Cold war kids we used to vacation


We Used to Vacation is the fourth EP by the American indie rock band Cold War Kids. It was released by V2 on November 27, 2006 on CD and Vinyl. The title track (which is also the opening track of Robbers & Cowards) is told from the perspective of an alcoholic family man, telling of his struggle against his alcoholism in order to be responsible to his family. The line "I give a check to tax deductible charity organizations" is from the Bob Dylan track "Ballad of a Thin Man", from his Highway 61 Revisited album.
