| By: Trey Anastasio Discography: Appears on The White Tape Times Played: 228 Vocals: Trey (lead), Mike & Page(backing) | One of Phish's earliest songs, AC/DC Bag found its place in Trey's senior study at Goddard College, The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday. It was written before the majority of the Gamehenge saga, yet it fits nicely with the story, appearing right after Wilson and before Colonel Forbin's Ascent. The song is sung as a back-and-forth stream of consciousness between Wilson and his accountant, Mr. Palmer, who has been embezzling funds from Wilson's regime to fund the revolutionaries. Wilson finds out, of course, and orders Mr. Palmer to be hanged by his electronic robot-hangman, the AC/DC Bag. |

- Lyrics
Verse:
Mr. Palmer is concerned with the thousand-dollar question, just like Roger, he's a crazy little kid
I've got the time, if you've got the inclination, so cheer up Palmer, you'll soon be dead
The noose is hanging, at least you won't die wondering sit up and take notice, tell it like it is
If I were near you, I wouldn't be far from you, I've got a feeling you know what you did
Chorus: -2x

Verse:
Time to put your money where your mouth is,put 'em in a field and let 'em fight it out
I'm running so fast my feet don't touch the ground, I'm a stranger here I'm going down
Let's get down to the nitty gritty, let's get this show on the road
I'll show you mine if you show me yours, I'm breathing hard - open the door
CHORUS:
Bridge:
Brain dead, and made of money, no future at all
Pull down the blinds and run for cover, no future at all
Who would've thought it, that's where I am, no future at all
Don't sweat it, that's where I am, whoa, carry me down, down, down, down
