Lyrics
It's so hard to make a living when you gotta shovel chicken shit every day
It's so hard to be religious when you gotta shovel chicken shit every day
It's so hard to be an American when you gotta shovel shit every day
It's so hard to be a human when you gotta shovel shit every day

It's so hard to pretend that you know what you're doing

Beautiful Disharmony!
Either you are a drunk cowboy act or I'm a drunk cowboy (or both). The
lyrics are fantastic, especially the hall-of-fame line: "...It's so hard to be
an American when you gotta shovel shit every day..." How poetic is this!?
I think the song goes a bit out on the scale of disharmony at times - I
understand it's a part of the song and all but I would suggest cleaning it
up a little bit... :) It's a very good song really. The silent brake is cool... I
could see a video being made to this: a cowboy band on stage, people
slow dancing, very serious mood, one drunk cowboy is letting a few tears
out over the shoulder of his Betty... I think this is another song that
proofs JOAN rules.

this is actually composed
You have to be careful now, making arrangements and compositions that is as good as this. You could risk beeing listened to by people who wanna pay you money to record or perform your stuff in public places...

I'm worried that a concert with JOAN could attract quite a few hundred - and they would be asking for autographs, throwing underrwear and flowers and stuff on stage..

So - its your call... are you sure you're ready for this?

:) Anyway - I'm a fan!

Maybe I find the inspiration and strength one late night..;)

I quit pretending....
...a long time ago. I just substitute living in my own little reality for
pretending. Right now, in my reality, I'm standing in my pasture with a
bunch of people at the annual Non-Reality Fest, with my lighter going,
swaying back and forth, listening to JOAN wrap up their three hour
concert. You guys were great, but the cops are coming to shut you down
now because the neighbors are complaining. I hope the crowd doesn't get
ugly....

yes, the REALITY police are a real buzzkill

The Story of Our Lives
This should be a campaign song for every politician and political party ,,,
I also hear where this can be sung in churches too.

I wish I could shovel shit
If I could make union scale, I would shovel it by the truckload. I love the
feel of this song. It reminds me of Pink Floyd Syd era. As if Pink Floyd
lived in Alabama and drank wood grain alcohol and huffed gas instead of
dropping tabs.
