Standing in the House
Mr. Blotto Lyrics

I slipped up, felt the echo of a memory
rise up and disappear from me
Fill my cup, now that I've had two or three,
I can get a little free
It feels good, to celebrate the loss of my independence
I'm in the mood, to let the rhythm push me out of my head

(You're the one)

I'm lit up, dancing in my room alone

I lock my door and turn off my phone
Fill my cup, now that I've had three or four,
I could use a couple more
It feels good, to tune out from the wrongs
of the world around me I'm in the mood,
to let the warm embrace of my cup surround me

(You're the one)

I forget my problems, you can wake me when you solve 'em
I forget my problems, you can wake me when you solve 'em
I forget my problems, you can wake me when you solve 'em
I forget my problems, you can wake me when you solve 'em

I'm fucked up, but I think I could have some more if
I could get myself off the floor
Spilled my cup, the room is tipping to and fro,
my mind is moving kinda slow
I know I should, break out of these walls
I have built around me
If only I could, face up to the world
let the truth surround me

(You're the one)

I forget my problems, you can wake me when you solve 'em
I forget my problems, you can wake me when you solve 'em
I forget my problems, you can wake me when you solve 'em
I forget my problems, you can wake me when you solve 'em

(You're the one)

They formed in the early 1990's in Chicago as a group of musicians with no intent or plan for becoming an official band. They began playing open mic nights in the city only to find that a series of bootlegs had increased in popularity. The band was less than a year old when the band took to the studio to record their first disc "parking karma". In 2006 the band, with the help of former Grateful Dead lyricyst John Perry Barlow, released their 5th studio album titled "Barlow Shanghai".

Today Mr. Blotto remains one of the most distinctive improvisational regional bands. The group continues to tour, but rarely leaves the Chicago area.

Major influences for the band included The Allman Brothers Band, The Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley and Widespread Panic to name a few.
