00:00:03.306 --> 00:00:13.622
"Amish Paradise"

00:00:13.622 --> 00:00:16.473
As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain

00:00:16.473 --> 00:00:19.489
I take a look at my wife and realize she's very plain

00:00:19.489 --> 00:00:21.956
But that's just perfect for an Amish like me

00:00:21.956 --> 00:00:24.939
You know, I shun fancy things like electricity

00:00:24.939 --> 00:00:28.038
At 4:30 in the morning I'm milkin' cows

00:00:28.038 --> 00:00:31.633
Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows... fool

00:00:31.633 --> 00:00:34.127
And I've been milkin' and plowin' so long that

00:00:34.127 --> 00:00:37.006
Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone

00:00:37.006 --> 00:00:39.724
I'm a man of the land, I'm into discipline

00:00:39.724 --> 00:00:42.823
Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin

00:00:42.823 --> 00:00:45.806
But if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine

00:00:45.806 --> 00:00:49.288
Then tonight we're gonna party like it's 1699


00:00:49.288 --> 00:00:54.974
We been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise

00:00:54.974 --> 00:01:00.724
I've churned butter once or twice
Living in an Amish paradise

00:01:00.724 --> 00:01:06.607
It's hard work and sacrifice
Living in an Amish paradise

00:01:06.607 --> 00:01:12.451
We sell quilts at discount price
Living in an Amish paradise


00:01:12.451 --> 00:01:15.206
A local boy kicked me in the butt last week

00:01:15.206 --> 00:01:18.282
I just smiled at him and turned the other cheek

00:01:18.282 --> 00:01:20.657
I really don't care, in fact I wish him well

00:01:20.657 --> 00:01:23.791
'Cause I'll be laughing my head off when he's burning in hell

00:01:23.791 --> 00:01:26.692
But I ain't never punched a tourist even if he deserved it

00:01:26.692 --> 00:01:29.758
An Amish with a 'tude? You know that's unheard of

00:01:29.758 --> 00:01:32.508
I never wear buttons but I got a cool hat

00:01:32.508 --> 00:01:36.059
And my homies agree, I really look good in black...fool

00:01:36.059 --> 00:01:38.408
If you come to visit, you'll be bored to tears

00:01:38.408 --> 00:01:41.508
We haven't even paid the phone bill in 300 years

00:01:41.508 --> 00:01:44.509
But we ain't really quaint, so please don't point and stare

00:01:44.509 --> 00:01:47.035
We're just technologically impaired

00:01:47.035 --> 00:01:50.078
There's no phone, no lights, no motorcar

00:01:50.078 --> 00:01:53.162
Not a single luxury

00:01:53.162 --> 00:01:56.027
Like Robinson Crusoe

00:01:56.027 --> 00:01:59.327
It's as primitive as can be

00:01:59.327 --> 00:02:05.127
We been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise

00:02:05.127 --> 00:02:11.010
We're just plain and simple guys
Living in an Amish paradise

00:02:11.010 --> 00:02:17.043
There's no time for sin and vice
Living in an Amish paradise

00:02:17.043 --> 00:02:23.010
We don't fight, we all play nice
Living in an Amish paradise

00:02:23.010 --> 00:02:25.628
Hitchin' up the buggy, churnin' lots of butter

00:02:25.628 --> 00:02:28.561
Raised a barn on Monday, soon I'll raise another

00:02:28.561 --> 00:02:31.288
Think you're really righteous? Think you're pure in heart?

00:02:31.288 --> 00:02:34.479
Well, I know I'm a million times as humble as thou art

00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:37.260
I'm the pious guy the little Amlettes wanna be like

00:02:37.260 --> 00:02:40.580
On my knees day and night scorin' points for the afterlife

00:02:40.580 --> 00:02:42.710
So don't be vain and don't be whiny

00:02:42.710 --> 00:02:46.278
Or else, my brother, I might have to get medieval on your heinie

00:02:46.278 --> 00:02:52.010
We been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise

00:02:52.010 --> 00:02:57.794
We're all crazy Mennonites
Living in an Amish paradise

00:02:57.794 --> 00:03:03.693
There's no cops or traffic lights
Living in an Amish paradise

00:03:03.693 --> 00:03:09.829
But you'd probably think it bites
