Ben Folds Five - Your Redneck Past Lyrics

Choose
from any number of magazines
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

(yo!]
(yo!]
(break some up!)
(break some up!)

laws
vary from state to state
get ya 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

home

it's good to be back home

home
home
home
home
home
(home)

home
