She’s the candle  
Burning in my room  
I’m like the needle  
Needle and spoon  
Over the counter  
With a shotgun  
Pretty soon, everybody got one  
And the fever when I’m beside her  
Desire, Desire

I sat down on a log, took her on my lap  
She said wait a minute bud, you got to see my pap  
He’s gotta sixteen gauge choked down like a rifle  
He don’t like a man that’s gonna trifle

Shotgun boogie, draws a bead so fine  
Look out big boy, he’s loaded all the time

Hey Joe, where you goin’ with that gun of yours?  
Hey Joe, I said where you goin’ with that gun in your hand, oh

You know I caught her messin’ 'round with another man

I’m gonna get me a shotgun and kill all the whities I see,  
I’m gonna get me a shotgun and kill all the whities I see.  
When I kill all the whities I see, then whitey he won’t bother me,  
I’m gonna get me a shotgun and kill all the whities I see.

He came inside, took a seat  
They didn’t know he didn’t come to eat  
Asked for his order, got a bullet instead  
Ronald can’t help… Ronald is dead  
Now the golden arches are bloodstained red  
Ronald is dead… took a bullet in the head  
May I take your order please? NOOOO!!!  
Oh my God he’s got a gun!  
McDonaldland Massacre

I’ve been eating most my life,  
Eating in this fast food paradise.  
I’ll have a Big Mac, Coke, and fries,  
Eating in this fast food paradise.  
Skyline Chili with extra spice,  
Is a dish in fast food paradise.  
Gettin’ in jeans is exercise,  
When you’re in a fast food paradise.

Down on the corner by the traffic light  
Everybody’s lookin’ as she goes by  
They turn their heads and they watch her till she’s gone  
Lord have mercy baby’s got her blue jeans on

Honey’s sweet  
But it ain’t nothin’ next to baby’s treat  
And if you pardon me

We’ll do okay  
Forever in blue jeans

Blue Jean, I just met me a girl named Blue Jean  
Blue Jean, she got a camouflaged face and no money  
Remember they always let you down when you need 'em  
Oh, Blue Jean, is heaven any sweeter than Blue Jean?

Jean, Jean, you’re young and alive  
Come out of your half-dreamed dream  
And run, if you will, to the top of the hill  
Open your arms, bonnie Jean

Bye, bye Miss American Pie  
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry  
And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye

This’ll be the day that I die

Satan watches all of us, smiles as some do his bidding  
Try to escape the grasp of my hand and your life will no longer exist  
Hear our cry, save us from the Hell in which we live  
We turn our heads toward the sky and listen for the steel

Die by the sword  
Die by the sword

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;  
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;  
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:  
His truth is marching on.

When Johnny comes marching home again,  
Hurrah! Hurrah!  
We’ll give him a hearty welcome then  
Hurrah! Hurrah!  
The men will cheer and the boys will shout  
The ladies they will all turn out  
And we’ll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home.

You’re a superstar, at the gay bar.
