Lyrics

I love to smoke
I love to smoke and I love to eat red meat
I love to eat raw fucking red meat
Nothing I like better than sucking down a hot steaming cheeseburger
And a butt at the same time
I love to smoke, I love to eat red meat
And I only eat red meat that comes from cows who smoke, okay?
Special cows they grow in Virginia with voice boxes in their neck
I tried eating vegetarian
I feel like a wimp going into a restaurant
"What do you want to eat, sir?"
"Broccoli"
Broccoli's a side dish, folks
Always was, always will be, okay?
When they ask me what I want, I say
"What do you think I want? This is America
I want a bowl of raw red meat right now
Forget about that, bring me a live cow over to the table
I'll carve off what I want and ride the rest"
Dum dum da da dum da da dum
I'm gonna open my own place
Open my own restaurant and get away from you people
I'm gonna open my own restaurant with two smoking sections
Ultra and regular, okay?
And we're not gonna have any tables or any chairs or any napkins
None of that pussy shit
Just a big wide open black space
And all we're gonna serve is raw meat right on the bone
And only men are gonna eat there
Naked men sitting around a big giant campfire
And no men's room either
You have to piss, you mark your territory like a wolf
And if some guy has a heart attack from eating too much meat
Fuck him, we throw him in the fire
More meat for the other meat eaters, yeah
'Cause you gotta have goals
'Cause everybody in this room knows everybody who's quitting meat
You all have that friend who's quitting it
You know what I mean?
The guy who's quitting everything
"I quit smoking, I quit drugs, I quit drinking, I quit meat
Now I feel great
I get up in the morning with a nice big bowl of oat bran
I go to the bathroom for three and a half hours
I have another bowl of oat bran
I go back in the bathroom for six more hours
All I do is eat and shit
I'm gonna live forever
My colon is the strongest muscle in my body right now
I could pass Elvis through my colon right now"
And all these cereals they have
Cracklin' Oat Bran and Horkin' Fiber Chunks
You know, cereal used to come with free prizes
Now it comes with a free roll of toilet paper in every box
Guys get up on Sunday morning
"Forget about the New York Times, I'm gonna read the Bible
I got a big one brewing here"
"Dad, there's a phone call"
"I'm on Genesis, goddammit
You tell them to call back after the creation"
People checking their own feces for fiber
You have too much free fucking time on your hands, okay?
Red meat, white meat, blue meat
Meat-o-fucking-rama, you will eat it
Because not eating meat is a decision
Eating meat is an instinct
Yeah, and I know what it's about
"I don't want to eat the meat because I love the animals
I love the animals"
"I love the animals too, I love my dog, he's so cute
My fluffy little dog, he's so cute"
There's the problem
We only want to save the cute animals, don't we?
Yeah, why don't we just have animal auditions?
Line 'em up one by one and interview 'em individually
"What are you?"
"I'm an otter"
"And what do you do?"
"I swim around on my back and do cute
Little human things with my hands"
"You're free to go
And what are you?"
"I'm a cow"
"Get in the fucking truck, okay pal?"
"But I'm an animal"
"You're a baseball glove, get on that truck"
"I'm an animal, I have rights"
"Here, here's your fucking cousin
Get on the truck, pal"
We kill the cows to make jackets out of them
And then we kill each other for the jackets we made out of the cow
You will eat the meat, folks
Because this country was founded on two things: meat and war
You eat enough fucking meat, you want to kill somebody
That's the way it works
That was the ultimate American dream
For me during that Persian Gulf War
I was sitting in my living room naked with a can of Budweiser
And a three-inch steak watching the war live on TV
I had a six-foot erection with a giant cheeseburger on the end of it
I ate so much meat during the war
By the time it was over three weeks later
I was like, "No, no, no, we need to keep fighting
Make a couple of stops on our way home from the Persian Gulf
First stop, Vietnam
Surprise the fuck out of those people, huh?
You make a movie? Not this time, pal"
Personally, I think Mama Cass said it best when she said
"All the leaves are
Monday "
