Title
- In the time of chimpanzees, I was a monkey
- Butane in my veins and I'm out to cut the junkie
- With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables
- Dog food skulls with the beefcake pantyhose
- Kill the headlights and put it in neutral
- Stock car flaming with a loser in the cruise control
- Baby's in Reno with the vitamin-D
- Got a couple of couches, sleep on the loveseat
- Someone keeps sayin' I'm insane to complain about
- A shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt
- Don't believe everything that you breathe
- You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve
- So shave your face with some mace in the dark
- Saving all your food stamps and burnin' down the trailer park
- Yo cut it!
- Soy un perdidor, I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
- Double-barrel buckshot. . .
- Soy un perdidor, I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
- The forces of evil on a bozo nightmare
- Ban all the music with a phony gas chamber
- 'Cause one's got a weasel and other's got a flag
- One's on the pole, shove the other in a bag
- With the re-run shows and the cocaine nosejob
- The daytime crap of a folksinger slob
- He hung himself with a guitar string
- A slab of turkey neck and it's hanging from a pigeon wing
- And you can't write if you can't relate
- Trade the cash for the beat and body for the hate
- And my time is a piece of wax falling on a termite
- And it's choking on the splinters
- Soy un perdidor, I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
- Get crazy with the Cheez-Whiz. . .
- Soy un perdidor, I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
- Drive-by body pierce. . .yo bring it on down
- I'm a driver, I'm a winner . . . things are gonna change, I can feel it
- Soy un perdidor, I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
- I can't believe you!
- Soy un perdidor, I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
- Sprechen sie deutsche, baby... know what I'm saying?
- Tonight the city is full of morgues
- And all the toilets are overflowing
- There's shopping malls coming out of the walls
- As we walk out among the manure
- That's why I pay no mind, I pay no mind, I pay no mind
- Give the finger to the rock and roll singer
- As he's dancing upon your paycheck
- The sales climb high through the garbage pail sky
- Like a giant dildo crushing the sun
- That's why I pay no mind, I sleep in slime, I just got signed
- So get out your leadpipe pipe dreams
- Get out your ten-foot flags
- The insects are huge and the poison's all been used
- And the drugs won't kill your day job, honey
- That's why I pay no mind, I pay no mind, I pay no mind
- That's why I pay no mind, pay no mind, pay no mind
- I pay no mind, pay no mind, pay no mind
- (Extra verse)
- Somebody burned down the picnic
- Somebody kissed their own ass by mistake
- The cliches are turning into people
- With a greeting card glued to their face
- That's why I pay no mind, pay no mind, pay no mind
- I got a job making money for the man
- Throwing chicken in a bucket with a soda pop can
- Puke-green uniform on my back
- I had to set it on fire in a vat of chicken fat
- I leaped on the counter like a bird with no hair
- Running through the minimall in my underwear
- I got lost downtown, couldn't find a ride home
- Sun went down, I got frozen to the bone
- 'Til a hooker let me share her fake fur coat
- As I took a little nap, the cops picked up this fool
- I tried to explain I was only trying to get warm
- I knew I never ever should have burned my uniform
- He said, "Too bad, better bite the bullet hard, son."
- I didn't have no teeth, so I stole his gun
- And I crawled out the window with my shadow and a spoon
- Dancing on the roof, shooting holes in the moon
- 'Cause I ain't gonna work for no soul-suckin jerk
- I'm gonna take it all back and I ain't sayin' jack
- I ain't gonna work for no soul-suckin jerk
- I'm gonna take it all back and I ain't sayin' jack
- I'm standing right here with a beer in my hand
- And my mouth is full of sand and I don't understand
- Fourteen days, I been sleeping in a barn
- Better get a paycheck tattooed on my arm
- Whistling Dixie with the Dixie cup filled
- With the barbecue sauce and the dental floss chill
- Big fat veins pointing into my face
- Telling me to get busy cleaning up this place
- I got bent like a wet cigarette
- And she's coming after me with a butterfly net
- Riding on the bloodhound, ringing a bell
- Black cat wrapped and I'm rolling out to hell
- Pencil on my leg and I'm trying not to beg
- Taking turns baking worms with the bacon and eggs
- Now they got me in a birdcage flapping my jaw
- Like a parcel of stars just waiting to fall
- So give me what I got to get so I can go
- 'Cause I ain't washing dishes in a ditch no more
- I ain't gonna work for no soul-suckin jerk
- I'm gonna take it all back and I ain't sayin' jack
- I ain't gonna work for no soul-suckin jerk
- I'm gonna take it all back and I ain't sayin' jack
- No no no no, soul sucking jerk, soul sucking jerk
- No soul sucking jerk, soul sucking jerk
- I ain't gonna work for no soul-suckin jerk
- I'm gonna take it all back and I ain't sayin' jack
- Ain't gonna work for no soul-suckin jerk
- Ain't gonna work for no soul-suckin jerk
- Touch me on the inside with a finger full of gravy
- Wanna get you on the sofa, lady wanna shake and bake me
- Bucket full of blood, got you on my mind
- Gonna break my face on the sweet sunshine
- Bucket full of blood, got you on my mind
- Gonna break my face on the sweet sunshine
- I wanna get up off the floor
- I wanna run to the devil and get me some more
- I wanna get up off the floor
- I wanna run to the devil and get me some more
- Bottle full of pain with a hog's head screaming
- With a scumbag soul and a body always screaming
- Grab your wine, tell me where you been
- With the violin cryin' and the moon gettin' thin
- Grab your wine, tell me where you been
- With the violin cryin' and the moon gettin' thin
- I wanna climb up on the wall
- I wanna swing through the city on a wreckin' ball
- I wanna climb up on the wall
- I wanna swing through the city on a wreckin' ball
- Hail to the dawning of the plentiful sensation
- 'Cause the town is full of sound and I killed my last relation
- Bucket full of blood, got you on my mind
- Gonna break my face on the sweet sunshine
- Bucket full of blood, got you on my mind
- Gonna break my face on the sweet sunshine
- I wanna get up off the floor
- I wanna run to the devil and get me some more
- I wanna get up off the floor
- I wanna run to the devil and get me some more
- Alcohol on my hands, I got plans to ditch myself and get outside
- Dancing women throwing plates, decapitating their laughing dates
- Swirling chickens caught in flight, out of focus and much to bright
- Coming down, shiny teeth, game show suckers trying to breathe
- But I got a drug and I got the bug and I got something better than love
- How you like me now? Pretty good
- Going on, feeling strong
- I quit my job blowing leaves, telephone bills up my sleeves
- Choking like a one man dustball, freedom rock slimeball talking in code
- We went down, lit up the shack, grabbed me a beer out of the sack
- Everybody bent over twice, painting the walls, throwing some dice
- Leaping up into the air getting juiced up beyond belief
- And they were singin' like this!
