Lyrics
USA TODAY
(Timothy Brickley and David Rheins)
I used to think that everyone was smart, and
would do the right thing because they had a heart.
I used to think the Russians all were bad,
they wanna fly over here and kill my Mom and Dad.
I know a psychiatrist who’s nuts.
I know a guy who hates Tom Waits.
I know a paperboy shot by an old man.
I know a girl afraid of USA Today.
My friend Lee, he just got to be a cop.
We used to get high but now he had to stop.
They went on a raid last night by the airport strip.
They didn’t bust anyone, but it was still pretty hip.
I know a Republican homo.
I know a guy who loves Tom Waits.
I know a guy who never had a license.
I know a girl afraid of USA Today.
My friend, Will, he once lost most his mind.
He wandered down a highway for days 'til he happened to find, a
dead bird on the road that finally made him cry.
He walked it fifty miles to my house to ask me, why?
I know a psychiatrist who’s nuts.
I know a guy who hates Tom Waits.
I know a paperboy shot by an old man.
I know a girl afraid of USA Today.
