Biography:
From the village of Makanda in extreme southern Illinois, in a little hollow called Vulture Valley, comes a "caustic acoustic cacophony" known as the Woodbox Gang. They have skillfully combined the American roots music styles of bluegrass, delta blues, folk, and traditional country with the aggressive delivery of punk rock to create their own style of music to which they have given the name "Trashcan Americana". The band is very interested in experimenting

First Rate Smokes
VERSE 1
C D
My name is Seymour Green
G
I'm an honest business man
C D
I make First Rate Smokes
G
From a warehouse in my van
C D
I've had some troubles
G
With the EPA
C D
I change my company name
G
Every other day
C D
I hire out workers
G
From Kentucky factories
C D
Who spend their days working for
G
R.J. Reynolds Industries
C D
They find me in the parking lot
G
When the factory whistle blows
C D
And we roll up all the tobacco
G
That gets stuck between their toes
Chorus
C D
Take off your shoes
G
It's time to go to work
CD G
It's 3am and we're setting up shop
C D
Take off your socks
G
Start scraping those nails
C D
If the ATF discovers us
G
It's GPCs from jail
VERSE 2
I'm in cahoots with some Canucks
Just above the borderline
They package all my products
With cute logos and designs
I distribute to truck stops
And small town liquor stores
They buy cases of cartons
And call me up for more
VERSE 3
Thrifty smokers don't mind
Where their cigarettes are from
All they really want
Is smoke and tar in their lungs
So if you ever buy a pack
Of First Rate Smokes
You know the tar won't kill you
But the smell will make you choke
