self and he must kill it to survive

[@terrapines801]

Dig this! Dig the album!

[@theTrend7]

I wonder if Annie from St.Vincent helped produce the whole album? The two songs I have heard,have her guitar sound written all over it.

[@spiroskaravalakis9358]

I think Annie produced the whole thing.

[@joslynnmae687]

Was about to comment about how the video gives me huge bill wurtz vibes but then I saw top comment lol It’s so trippy and I’m so confused because it’s currently 3 am for me but wow this song is good! I’ve been listening to music on auto play and got here and I’m glad I stayed to listen!

[@ChrisBohling]

It’s not Jumpers.

[@user-uv6rj6pq5d]

It's better than jumpers. Every sleater-kinney song is good but relative to all their other songs I feel like it is one of their worst ones. The lyrics were better in that song but this one has it beat in sound and vocal performance imo.

[@ChrisBohling]

ching You’re a serious fan. Thanks for the response.

[@guitaleleoeuvre]

Janet is not wrong to run away! This new stuff is more "pop" than "punk". Don't get me wrong, I kinda like it that Corin and Carrie together "try new things"... ...but, Janet. She is a force of nature!

[@marcelocarrion99]

Not that this single isn't poppier, but the previous one was literally an industrial song. Much more punk than that you can't get (although some energy will be missed without Janet).

[@urbandurbin]

calling legitimately anything this band has ever created punk is a crime... coming from a fan of the band but these guys have always been pop rock.

[@sadywootten7668]

Janet suggested they work with AC!

[@batukepunkrock]

I feel like every piece of the album they've given us is unique. I'm foreseeing a record with a wide palette of sounds and ideas. So far I'm enjoying every bit of it. Thank you so much S-K!!!

I am not sure if Corin is on this track, there is someone doing the backing singing but was it Corin?

This gives me the same reaction I got listening to Beck's Colors album.....to be blunt it screams sell out. It's very disappointing when musicians who have faithfully been true to themselves for many years throw in the towel like this and turn out over-produced generic "modern rock" that basically sounds indistinguishable from so much other so called "alternative" music of the moment that sounds anything but alternative. Sleater-Kinney have made 8 very fine albums. Sadly, I am not optimistic about number 9.

[@jimcrabbe3373]
