Peanuts
written: 21st February 2004, By Clay

i came to America to find freedom
and what i found was a nation obsessed with peanuts

we are in Dallas, Texas folks
the arse end of the bible belt
what a place this is
where once we could feel the wintery snows of Canada
we can now smell the bean laden burrito’s of Mexico
where, at one time, we had tight thermal pants compressing our testicals
into our pelvises
we are now free balling in possibly the free-est state in the free-est
country in the world
this is George W. Bush country
and we are now free to buy shotguns and free to be executed for our wrong
doings
its a beautiful feeling
and its warm

last night we went downtown to where we will play tonight
its like another mini Melbourne
there were clubs and live bands, restaurants and bars literally stacked in
on top of each other
what a great scene
we saw a club where Nirvana played
Cannibal Corpse are playing there next week
bummer
we had the best meal to date at the Brazil Cafe
but there were no Brazilians there
we had a couple of beers at a club called Pharmacy but we didn’t take any
drugs
the girls at Coyote Ugly were trying to drag us in there with promises of
spanking our arses
but by the time we got back there they were closed
apparently tonight, which is Friday, is off the hook in downtown Dallas
and we’re ready for anything

i love this place
i hope we don’t get shot

i love youze too
im going out for fried food
see ya later

p.s. squeal like a pig boy. yeeehaaaw!!!!