- Winos throwing frisbees at the sun, burnt my soul between the bun
- Now I'm wounded, now I'm drunk, now I'm runnin' like a flaming pig
- Oh yeah, scraping off the attitude, old man eating all my food
- Don't be kind, don't be rude, just shake your boots and let it all get loose
- Oh yeah, my goodness
- Fluffy clouds, lovely rainbows
- I'm sad, a soft and snuggly place
- Fluffy clouds, I'm sad and unhappy...yppahnu dna das
- Winos throwing frisbees at the sun, burnt my soul between the bun
- Now I'm wounded, now I'm drunk, now I'm runnin' like a flaming pig
- Oh yeah, scraping off the attitude, old man eating all my food
- Don't be kind, don't be rude, just shake your boots and let it all get loose
- Oh yeah, I like it like that
- Oh that is cold
- Somebody put a flamethrower on that
- Uh-huh, oh my goodness!
- Take me down to the depot
- Somebody put me down on the bus
- Oh yeah, I like it like that
- Somebody burn me a plate of sassafrass
- Oh yeah...
- Put me in a hole in the ground
- With the money and the town
- And the women all running around
- Can't complain about the mess
- Mama killed her only dress
- Now she's longing for the pines
- Watch my troubles all unwind
- Drinking gasoline and wine
- Catch a chill off the stove
- On the train they cannot feel
- Lost my head beneath the wheel
- Now she steals my body home
- The trees are fake, the air is dead
- The birds are stuffed with poisoned lead
- And the ground is much too clean
- And if it's only me who's scared
- Strap into electric chairs
- Ring the moon like a broken bell
- When she drags you from the hill
- Daddy's gonna burn down there still
- We can watch it from the rooftop
- Lay into the frying pan
- Now she kisses her own hand
- With a fiddle on the fire
- I took a leap into the fog
- Sleeping on a hollow log
- Now I'm coughing with no mouth
- You can keep yourself inside
- But you know you cannot hide
- When the devil's your only friend
- She took me off my guard with disappointment
- I got sucked inside of her apartment
- She's got dried up flowers, flaky skin
- A beaded necklace, a bottle of gin
- She's a nitemare hippy girl
- With her skinny fingers fumbling my world
- She's a whimsical, tragical beauty
- Self-conscious and a little bit fruity
- It's a new-age letdown in my face
- She's so spaced out and there ain't no space
- She's got marijuana on the bathroom tile
- I'm caught in a vortex, she's changing my style
- She's a nitemare hippy girl
- With her skinny fingers fumbling my world
- She's a whimsical, tragical beauty
- Uptight and a little bit snooty
- She's a magical, sparkling tease
- She's a rainbow choking the breeze
- Yeah oh, she's busting out onto the scene
- With nitemare bogus poetry
- She's a melted avocado on the shelf
- She's the science of herself
- She's spazzing out on a cosmic level
- And she's meditating with the devil
- She's cooking salad for breakfast
- She's got tofu the size of Texas
- She's a witness to her own glory
- She's a neverending story
- She's a frolicking depression
- She's a self-inflicted obsession
- She's got a thousand lonely husbands
- She's playing footsie in another dimension
- She's a goddess milking her time
- For all that it's worth
- When we, when we looking for a better home
- Got me, got me burning out a light bulb
- Cloudy, cloudy holding to a wastecan
- Yellow car, yellow car put me inside there
- Wake up, wake up nothing's gonna harm you
- Glass wall, glass wall standing on the furniture
- Little boy, little boy layin' in a sleeping bag
- Watchin', watchin' through the cracks in his eyelids
- Stranger, stranger feeding on the broken snow
- Lost head, lost tread staring through the orange juice
- Alphabet, alphabet can't afford a telephone
- Blackhole, blackhole nothing's gonna harm you
