I thought the worst by far was "Gasoline," which just doesn't make much sense. Not only does the song's breezy tone make it seem like she's condoning future riots over gasoline supply, but it essentially postulates that gasoline ought to be free but never addresses either why or what effect that might have on the environment.

(Maybe music ought to be free instead, Sheryl. How's them apples?)

Perhaps she was trying to be be cynical, but the song fails to convey that well. More than anywhere else, that song is where I think the record misses David's influence as heard on the debut album.
