about
a lot of people asked what this one's all about and who the hell the dodsons are. the dodson twins are dear friends of mine who have picked on me and confused me (in a fun way) ever since i've known them. they used that whole "twin thing" against me in ways that i still am bewildered by and, i tell ya, playing pool with them is the weirdest thing ever. anyways, since they always throw playful jabs at me, i decided to throw one back at them. so i wrote a song about them drunk driving and then driving around their hometown, shooting just about everyone in their neighborhood, except for a priest.
lyrics
we drove across the day on the interstate
drinking cheap wine and singing the blues
it's a life that's forced on us
not one that we choose
you'd think the cop cars would turn on their sirens
but we just smile and we drive right by them
i guess we're not worth the price of a speeding ticket
you and i we look exactly alike just like our father's father's favorite sons
we think the same thoughts, use the same hands
to point the same guns
but we've always been different
than the people around us
we've always been strangled
by the ties that bind us
so now it's high time to declare
a little war on the world
chorus:
you gotta spend a little time on the new york times
to get your face noticed in this town
you gotta raise a little hell
to build your own heaven on the ground
and when you share the same womb
then you're bound to share
the same fate racing all the way to nowhere
and i don't mind dying young
i just never ever want to die alone
the people in the parking lots will be too busy
to even know that they've been hit
our neighbors will be too surprised to understand it
the priest across the street, he will try to explain
that the heart of man is dark,
and the word will say the same
while the saints up in the sky
will spend the night praying for our souls
chorus
we're gonna stick together, brother
through the thick and thin
we're gonna never-ever be apart
and if anybody tries to get in our ways
we're gonna stop them before they start
cuz there's a meanness in this world,
and it tastes so sweet
there's an anger in our hearts
that keeps us on our feet
and if there's a God above
I know he's surely entertained by what he sees
chorus
