Intro: Riff-1

 

Verse:
RRiff-2In the time of chimpanzees
I was a monkey
Butane in my veins
So I’m out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs,
Spray-paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
Kill the headlights
RRiff-1+Riff-2And put it in neutral
Stock car flaming’ with a loser
And the cruise control
Baby’s in Reno with the vitamin D
Got a couple of couches,
Sleep on the love seat
Someone keeps saying’
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
RRiff-1So shave your face
With some mace in the dark
Saving’ all your food stamps
And burning’ down the trailer park
(Yo. Cut it.)

 

Chorus:
RRiff-1+Riff-2Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?
Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?

 

Verse:
RRiff-2Forces of evil in a bozo nightmare
Banned all the music with a phony gas chamber
‘Cuz one’s got a weasel
And the other’s got a flag
One’s on the pole, shove the other in a bag
RRiff-1With the rerun shows
And the cocaine nose-job
The daytime crap of the folksinger slop
He hung himself with a guitar string
Slap the turkey-neck
And it’s hanging’ from a pigeon wing
RRiff-3You can’t write if you can’t relate
Trade the cash for the beef
For the body for the hate
And my time is a piece of wax
Falling’ on a termite
Who’s choking’ on the splinters

 

Chorus:
RRiff-1+Riff-2Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?
Soy un perdedor*
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?
