Moeilijk te vertalen hoor, het grove cocksucker. We kwamen het tegen op zoek naar mannelijke gelijkgeslachtelijk minnende countryzangers (van vrouwen kan ik er wal wat bedenken). De scene is al niet erg vrouwvriendelijk (het “conservatieve” in de countrywereld is een betrekkelijk nieuwe ontwikkeling, zoals op zoveel punten), homovriendelijkheid hoeft men dus nog minder te verwachten. Verder speuren – wie weet wat het oplevert.
I’m fighting for when there won’t be no straight men
‘Cause you all have a common disease
Can’t give very much for loving and such
But you take it wherever you please
You all rap a story, you tell that glorious
Galahad’s gallop is near
But your lies can’t deceive me
I know that you’ll leave me
Cryin’ these Cocksucking Tears
By now you have guessed that I’m not too impressed
With your talents as an engineer
You build up your steeple and rivet more people
To keep it erect in the air
It seems you’ve forgotten your daydreams are rotten
Your ways are alarmingly clear
And your victories ain’t wanted as long as I’m haunted
With Cryin’ these Cocksucking Tears
Your victories ain’t wanted as long as I’m haunted
With Cryin’ these Cocksucking Tears
Sharing and caring isn’t quite daring
Enough for a spiff such as you
Spread your pollen about, then you bug out
When there’s railing and wailing to do
How long you been thinking that your shit ain’t stinking?
Well Mama’s done wiping your rear
You may need a wife sir, but I won’t spend my life sir
Crying these Cocksucking Tears
Looks like your enjoyment went on unemployment
There you are with your rose begging dew
So you lost all your magic, you think that it’s tragic
That no one will come cry for you
Well your sexism’s a broken record, record, record
It’s been screeching for ten thousand years
And the battle’s begun sir, I tell you I’m done sir
With Crying these Cocksucking Tears
And the battle’s begun sir, I tell you I’m done sir
With Crying these Cocksucking Tears
