Lyrics for Album: Bad Hair Day
  
               
  17200>As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain
 I take a look at my wife and realize she's very plain
 But that's just perfect for an Amish like me
 You know I shun fancy things like electricity
 At 4:30 in the mornin' I'm milkin' cows
 Jebadiah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows, fool
 And I've been milkin' and plowin' so long 
 That even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone
 I'm a man of the land, I'm into discipline
 Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin
 But if I finish all of my chores, and you finish thine
 Then tonight were gonna party like it's 1699
  We been spendin' most our lives
 Livin' in an Amish paradise
 I churned butter once or twice
 Livin' in an Amish paradise
 It's hard work and sacrifice
 Livin' in an Amish paradise
 We sell quilts at discount price
 Living' in an Amish paradise
  A local boy kicked me in the butt last week
 I just smiled at him and I turned the other cheek
 I really don't care, in fact I wish him well
 Cause I'll be laughin' my head off when he's burnin' in Hell
 But I never punched a tourist even if he deserved it
 An Amish with a 'tude?  You know thats unheard of
 I never wear buttons, but I got a cool hat
 And my homies agree I really look good in black, fool
 If you come to visit you'll be bored to tears
 We haven't even paid the phone bill in 300 years
 But we ain't really quaint so please don't point and stare
 We're just technologically impaired
  Theres no phones, no lights, no motor cars
 Not a single luxury
 Like Robinson Coruso, it's as primitive as can be
  We been spendin' most our lives 
 Livin' in an Amish paradise
 Were just plain and simple guys 
 Livin' in an Amish paradise
 There's no time for sin and vice 
 Livin' in an Amish paradise
 We don't fight we all play nice 
 Livin' in an Amish paradise
  Hichin' up the buggy, churnin' lots of butter
 Raise a barn on Monday, soon I'll raise an udder
 Think your really righteous, think your pure at heart?
 Well I know, I'm a million times as humble as thou art
 I'm the pious guy, the little omlettes wanna be like
 On my knees day and night, scorin' points for the after life
 So don't be vain, and don't be whiney
 Or else my brother, I might have to get medieval on your heinie
  We been spendin' most our lives
 Livin' in an Amish paradise
 We're all crazy Menonites
 Livin' in an Amish paradise
 There's no cops or traffic lights
 Livin' in an Amish paradise
 But you'd probably think it bites
 Livin' in an Amish paradise
