Discover the story of the song > If You’re Shooting with the Left It Means the Right Side Is Working – Ashbury Heights

The protagonist was born and raised in a once great community that used to make ships, automobiles, guns, and steel, but now it's just a ghost town where nothing happens. They feel like a class clown, running with the magpies and walking like a crow. They never saw the factory when it made history and now it's just a patch where the pennyroyal grows. The protagonist is feeling helpless and lost in a place that used to be great, but now is nothing but a shadow of its former self.
