Cause it hasn't been that long since you almost hit the tree. Cause it hasn't been that long since you hit the pole because of speed. Do you remember the ambulance it took you there? Do you remember they cut your pants your favorite pair? They shaved your head. Where's all your hair. The doctor said, "We need some staples for his head." The doctor said, "Another foot you could be dead." The doctor said, "We need some staples for his head." The doctor said, "You should have took the bus instead." All you could hear was kachunk, kachunk, kachunk. All you could hear was the doctor putting staples in this punk. He could have died that day. Which means that he would not be here. He would have gone away, friends and family we'd shed our tears. But, the good thing would be that we would always know. He would be living with Jesus Christ in his new home.

I don't know if this song is supposed to be serious or not, but it seems like it isn't. It's like one of those songs that jokes around, but the main point is serious: Don't be stupid.
Well, it's kinda supposed to be serious. I mean, all of this stuff could really happen...drive too fast and hit a tree and you'll end up getting staples in your skin to hold it together. The message is also serious, but it's not necessarily "don't be stupid", it's more like "be careful because people care about you, but if something does happen and you die, then you'd better make sure that you know where you're going."
do they mean speed as in fastness or the drug?? Is this another dont do drug song? hmmm I'm lost
I think that "speed" is just referring to fastness...say, the driver was going WAY too fast and lost control, so he hit a tree. But still, don't do drugs! :D
this song kicks ass and yes speed is fastness, i thought it was about skiing though. eh, oh well.
I think in some sense its supposed to be serious...to show what speeding and driving poorly can do. They're a good band and I dont think they would make fun of something like that.
I really like this song because it is unlike so many other songs that are out there. I mean, it's not every song on the radio that breaks away and screams KACHUNK! hehe... it makes me laugh. I do believe that it does have a serious side to it...especially to me who is going to get her liscense soon... don't drive too fast. But this is another goodie to sing/shout down the hallways at school lol
I burst out laughing when I first heard the kachunk kachunk! and the second and the third... and this last time too... it's just too funny
the idea that staples were holding his life together... it's reflective...
this song refers to one of the band member's brothers (i believe it was Pittman's bro). and its about that he could have died and everyone would be sad but they would be happy that he would go to heaven
