Artist: Snider Todd
Album: East Nashville Skyline


Conservative Christian, right wing Republican, straight, white, American male.
Gay bashin’, black fearin’, poor fightin’, tree killin’, regioal leaders of sales
Frat housin’, keg tappin’, shirt tuckin’, back slappin’ haters of hippies like me.
Tree huggin’, peace lovin’, pot smokin’, porn watchin’ lazyass hippies like me.
Tree huggin’, love makin’, pro choicen, gay weddin’, widespread diggin’ hippies like me.
Skin color-blinded, conspiracy-minded, protestors of corporate greed,
We who have nothing and most likely will ‘till we all wind up locked up in jails
By conservative Christian, right wing Republican, straight, white, American males,.


Diamonds and dogs, boys and girls, living together in two separate worlds
Following leaders of mountains of shame, looking for someone to blame.
Diamonds and dogs, boys and girls, living together in two separate worlds
Following leaders of mountains of shame, looking for someone to blame.
I know who I like to blame:


Conservative Christian, right wing Republican, straight, white, American males,
Soul savin’, flag wavin’, Rush lovin’, land pavin’ personal friends to the Quayles
Quite diligently workin’ so hard to keep the free reins of this Democracy
From tree huggin’, peace lovin’, pot smokin’, barefootin’ folk-singin’ hippies like me.
Tree huggin’, peace lovin’, pot smokin’, porn watchin’ lazyass hippies like me.

I’m the preeminent self hating white trash redneck who grew up Southern Baptist and now can’t stand (for) the fundamentalist evangelical exclusionistic right-wing Republican patriarchal  nut-bags (I mean teabags). There is a self loathing critique of familial, regional and nationalistic being and doing. I exclude the exclusionist.  I hate the hater. I despise and cast down judgement on the prejudicial bigot. There is a lesbian in this man’s body, a misandrist who distrusts the very nature of testosterone induced, aggression charged, thinking and being.

Hey, self-hater who are you?  What is the reason for your existence? And, why so fully charged? Have I not grown beyond my juvenile rebelliousness? What’s the emotion beneath the anger and judgement... Perhaps pain and a sense of injustice, a sadness, a need for love and care and feeling it’s not there. Deeper down still we go...

I am this white trash, rebel, who’s shit kicker/FFA high school was on the outskirt’s of town.  I am the young man who attended a small private Southern Baptist university in Central Texas. I am the barely educated boy for whom it took five years to graduate high school and six years to graduate college.  I am the hate, the prejudice, the anger, the fearful sheltered, God-in-a-Box, exclusionist, Southerner. My fundamentals are bigger, better and progressively further along than yours.  My evangelism is loud and angry and open mouthed.  Yes-sir-am!
