	Story Behind the Song Recorded at Consonance (Milpitas, CA) March 2, 2002 Lyrics Truth is stranger than fiction. Just take a thought and make it horrider. Then we will absolutely guarantee that it will happen in Florida. Our ballots are cute, shaped like a butterfly. I vote for Gore, or is it another guy? No problem -- our election officials will flount that they dress quite well though they just can't count. Come to surf and see the fishies. Rent a boat from a man named Keith. Enjoy the day on the gorgeous water and at sunset you find that the fish have teeth. To our culture you shall go, See the exhibits and what they show. There are wondrous museums, so don't be coy. See the fascist painter and the Cuban boy. The weekly papers in your grocery are written up by the warm, blue sea. They writers say, "Facts don't bother me, but don't send white stuff that's powdery." The air force bases in our state are here 'cause the flying weather is great. There are schools to teach and lend you a hand, and you don't have to learn to take off or land! From a history of racism and segregation, Florida keeps trying to join the nation. You may say that we are not from the South, but we keep putting our best foot in our mouth.
