about

This is the first song I ever wrote, in 1991 in a van outside the Euclid Tavern in Cleveland, Ohio.

lyrics

You can't blame people who don't drive cars
Cuz they get to walk down the street
You can't blame people who don't smoke dope
Cuz smokin' that stuff ain't neat

Whooaaa x2

You can't blame people who don't eat meat
Cuz killing cows is no game
You can't blame people who don't masturbate
Cuz doing that is really lame

Whooaaa x2

Well I drive a car and I smoke dope
I eat cows and I masturbate
I hope there's more people out there like me
Cuz I am the one that people hate

Whooaaa x4
