Biografía:
Since the 2008 release of their debut full-length Casting Shadows Tall As Giants, the band has been gaining momentum regionally as well as nationally. The album was featured on NPR’s “Second Stage” program. "Their music has a great energy to it with some infectious, sing-along choruses and refrains." commented NPR host Robin Hilton. At Creative Loafing's 2008 Best of the Bay Awards held in Tampa, HGWT took home the Readers' Poll Award for Best Americana Act and Staff pick for Local CD of the Year.

G C D
[Verse]
G
Between the plastic surgery and credit card receipts
Em
Child goes to bed at night without a bite to eat
C
A prince denies a shilling to a beggar in the street
D
God slits his tires to his presidential suite
[Verse]
G
As we celebrate celebrity and all the joy it brings
Em
We endure the over privilege just for having fancy things

Future civilizations study people of today
Em
Excavate our ruins and examine our remains
D
Catalog our plastic parts and put them on display
C
Put em' some mystery museum out in space
[Verse]
G
Like a vessel on the ocean being swallowed by the waves
Em
A dozen life preservers, and a thousand lives to save

Give them to the highest bidder, tell the other to be brave

As they sink down to the bottom to their deep and lonely graves

To their deep and lonely graves

Chapel bell is ringing and the storm is growing near

Preacher's at the pope and lays the opium with fear

The economy is crumbling like a castle made of sand
Em
Daddy's at the office with a shotgun in his hand
C
Moma's at the shop, and Paul she's working on her tan
D
And I'll be at the corner tavern and I'll be singing with the band
G Em G
And I'm singing on, na-na-na-na
