    Story Behind the Song
    "Oh Yeah" was penned by singer Floppy while he was on duty as a movie theatre ticket-taker the day he was fired. This song was Strawman's most successful, having helped them chart nationally on CMJ's Radio Top 200 list in 1999, with 65 stations placing it in their top 30 playlists, and more than 160 stations spinning it.

    Lyrics
    Heroes are asleep while the lava seeps.
    Murderers creep through the city streets.
    The president's dead,
    No one can find his head.
    But his spokesman said,
    "At least he's not a red."
    People on the TV
    Beggin' "Give to me please"
    But those asleep at your feet
    Ain't any less hungry.
    The days of playing fair
    Are incredibly rare;
    It's a terrible state of affairs.

    Oh Yeah.

    Government in DC
    Taking all our money.
    But try to find a subsidy
    That isn't taken already.
    The days of playing fair
    Are incredibly rare.
    It's a terrible state of affairs.

    Oh Yeah.
    We're going to change the world.
    This is how we do it.
    Really nothing to it.
    Put your heads together.
    We can do whatever.
    Oh Yeah.
