This is the other track in "GNFPWLBN" in which The "Dirty Dozen Brass Band" was featured. The beginning is identical to "Horn Intro"
Also, This song is freakin crazy!!!

All those people that you know.
All those people that you know.
All those people that you know,
floatin' in the river are logs.

I could buy myself a reason.
I could sell myself a job.
I could hang myself on treason.
All the folks I know are gone.

All the people that you know.
All the people that you know.
All the people that you know
floatin' in the river are logs.

So I ate the wedding cake
'til the whole damn thing was gone.
And I'm gonna drown the ocean.
Now ain't none o' that so wrong?

All the people that you know.
All those people that you know.
All those people that you know
floatin' in the river are gone.

Gonna take this sack of puppies.
Gonna set it out to freeze.
Gonna climb around on all fours
'til all the blood falls out my knees.

All the people that you know.
All the people that you know.
All those people that you know
floatin' in the river are logs.
Well let's take this potted plant
to the woods and set it free.
I'm gonna tell the owners
just how nice that was of me.

I could buy myself a reason.
I could sell myself a job.
I could hang myself on treason.
Oh I am my own damn god.
HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!!!

  • My brother showed me them for the first time today. This song stuck out the most. It's just so good. I wonder why I never checked them out before.

  • @letterstometro sweet, since your still new to Mouse, check out the really early work (This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About, The Lonesome Crowded West, Everywhere And His Nasty Parlour Tricks, Sad Sappy Sucker, etc...)

    Don't forget Building Nothing Out of Something and even The Moon and Antarctica, even though it's more recent. Those are must haves.
