For all the years bullshit was shoveled en masse down my throat
For the inexhaustible ignorance that surrounded me daily
For the stupidity that permeated the hick town societal castes
that dictated the empowered and powerless the same redneck way

You don't always rhyme.
And if you do, you're that good that I never even notice.
Now I'm curious.....
