Discover the story of the song > Rusty Rake – SNFU

The lyrics are about the protagonist acknowledging that if he ever says something negative, he deserves to be punished. He compares himself to birds and pigs, saying that birds eat worms and pigs eat turd, just like he deserves to be hurt with a rusty rake if he says something discouraging. He also mentions that he has no real reason to complain and bitch about things, so he suggests slapping his face with a salmon steak as another punishment.
