Well, when people point out the bad effects of music they usually point at the rappers, and I have to agree that most of it, well all i've heard anyway, is crap. But, there is crap and bad messages in all music categories today. This one says, "he may be a piece of crap, but he was my piece of crap and see what I did when he cheated". Then people sit back and wonder what the (&%^ is wrong with people today.
"Before He Cheats"
Right now he's probably slow dancing with a bleached-blond tramp,
and she's probably getting frisky...
right now, he's probably buying her some fruity little drink
'cause she can't shoot whiskey...
Right now, he's probably up behind her with a pool stick,
showing her how to shoot a combo...
And he don't know...
That I dug my key into the side
of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seats...
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires...
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.
