96 Quite Bitter Beings Lyrics
down 20 miles to the sticks.
To the clouded town of Hellview: population 96.
Excessive vacancy, well maybe,
in the shadow of an eye.
All the strangers passin' through it,
where the rules just don't apply.
but on the right stay free from sight.
'Cause 96 Quite Bitter Beings
like to stack the bodies high.
The only way to ever leave
is overflooded by the storm.
And entanglement in Hellview
bring you fear in 50 forms.
at the bottom of the lake
to leave the blood stay in the veins.
All we ever wanted was an answer.
The civilized are close yet way too far.
All we ever wanted was an answer.
Footprints giving clue to where we are.
All we ever wanted was an answer.
The civilized are close yet way too far.
All we ever wanted....

"both songs are based off of the fictitious town of hellview. "96..." is about 2 strangers that drive through the town, get trapped there because of a flood, and spend the night fleeing from the 96 segregated outcasts that live there, who are not happy with their new inhabitors. "
Thanks so much! I'll have to check out Thanks For The Ride!

I am so sick of people calling this "the jackass shopping cart song"
Didja know that one of the guys who wrote the song (Jesse Marguera, the drummer) is the older brother of one of the Jackasses (Bam)? I don't think they'd mind too much.

self-explanatory "think horror movie" great lyrics, great riff, great song.

on the MTV show jackass everytime they do those shoping cart thing this song plays in the backround

this song laid the groundwork for CKY's next masterworks, Flesh into Gear and Escape from Hellview. which in turn lead into the album Carver City, the entire story is resolved in the song End of an Era.

great song; different sound, different lyrics.

deron miller is a huge horror movie fan. i believe it was actually inspired by a movie, however, i'm not sure about this.

hands down, best song on the album...its cool when it kicks in at the beginning

Well sry to say i never heard of em till THPS3. Then i was like weel damn might as welkl go out and but the disk and i did.

Definately agree with JCsExploder in that it is horror movie inspired. Sounds like a vampire movie ("And not one supports the cause To leave the blood stay in the veins")
"And not one supports the cause To leave the blood stay in the veins" - simply means that blood will be spilled from the veins. Not that it will be drank. That having been said, this song doesn't make me think "vampires" any more than it makes me think of "Jack Ass."
