about

This is an ode to pop-country musicians.

lyrics

You're clearly missing any point that's existed in the last 30 years.
Those who waste their time on you are part of a ­generation that I hope dies off soon.
But I don't see that happening if youcontinue to indoctrinate millions
­of my peers into your ­sess pool of a culture I'd like to ruin for you.

Fuck your half ton pick up truck and your local sports team.
Neither of them deserve to be in a song.
I don't care how good your lap steel player is
or how much you made in royalties from that Levi's ad.
One day you'll have totake some of
the critisism aimed at you seriously.
Until then you'll have to endure your own
dumbass, redneck, English-speaking audience.

[instrumental break]

Ignorance, pretense, self-pity: the ingredients to a perfect country song.
Neo-cons, rig pigs and really old people: the only ones who appreciate such BS.
You'll never hear any thing like this in a fuckin Garth Brooks song.

[instrumental break the second]

Yee haw
How does it never get old for you?
Yee haw
One would think you'd have grown out of this shit years ago!
Yee haw
But no, you keep this idiocy alive
Yee fuckin haw
And hopefully it'll be the death of you.
