Your Redneck Past
"I grew up right in the sticks with a bunch of kids soupin' up their cars and stuff like that. It's probably the only song in the album that really doesn't have a real heartfelt point to it. It's a lot of fun, and it's a relief to have fun like that without a point in it. The coolest thing about the song is the synth bass. It sounds like scratching."

Who do you want to be
Billy Idol or Kool Moe Dee
If you're afraid they might discover your redneck past
There are a hundred ways to cover your redneck past
They'll never send you home
Roots
The funny limbs that grow underground
That keep you from falling down
Don't you think that you'll need 'em now
Just find a place where no one knows of your redneck past
Yeah you can easily dispose of your redneck past
You'll show them all back home
Désolé, je suis Américain
Please cook my steak again
Je suis Américain
Désolé, je ne parle pas Français
Laws
Vary from state to state
Get you some books on tape
To learn about holes in space
If you're afraid they might uncover your redneck ass
There are a hundred ways to cover your redneck past
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
It's good to be back home
Oh oh
