The Satanic Cowboy Lyrics

Satanic cowboy, demonic hillbilly
Possesses country folk to Nashville southern rockabilly
My man's got problems, he ain't wrapped too tight
I've seem him trotting around on his headless horse at night
He's known to hit the scene, he poses in the nude
He started his own cult of redneck biker dudes
Known irreverently to some as The Overlord's Anxiety
Claims they're a reflection of what's wrong with society

Shit's going down so get the fuck out of town
Shit's going down so get the fuck underground
Shit's going down so get the fuck out of town
Shit's going down so get the fuck underground

Root of all evil is the smile of a demon
An inebriated slob on gin and tonic, blood and semen
He'll spawn his seed until this town becomes a petting zoo
Hearing voices in his head singing rock n' roll's the Devil's tool
Rock n' roll's the Devil's tool that's what they always told you
Now he reaps the benefits of records that they sold you
We must confront the incubus and see that he dies
So the townspeople gathered and they planned his demise

Shit's going down so get the fuck out of town
Shit's going down so get the fuck underground
Shit's going down so get the fuck out of town
Shit's going down so get the fuck underground
So
Get
The
Fuck out of town

Know!
Know!
Know!
Know!

It's just a complex, another personality
It's just a complex, another personality
It's just a complex, another personality
It's just a complex, another personality

There was a little boy whose daddy drank too much
And then he beat him up, I said he beat him up
There was a little boy whose daddy drank too much
And then he beat him up, I said he beat him up
There was a little boy whose daddy drank too much
And now he's all grown up, I said he's all grown up!

Shit's going down so get the fuck out of town
Shit's going down so get the fuck underground
Shit's going down so get the fuck out of town
Shit's going down so get the fuck underground

I think this song is about the complex that redneck fathers will raise their children into the same thing they have become, a redneck. When really the child will probably resent his father for that...and revolt in doing many things his father will deem "Evil." When in essence evil isn't something in materialistic it's something we create, an image, an oppinion.

Although that seems probable as to what it means I also think this song might have to do with the ever dreaded 'poser' (whatever that may be) of a stereotype

Talking about a guy who went around town trying to be badass and feared by making it seem like everything he did was evil and bad, and trying to get attention for it EA: listening to rock music, hearing 'voices' in his head, riding a headless horse and all that. "Hearing voices in his head Singing rock n' rolls the devils tool"

Rock n' rolls the devil's tool That's what they always told you Now he reaps the benefits Of records that they sold you We must confront the incubus "

I think that^ might be a them saying that you cant let this guy get the better of you, you have to kick his ass so he doesnt win.
