Beers Steers & Queers
Revolting Cocks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Minds are empty, heads are hollow

You might find out, the truth is hard to swallow

There's a place down there, where heads are square

Laws are tough, you are bare
There is a law and there is a lawman

Who is the right and who is the wrong man

It doesn't take much to kill that guy

Don't get in my face and ask me why

Texas is the place, hang 'em high

Beers, steers and queers

Beers, steers and queers

Texas is full of women and willies

Eyes too close, [Incomprehensible] hillbillies

Who are these people, raised in bars

[Incomprehensible] sex on farms

Texas hoedown, this is the lowdown

You're full of shit, destined to go down

Let's go down, herd 'em up

If you agree, then let's word 'em up

And if you don't then shut the fuck up

Beers, steers and queers

Beers, steers and queers

I've spent my life, go kicking shit

Not gonna give up, ain't about to quit

Life is a bucket of gettin' rough, feeding stock

Get in my way? I'll knock you off

Beers, steers and queers

Beers, steers and queers

Beers, steers and queers

Beers, steers and queers

I'm a crazy mother in a drunken state

A redneck asswipe, who thinks he's great

So full of shit, diarrhea for fingers

Everywhere I go, personality lingers

Say you don't like my dialect

I don't give a damn, so fuck your respect

If you're looking for a reason, don't look any further

'Cause I'll give it to you baby, just like your father

Take what you get if it does the job

Texas has religion, Revolting Cocks

Beers, steers, and queers

Beers, steers, and queers

This is outta the house

And outta the house music

I am the creator

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Revolting Cocks’ “Beers, Steers and Queers” are a commentary on the toxic, macho culture prevalent in Texas, particularly in rural areas. The song derisively observes that the minds of people in Texas are empty, and the laws are tough. The lyrics suggest that there is a place where people are conformist and square-headed, with no capacity for independent thought. The state's laws are depicted as harsh, with no leeway for tolerance or diversity. The singer suggests that whoever is holding the lawbook determines what is right or wrong.


The second verse is a more specific critique of the state's cowboy culture, which the singer sees as being full of ignorant, closed-minded people. The state is depicted as being full of both women and men who engage in beasts, drink beer excessively, and look down upon non-conformists. The chorus repeats as the lyrics become more pugnacious, with the singer threatening to knock anyone down who gets in his way. In summary, the song's lyrics are a scathing commentary on Texas culture, which the singer sees as oppressive, ignorant, backward, and unfriendly to outsiders.
