This one opens real nice thrashy and screamy haha, how an album should open! Pantera lets you know they're there haha love the intro in this one. This song is in my opinion about MTV and how it is all corrupt and shitty recycled music. That the MTV 'musicians' just copy and rip off other good musicians just to make a profit. MTV is bullshit and is pissed about it I feel is the summary of this song haha. Dimes guitar at 1:53 sounds so good, classic dime tone! Enjoy!

🎤 Lyrics 🎤

[Verse 1]
It's wearing on my mind
I'm speaking all my doubts aloud
You rob a dead man's grave
Then flaunt it like you did create

[Chorus 1]
If I hit bottom and everything's gone
In the great Mississippi, please drown me and run

[Bridge 1]
It's digging time again
You're nurturing the weakest trend

[Chorus 2]
Those with the heart and the brain to get past this
Can spot a pathetic without even asking

[Verse 2]
Fuck your magazine, and
Fuck the long dead plastic scene
Pierce a new hole
If Hell was "in" you'd give your soul to

[Chorus 3]
The Great Southern Trendkill
That's right
The Great Southern Trendkill
[Verse 3]
Buy it at a store
From MTV to on the floor
You look just like a star
It's proof you don't know who you are

[Chorus 1]
If I hit bottom and everything's gone
In the great Mississippi, please drown me and run

[Bridge 2]
It's bullshit time again
You'll save the world within your trend

[Chorus 2]
Those with the heart and the brain to get past this
Can spot a pathetic without even asking

[Verse 3]
Politically relieved
Your product sold and well received
The right words spun in gold
If I was God you'd sell your soul to

[Chorus 3]
The Great Southern Trendkill
That's right
The Great Southern Trendkill, fuck yeah!
Huah!
[Breakdown]
Let's do this one Southern style

"Anselmo hates that many of their contemporary musicians were selling out to appeal to a larger audience like the record companies wanted, and were betraying their roots (“Politically relieved, your product sold and well received”). He feels their music often seems to lack passion and be more of a product to be sold than a piece of art, which is what music should be.

Anselmo even jokingly says that if he was God (here meaning the record company that these sellouts have to betray their roots for), they would ironically have to try to be like Pantera (symbolized as the southern trendkill snake). They would have to get on the Pantera bandwagon against the bandwagon."

The Great Southern Trendkill is the eighth studio album by American heavy metal band Pantera, released on May 7, 1996 through East West Records. It reached number 4 on the Billboard 200 chart, and stayed on the chart for 16 weeks. Phil Anselmo recorded the vocals alone at Trent Reznor's Nothing Studios in New Orleans[3] while Dimebag Darrell, Rex Brown, and Vinnie Paul recorded the music at Chasin Jason Studios in Dalworthington Gardens.

Considered Pantera's most aggressive album,[4] The Great Southern Trendkill is known for featuring much screaming,[5][6] most notably on "Suicide Note Pt. II" and "The Great Southern Trendkill" while also featuring some of the fastest tempos and most down-tuned guitars ("The Underground in America" and "(Reprise) Sandblasted Skin" were played in standard D flat tuning, with the 6th string tuned to a low G flat.)[citation needed] that the band ever recorded. It also has a more experimental nature, such as the acoustic guitars[4] and ballads.[7]

Unlike Pantera's first three major label albums, the vocals are often double-tracked and layered to create a more "demonic" effect.[citation needed] An example of this can be heard in the chorus of "13 Steps to Nowhere", when Phil Anselmo's singing voice is backed up by high-pitched screaming, done by Seth Putnam of the band Anal Cunt.[8] Screams done by Anselmo on the song "The Great Southern Trendkill" were compared to Putnam.[9]

The lyrical themes on The Great Southern Trendkill include drugs, a flood that ends mankind, finding deeper meaning, anger, and the media.[4][7][10][11][12][13] The album features elements of thrash metal[5][14] and death metal,[9] but is mostly considered a groove metal album overall.[5]
