Lyrics

It's a Motherfucker
Being here without you
Thinking about the good times
Thinkin about the bad
And I won't ever be the same

It's a Motherfucker
Getting through a Sunday
Talking to the walls just me again

But I won't ever be the same
I won't ever be the same

It's a Motherfucker
How much I understand
The meaning that you need someone
I could take you be the hand

And you won't ever be the same
You won't ever be the same

E: I tried to make a statement with changing motherfucker into monstertrucker. To show how absurd it is.

Q: Why did you go with that?

Because Walmart is the only place fur much Americans to buy CDs. But to be honoust: it's more a sign to the recordcompany. We don't want to obstruct too much. They don't really earn that much money with us.

Q: Did you have to record a clean version of "It's A Motherfucker"?

E: Every day in the music business you're met with some hurdle you have to jump over. When they call and say, "You have to record a version of 'It's A Motherfucker' that doesn't say 'motherfucker,'" you have to stop and think what it's all about. To me, it's to have fun, to do something creative and to make a point. So I say, "OK, I'll make this version to illustrate how stupid it is that I have to record another version." I call it "It's A Monster Trucker" and I get on a CB radio and talk through the whole song in trucker lingo. But it's ridiculous -- that's the way people talk. I mean, it is a motherfucker. When they nailed Jesus to the cross, do you really think he went, "Yowch! That smarts!"?

Q: Well, do you really think he said, "Motherfucker"?

E: I don't know that he said, "Motherfucker," but come on, it's just a phrase.

Q: Taken literally, it's a profane notion.

E: Well, to take it literally, of course, but obviously I don't mean it that way. I'm not trying to fuck anyone's mother here. Let's just establish that right now.
