about

Clem’s battle cry to bullies and abusers as an ally to women!
Happy to take the workload off of the women for a little bit, Clem challenges “the redneck fray” to “keep yer hands to yerself” and if “yer part of this problem that I’m talkin’ about, then Don’t Be An Asshole, Man”!
Seems pretty straightforward right? But the video for this song has been out for 2 years and still seems the message needs reinforcing.

lyrics

Verse 1

There’s been a lot of clickin’ and hashtagging around this town

About the kind of man, that keeps a woman down

Mr. I’m here to tell you there’s a brand new action plan

It’s called “Don’t Be An Asshole Man”!


Chorus

Don’t be an asshole, man

The women already understand

Exactly What it means to be dealt the losing hand,

Don’t be an Asshole, man!


Verse 2

Did you ever hear the saying “ keep yer hands to yerself”

Most women have to say it, by the time they’re twelve.

If yer part of this problem that I’m talkin about

Then Don’t be an asshole, man!


Chorus [see above]

Solo


Verse 3

It’s time for men to listen to what the women say.

Ole Clem’s gonna be unpopular, with the Redneck fray,

I don’t really give a shit if my politics offend, just

Don’t be an asshole, man!”


Chorus

Don’t be an asshole, man!

The women already understand.

Exactly What it means to be dealt the losing hand,

Don’t be an Asshole, man!
