The Gregory Brothers' song "Smash Smash Smash!" tells the story of a hitchhiker who finds themselves in a dangerous situation. The song begins with the hitchhiker reflecting on the common advice of not hitchhiking. However, they find themselves grateful that they were hitchhiking because they witness a woman in danger. As the hitchhiker realizes the danger, they take action and run up behind the dangerous person with a hatchet, using it to smash and attack them. The repetitive chorus of "smash, smash, smash" emphasizes the violent nature of the situation. The lyrics then take a turn towards a more positive message. The song highlights that everyone deserves respect, regardless of their mistakes, looks, skills, age, or size. They express that each individual is lovable and valuable, and nobody can take that worthiness away from them. The second verse tells a further story of the hitchhiker being in the passenger side of the dangerous person's car. The driver claims to be Jesus Christ and starts behaving erratically, eventually crashing into someone and grabbing one of the women trying to help. This prompts the hitchhiker to once again take action and attack the dangerous driver with the hatchet. Overall, the song seems to present a message of empowerment, standing up against danger, and recognizing one's own worth.
