Stay away from the grocery, 'cause it's all a big scam With all the UFO GMO TBHQs, I can't remember who I am "Hey Shark, you're a white man" That's right, you know I got a better plan You can keep the peaches, you can keep the pears Put 'em all back on shelf I'll pick 'em myself I don't care about your coupons, or if the apple's on sale While you're stuck in line, wasting time I'll be at the orchard just filling up my pail "That sounds unobtainable" No man, it's sustainable You can keep the peaches, you can keep the pears Put 'em all back on the shelf I'll pick 'em myself

Ronnie has a face that you won't forget Thirty years of heavy drinking, not a day of regret If you see him out driving, give the right of way If you ever want to live to see another day Ronnie is a decorated ex-marine Used to think that he was fighting for the American dream When Ronnie hit the desert, the terrorists ran Because, even cave-dwellers know that Ronnie is the man He's a hard hitter He's a hard man If you're not so great at toking, you just better bounce because Ronnie rolls his blunts by the half an ounce When Ronnie was arrested, the judge was afraid Let him off without a warning, got out the way He don't care if it's illegal This ain't a protest song He's exhausted every smoke detector And his best friend is his......... He's a hard hitter He's a hard man Ronnie never married, he could not commit All the ladies could not stop themselves from jumping on it Anna-Leigh was hoping that her feelings would pass Until she learned that Ronnie was the king of hitting that ass He'll never take you out dancing He's got the temper of a bull Before you ask him any questions (REMEMBER!) There's no talking with your mouth full He's a hard hitter He's a hard man He's a hard hitter He's a hard man He's a hard hard man He's even harder than me He's as hard as can be

Late one afternoon, Shark and Dave had time to kill They called a couple buddies and headed out to Rich Man’s Hill The sun was shining brightly, the wind blew through the trees But none of them had thought to say goodbye to their families Shark flexed up his muscles and gave the disc a mighty hurl But he must have been distracted by that pretty-tittied girl He searched the woods intently for a disc he’d never find When a half-face, bearded homeless man approached him from behind There’s a man on the highway Surrounded by fear Speeding from the demons that are dancing in the mirror There’s a man on the highway He’s searchin’ for sin The angel on his shoulder knows the devil is gonna win While Shark was out exploring, the game continued on Tammy tapped a pine tree while adjusting the back of her thong The boys enjoyed the sight of Tammy as she walked away When Donnie started drooling, Tammy turned around and winked at Dave She searched the woods intently, then stopped to take a leak But it wasn’t Donnie Dimyoit who crept up to take a peak She screamed out to the heavens as she made her final spill No one would see Tammy ever come down from the hill There’s a man on the highway Surrounded by fear Speeding from the demons that are dancing in the mirror There’s a man on the highway He’s searchin’ for sin The angel on his shoulder knows the devil is gonna win The devil's gonna win Night time on the hillside, everyone but Dave was gone It suddenly occurred to him that maybe, something was wrong He knew the silent stalker would be hungry for one more The stranger that approached him was a man he had seen before Dave shook off the hobo like a werewolf with a flea When he tripped and fell like a lady, he found the Shark tied to a tree The bearded man was gaining as the boys ran for their lives When a rider on the highway ran the hobo over twice There’s a man on the highway Surrounded by fear Speeding from the demons that are dancing in the mirror There’s a man on the highway He’s searchin’ for sin The angel on his shoulder knows the devil is gonna win

I'm sick of the power running my life So I'll switch off my amp, turn out the lights Because I like singing in the...shade Digital is dead, I've got it made If you don't want to listen, it's your own damn fault But you're gonna thank me when I give you the acoustic assault I'm sick of my pickups and all the effects It's time I simplify, and do what I do best Like drinking and smoking weed A bong and a guitar, that's all I need If you don't want to listen, it's your own damn fault But you're gonna thank me when I give you the acoustic assault I try to evolve but I remain the same Keep on playing, it's an old man's game But I've got blisters inside my ears When I'm done with you, you won't be able to hear I love my electric, I won't deny I'll play you a solo that will make you cry If you still won't listen, it's your own damn fault But you're gonna thank me when I give you the acoustic assault

Pack your bags, we're getting out of here Fire up the wagon, we're on tour for the rest of the year We'll battle the winds, heavy rain, and snow And anything attempting to prevent us from seeing the show In Albany, our cash was gone With only ten minutes left until the band went on We snuck in through a side window Swinging from the ceiling and jamming to the music below We lit out onto the interstate Like always, we were running late We listened to a show from '93 We did the Rexy Boogie Our car broke down so we started to run Engine malfunction wouldn't stop us from having some fun We hitched a ride with some pretty girls Pointed our van toward the band that would conquer the world A three-day run at an air force base Security was tight so we disguised ourselves as the police Fooling the guards was child's play But when we got to Shakedown Street Everyone ran away After the show, I was out of my mind I was trailing a car behind I lost the van at exit 23 It's alright man, I'll see you 'round the bend Until then I'll do the Rexy Boogie Rise and shine, it's time to go If we leave now, we can see the show If I don't move, I think I'm gonna snap
