Everyone's an asshole in Texas
Everyone pretends to be so polite
But inside they're all seething
As long as they're breathing
They're breathing vindictive oxygen
"Someone's gonna make us give back all this shit we stole!"
That's the refrain in their soul
Everyone's an asshole in Texas
Especially Dallas—
The sculptured hair and those stupid hats
And the acres of denim
And smiles fillеd with venom
And endlessly nurturеd grievances
And no one's gonna speak the truth
In a lying town
In a crooked place
No one's gonna speak the truth
When they know it doesn't matter
And so I came to New York
[ETHAN]
Everyone's a scumbag in Jersey
Everyone's exactly as loud and dumb
As the movies portray them
Should anyone pay them attention
They puff up like bullfrogs
Go and wear your muscle shirts and mullets with pride
'Cause you've got nothing real inside
[ETHAN & ROBIN]
And no one's gonna speak the truth
In a place like that
Where it won't get heard
[ETHAN]
No one's gonna speak the truth
When the fakes get fatter and fatter
[ETHAN & ROBIN]
No, no one's gonna speak the truth
Not a single phrase
Not an honest word
No one's gonna speak the truth
When they know it doesn't matter
[ROBIN]
And so I came to New York
[ETHAN]
And so we came to New York
[ETHAN & ROBIN]
Mmm
Ooh
