Beck – Pay No Mind

(this is song two on the album

this is the album right here

burn the album)

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 ‘n’ 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

sleep in slime

I just got signed

so get out your lead-pipe 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 [x7]

(note: on the vinyl version of “Pay No Mind” the lead-in is simply Beck counting. And there’s an extra verse which goes:

Somebody burned down the picnic

Someone kissed their own ass by mistake

The cliches are turning into people

With the greeting cards glued to their face
