[VERSE 1]
Some think I'm crazy, that my brain cells are looser
But truthfully I'm just a clone of myself from the future
I've seen enough to know the cookie will crumble
And when the war hits your front door, I'll be here to debunk a couple

Computers have already beaten the communists at chess
Pretty soon they'll be beatin' humans, they're obviously vexxed
Fidel Castrol stole my lawnmower to make a submarine to egress
One by one your friends will be desert you and, yes, I'll be next

Peanuts are emitting toxins as evolutionary defense
They're tired of being eaten, it's a revolutionarily direct
2 for one pizza coupons are there to fatten you up
Then Red Cross removes your entrails to put on another one

Tell me! Is there any proof that Hawaii exists?
Don't read your encyclopedia, it'll deny the keen witted
I'm unsociable, unsmokable, truthful in the quotables 
I am most definitely not crazy, dear listener, I am unknowable

I'm Rusty Shackleford

[HOOK]
I could show you how to make a bomb out of a roll of toilet paper and a stick of dynamite
That shit sound kinda nice

[VERSE 2]
I love my son Joseph, but I wonder how he got so athletic
We don't look alike, sound alike, nor do we have the same interests
Discovery Channel told me it takes 9 months to develop babies
9 months before his birth, shoot, I wasn't with my lady

I was 500 miles away studying alien abductions
The misses had a headache keeping her far from the function
I told my buddy john to keep watch over Nancy in my absence
Take good care of her should anything ever happen

To the strapping young shackleford, alias for my namesake
Stalking space travelers traveling through the spaceways
I'm telling you, these aliens knew that I was getting close to the truth
(Whatever that means) Honestly, I wouldn't know it, but look

They probably got my wife pregnant with their souped up space juice
To keep surveilance on me, to distant from the breakthrough
No other options could be my son's real father
But either or, whatever, I love my son regardless
I'm Rusty Shackleford

[VERSE 3]
Someone knocked at my door today and I think I saw a ghost
Claiming to be Rusty Shackleford, my jaw dropped at the quote
He was claiming he knew i was Dale and that i stole 
His first name 
(And surname) Smoking the same cigarette brand since third grade

I replied "this couldn't be, he died when he about eight" 
His retort, that's falsehood, his family had simply moved away 
Identity theft was the crime and that I'm ruining his life 
Matter of fact (he's correct!) but I'm not doing time

"We need to settle this right now Gribble" he says reaching in his pocket
What is that, a gun? Die like a man, or take me hostage
He pulls out papers "just sign these so I can move on with my life
Sigh........ (you're lucky I'm out of pocket sand) Fine

John Hancock delivered, better than Russian Roulette fam
You get off my property whoever i am
I'm not Rusty Shackleford
