Redneck
Lamb of God Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You make it spill on the page
So drunk on yourself, self-righteous
A laughing stock of your own fucking stage
Oh but I ain't one to call names
Or throw stones in a house of glass
You try me
This is a motherfuckin' invitation
The only one you could ever need
This is a motherfuckin' invitation
You try me
Just one time you got a reason
Heard you had nothing to lose
A blind preacher for the pin-eyed congregation
It must be easy to lose
Oh but I ain't one to call names
Or throw stones in a house of glass
You try me
This is a motherfuckin' invitation
The only one you could ever need
This a motherfuckin' invitation
You try me
You can tell the same lie a thousand times
But it never gets any more true
So close your eyes once more and once more believe
That they all still believe in you
Just one time
This is a motherfuckin' imitation
The only one you could ever need
This a motherfuckin' invitation
Just one time
This is a motherfuckin' invitation
Ya' try me
Just one time (ya' try me)
Just one time (ya' try me)
Ya' try me
The lyrics to Lamb of God's "Redneck" talk about someone who is arrogant and self-righteous. The singer finds this person easy to write about and even says they are a laughing stock on their own stage. However, the singer resists calling the person out by name or throwing stones in a house of glass.
The chorus then declares that this is a "motherfuckin' invitation" for the person to try the singer. The invitation is said to be the only one the person ever needs. The lyrics continue to talk about how easy it must be to lose for someone who is blind to their own arrogance. The singer calls the person out for telling the same lie a thousand times but never making it any truer. The song ends with the singer challenging the person to try them, making it clear that they won't back down.
The song is a commentary on self-righteousness and arrogance, and the consequences that come with those attitudes. The singer sees through the faƧade and is willing to stand up against it. The song has become an anthem for many who have dealt with people like the one described in the song.
Line by Line Meaning
So goddamn easy to write this
It feels too effortless to write something like this
You make it spill on the page
It's like it just flows out of you effortlessly and ends up on paper
So drunk on yourself, self-righteous
You're too full of yourself to see your flaws and weaknesses
A laughing stock of your own fucking stage
You're not taken seriously and people are laughing at you rather than with you
Oh but I ain't one to call names
I might have criticisms but I won't stoop so low as to insult you
Or throw stones in a house of glass
I won't attack your vulnerability and make things worse
You try me
You're testing my patience and seeing how far you can push me
This is a motherfuckin' invitation
I'm inviting you to come at me with everything you've got
The only one you could ever need
This is the ultimate challenge that you won't be able to resist
Just one time you got a reason
You may have a valid excuse to act out against me just this once
Heard you had nothing to lose
I've heard that you're desperate and don't have anything to lose by going after me
A blind preacher for the pin-eyed congregation
You're trying to lead others who can't see the truth because you yourself are blind
It must be easy to lose
It's easy to lose sight of what's really important when you're just following the crowd
You can tell the same lie a thousand times
You can repeat a lie over and over, but it won't make it true
But it never gets any more true
The lie will never become true no matter how many times you say it
So close your eyes once more and once more believe
You're trying to fool yourself again by ignoring reality and believing in the lie
That they all still believe in you
You're desperately clinging to the idea that people still have faith in you
This is a motherfuckin' imitation
You're trying to copy me, but you'll never measure up
Just one time
I'll give you one chance to prove yourself
Ya' try me
Just try me and see what happens
