This is track 1 on Volume 1 (1999) and is therefore the first commercially released CKY song, not counting the soundtrack to the CKY videos.
It is the first part in the “Hellview trilogy” which tells of a deranged town and its inhabitants. The town of Hellview was first referenced in a pre-Cky song...
[Verse 1]
With my perceptions in a mix down twenty miles through the sticks
To the cloudy town of Hellview: Population 96
Excessive vacancy, well maybe, in the shadow of an eye
All the strangers passing through and where the rules just don't apply
[Verse 2]
At the fork turn left, a store, but on the right stay free from sight
Cause 96 quite bitter beings like to stack the bodies high
The only way to ever leave is overflooded by the storm
And entanglement in Hellview brings you fear in fifty forms
They've deleted all the tourists at the bottom of the lake
And not one supports the cause to leave the blood stay in the veins
[Hook 1]
Here, three miles back is where we are
All we ever wanted was an answer
Civilized are close but way too far
All we ever wanted was an answer
[Hook 2]
Footprints giving clue to where we are
All we ever wanted was an answer
Civilized are close but way too far
All we ever wanted...
96 Quite Bitter Beings was written by Deron Miller.
