a song about a guy every musician in Red Deer knows

We are a ragtag bunch of musicians who wander the planet in search of artistic fulfillment. That's what my daddy said, anyway. You'll laugh, You'll cry, You'll
This band was formed in the studio in Innisfail Alberta. We consist of Arvin on guitars and Electric Bass, Kirk on keyboards, Kent on drums, and Rick on Guitar, with Dixie singing backup. The band was more of a studio band, with no prospects for performing live. Despite that deficit, the song "shit flies" achieved international airplay, ironically beginning in Palermo, Italy, gradually making it onto the radio waves in North America, in such markets as New York City, New Jersey, Hamilton Ontario, and Edmonton, Alberta, among others. The song also achieved a strong web presence on such websites as MP3.com, and Gay.com. The song still has a strong web presence, and can even be picked up on Japanese and Russian websites, which the members of the band had nothing to do with.

Story behind the song
The song was written a couple of years ago at the studio of A&R productions, when the 3 collaborators got together and decided to write songs. We were all coming from different musical directions and experiences, but had one thing in common...a person whom every musician in the area has come into contact with, and in one way or another has made their lives miserable. We decided therefore, to write this song before others beat us to it. It proved to be amazingly popular in this community because of its background, and the fact that any musician in the area could instantly relate to the song. It began to receive a wider audience when it was discovered purely by chance that most people have run into someone like the person described in the song, and are able to relate to the expression in their own way...
Lyrics
Where you gonna be when the pig train comes Cause you can't fool the sh** flies You think you're a doctor and a lawyer and a cop But you can't fool the sh** flies When I see that train comin' down the track I better be lookin' at your back Cause you can't fool the sh** flies And that's the way the sh** flies They're all a buzzin' around your head Cause you can't fool the sh** flies And they all know you smell like you're dead But you can't foo the sh** flies They're buzzin' around you The saving grace But they all see it flying in your face Cause you can't fool the sh** flies And that's the way the sh** flies (Instrumental) You're telling everybody a different tale But you can't fool the sh** flies And nothing's gonna keep the doctor out of jail Cause you can't fool the sh** flies You sh** your friends and I'll sh** mine But you better move it on down the line Cause you can't fool the sh** flies sh** flies.... sh** flies....
