Ben Folds Lyrics
"Your Redneck Past"

choose from any number of magazines
who do you wanna 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 fallin' down
don't you think that you'll need 'em now?

just find a place where know one knows of your redneck past
yeah, you can easily dispose of your redneck past

you'll show them all back home

desole
je suis american
please cook my steak again
je suis american
desole
je ne pale pas francais

laws vary from state to state
getcha some books on tape
learn about holes in space

if you're afraid they might discover your redneck past
there are a hundred ways to cover your redneck past
it's good to be back home
