Lyrics: Who's this guitar-playing son-of-a-bitch is a question common asked.
On his head a bucket of chicken bones, on his face a plastic mask.
He's the bastard son of a preacher man, on the town he left a stain.
They made him live in a chicken house to try to and hide the shame.
He was born in a coop, raised in a cage. children fear him, critics rage.
Hes half alive, hes half dead. folks just call him buckethead.
Farmboys they torment him, as he snuggled with the hens.
They hose him down with water, and steal his little friends.
And late at night he'd sneak off to the graveyard all alone,
And play his soap-box guitar to the faces made of stone.
Buckethead found his freedom at the age of 17,
When he burned the chicked house down with a quart of gasoline.
He did a couple of shows on corners and bought a real guitar,
And with the help of colonel sanders, he's bound to be a star.
He was born in a coop, raised in a cage. children fear him, critics rage.
Hes half alive, hes half dead. folks just call him buckethead.
