*This song was written long-before Kurt Cobain's suicide for all you you conspiracy theorists, although it is about suicide. Richard says the song is based on the 1987 suicide of Pennsylvania State Treasurer R. Bud Dwyer who shot himself during a television press conference.
Rich says Hey Man Nice Shot was created in a rehearsal hall he rented so he could play his Marshall amp really, really loud.
Kevin Kerslake directed the video.
Hey Man Nice Shot appears on the Demon Knight soundtrack and is featured in The Cable Guy during Jim Carrey's insane basketball scene. The song can also be heard in episode 52 "D.P.O." (season 3) of the X-Files television show when Darren Peter Oswald (Giovanni Ribisi) kills his friend (Jack Black) with lightning.*
I wish I would've met you
now it's a little late.
what you could've taught me
I could have saved some face
they think that your early ending
was all wrong
for the most part they're right
but look how they all got strong
that's why I say hey man, nice shot.
what a good shot man.
a man
has gun
hey man
have fun
nice shot
now that the smoke's gone
and the air is all clear
those who were right there
got a new kind of fear
you'd fight and you were right
but they were just too strong
they'd stick it in your face
and let you smell what they consider wrong.
that's why I say hey man, nice shot.
what a good shot man.
a man
has gun
hey man
have fun
nice shot.
I wish I would have met you
I wish I would have met you
I'd say
nice shot.
