Lyrics:

To the landlord living inside my head
Never paid my rent till the lights went dead

Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey

Ohh hey ohh hey
Ohh hey ohh hey
Ohh hey ohh hey
Ohh hey ohh hey

I saw my sign coming up the road
Dead ditch waitin' for to bury my load
On the avenues in the plain of day
Threw a Roosevelt dime in a bucket of rain
Now hold your hand up to the plow
Work the dirt till the sun goes down
What's left of death is more than fear
Let dust be dust and the good Lord near

Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Ohh hey ohh hey

Kindness will find you
When darkness is falling round your bend
Kindness will follow
Children will wander till the end
Hey
Hey hey hey hey
Ohh hey ohh hey

The Song:

This is one of the more original remixes on Guerolito. It chops up the original, speeds it up, removes the bluesiness (there's none of the slide guitar anymore), and ends up with Beck's voice haunting some mixed up beats.

Th' Corn Gangg is a side project of the band Islands, who remixed "Que Onda Guero" for Guerolito. Beck's a fan of theirs, and they opened some shows for him, and he participated in this with them.
