lyrics

Some people wear hats to hide their physical faults.
Like bald spots and gaping wounds from violent physical activity.
Some people wear hats just to fit in.
And these hats speak for themselves.
Some people wear hats indoors to rebel.
And in doing so they break a long standing tradition, flipping the middle finger bird to proper etiquette.

Some people make their pets wear hats because they think it is cute.
For similar reasons, some people dress their little children up like sailors.

There are many different occupational hats:
A baseball player wears a baseball cap.
A cowboy wears a cowboy hat.
Sometimes cowboys wear baseball caps
and baseball players wear cowboy hats
and the world falls further into disarray
and nobody seems to really care.

Hats often serve a practical purpose.
Construction hard hats assist in construction.
Propeller beanies assist in flight.
Thinking caps cause rapid changes in atmospheric pressure resulting in violent brainstorms.

Sometimes hats serve no purpose at all but merely provide presence.
But this in itself is a vital purpose, often overlooked.
These are the hats we must appreciate the most:
the salt of the earth,
the middle class,
the blue collar heroes.
