The Lyrics
So you wanna be an Amish superstar
And live large,
Your old house, big farms,
With lotsa cows.
Seperate from the world, got horse and buggy.
We shun electricity constantly
I remember the days when I was a young kid, growin' up
Plowin' in the field, dreamin' about gettin' up.
At 8 o'clock, AM
That would be lovely.
Take a normal bath and drive an actual car notta' buggy.
It's funny
How impossible dreams manifest
I got drafted into this game of life, nevertheless
You got to go for the big dough,
Reality shows,
About the Amish going heathen,
For about almost a week and,
I'm losin' some of myself to the present, new guy.
Wearing me a swimsuit for once, the color white.
Ole' Ezekiel getting physical,
Plows, no more to pull.
Knee deep, Amish boys are cool.
Amish Paradise, fool.
Signed a deal see the world and how it feels,
But never will 'til he crosses over, still
Losing the black, with bad hygeine,
Come with me
Show the sacrifice it takes to make the Gs
So you're now an Amish superstar, in the biz
The reality for those who don't know what it is
At first it was fun and game,
But the price of fame is nigh,
And some can't choose a way.
Feel trapped in that LA complex,
Tell me what's a CD, DVD, SFX,
Isiah sees me on the heathen's bigscreen.
God's man for fame
With repsect, won't change,
Love women and Yankovic rags on your name
So you wanna be an Amish superstar
And live large,
Your old house, big farms,
With lotsa cows.
Seperate from the world, got horse and buggy.
We shun electricity constantly
To be an Amish superstar
And live large,
Your old house, big farms,
With lotsa cows.
Seperate from the world, got horse and buggy.
We shun electricity constantly
You ever have big dreams
Of makin' buttercream.
Real men, churning butter on the bigscreen.
I used to be ugly,
In the buggy
Now a star and wearing plaid is lovely.
You wanna have big fame
Let me explain
What happens to the Amish and their big brains
Life on the TV for five whole weeks,
Find out who's the heathen, and what others are the freak.
Then you get dissed by the Menonites at home,
Things never stay the same way that you'd know.
I heard that some sects parted ways with some Amish,
Now Zephaniah's starting to big up major conflicts.
Think everything's fine in the big time
Eating real food, not home cooked but french fried.
So you wanna go far and live large
It ain't all that goes for the Amish allstars.
So you wanna be an Amish superstar
And live large,
Your old house, big farms,
With lotsa cows.
Seperate from the world, got horse and buggy.
We shun electricity constantly
Now we the Amish superstars,
And live large,
Your old house, big farms,
With lotsa cows.
Seperate from the world, got horse and buggy.
We shun electricity constantly
My own son disowned me,
I'm chillin' in the LA complex lonely
But I thank God I'm with my homies
But sometimes I wish I was back home
The place with no radio or any electricity.
No drugs, telephony
Buggys hit the road solely
Everyone know you and you know everybody.
We rode horses not a pony,
And the press say that
My own people disown me
And the best way back
Is to keep your hat straight, never inflate the cranium
Keep wearing our black not the color or geraniums.
We're as strange as the Klingon, swing on
And so forth, go on, fall off, the reality show's gone.
To the next Amish superstar, with new fame
Go down a path, chose the righteous or the shamed.
The same as the last one who came before him
Gained fame started gettin' ignored, I warned him
Assured him
This ain't easy
Take it from me see,
Sleazy people wanna be so cheesy
They're freakin' evil
So you wanna be an Amish superstar
And live large,
Your old house, big farms,
With lotsa cows.
Seperate from the world, got horse and buggy.
We shun electricity constantly
Now we the Amish superstars,
And live large,
Your old house, big farms,
With lotsa cows.
Seperate from the world, got horse and buggy.
We shun electricity constantly
