We like the boys
With the bullet proof vests
We like the girls
With the cellophane chests
We like to ride on executive planes
We like to sit around and get real paid

I know you really want it
Cos your Daddy's always on it
And he knows just how to flaunt it
He got pictures in his wallet
And he wanna be your lover
Does he look just like my mother
Does he cover you like butter
And just leave you in the gutter

I want to know if I'm worth your time
There's so much to do before you die
Thursday night, I think I'm pregnant again
Touch my ass if you're qualified

tell my baby I'm gettin' home now
tell my baby I'm gettin' home
she don't need me
I don't need me
who's gonna need me?

someone's cryin', somone's changin'
someone's stayin' just the same
she don't live here
I don't live here
who's gonna live here?

tell my baby I'm gettin' home now
tell my baby I'm gettin' home
she doesn't need me
I don't need me
who's gonna need me?

(voice of Woody Guthrie: I been robbed for cash and I been robbed on credit; 
woke up a lot of mornings, didn't even know where I was at. The hardest
work I ever done is when I was trying to get myself a worried woman to ease
my worried mind.)

All the things they said would happen to you
don't ya know they're all comin true
goin nowhere fast.

nothing's strange as when it seems
you're living out all your worst possible dreams
goin nowhere fast

bad times, worse times, 
all the times in between
I tangle in the shadow, stumble in the trees
goin nowhere fast

I learn my lesson 
and I learn it again
I heard what they said, "live fast and die stupid"
goin nowhere fast
my compass is spinnin 
like a gamblin wheel
it takes a hideous misfortune for to tell how I feel
goin nowhere fast

I threw it all away 
like shoes into the street
these terrible things will tear me in three
goin nowhere fast

I don't care what time will tell
just tell me if I might as well be halfway to hell
goin nowhere fast

I'm sick through my skin
with silence and doom
I break my back, I cry on the moon
goin nowhere fast
going nowhere fast

go where you want to 
do the things you feel
walk around with a broken leg
and a hundred dollar bill

get yourself a pistol
get yourself a dog
stay up all night gettin drunk
sleepin in a log

walk 'til you're restless
sleep 'til you're tired
wake up without thinking
you're the one that I desired

you're just the girl of my dreams but it seems
my dreams never come true
you're just the girl of my dreams but it seems
my dreams never come true

I first met you down on lover's lane
the birds were insane
flapping all about
softly you would sing
swinging in your swing
it wasn't night it wasn't day

you're just the girl of my dreams but it seems
my dreams never come true
you're just the girl of my dreams but it seems
my dreams never come true
you're just the girl of my dreams but it seems
my dreams never come true

(this is song two on the album
this is the album right here
burn the album)

Tonight the city is turned off
Look at me, I'm wearing your shirt and it's burnt
Dissentious morons are dissing you, dissing me
Keeping the friendship in massive supply

That's why
I got no mind
I got no mind
I got no mind

Give the finger to the folk singer
I'm sure he'll appreciate it deeply
And where there's smoke 
and there's grease and an unperfect peace
The free 'n' easy letdown will make it all come alive

That's why
I got no mind
I got no mind
I got no mind
That's why
I got no mind
I got no mind
I got no mind

Makeshift scene, mildly insulting
You really said it when you said I was just a scavenger
There's a headbangin' corpse, just take it to the source
Take the plug, unplugged, plug it up, rip the plug right outta the wall

That's why
I got no mind
I got no mind
I got no mind
I got no mind
I got no mind
I got no mind

Pump up the volume
Pump up the volume
Pump up the volume
Pump up the volume

Tonight the city is full of....radios
and all the distortion pedals are melted
there's Sonic Youth posters nailed up onto the...ceiling
and the roof is falling down on my brain
that's why
I got no mind
I got no mind
got no mind

somebody burned down the picnic
and somebody kissed their own ass by mistake
and the cliches are gettin eaten up
by the termites with the malt liquor
and the guitar tuners and the Pussy Galore song
that's why
I play all night
I got no mind
feel so fine


and the big radio sound is pumping up and down
jumpin thru the hoops
making every motion seem like forever
there's air conditioning and brand new nails
and phone calls from people in Chicago
...why
pay no mind
got no mind
stay outside

so turn up the levels 
and talk to your devils
and bust out your tennis shoes and your mayonnaise
it's all the situations and all the celebrations
and all the contaminations that make you 
breed off the carpet
that's why
I pay no mind
(cough) got no mind
might need a cough drop

well there's verses and sounds
falling like pounds and pounds of
sand weights from the heavens
and she dangles like a bottle
talkin thru the steering wheels
and broken pantyhose
that's why
I pay no mind
sleep in slime
put out CDs

the amplifiers are amplifying
the things that you never knew
could ever be the same as you
there's wires and plugs
and slugs slithering out into the paint thinner
that's why
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
got no mind

your swivel chairs and sunglasses
and your fully-blown out scenes of ecstasy
turn up the volume and the treble 
and call them all the nasty things that you can
stick into your paper 
with your pen
shove your pen up into the air
write everything and
like you just don't care
but it feels good
when you pull off the scenery
and there's puppets and dollar bills
and there's weight-loss pills
and there's cherries and there's potato chips
and the time is runnin low
and there's nowhere else to go
so let's go down
666 up into 
I'm raising all my lows 
and I'm lowering all my disappointments 

[Beck on the phone:

Hello, how ya doin? Is this Pizza?
yeah, I'd like to order a pizza.
hello. Hi. Pizza Time....
can I have pizza?
I'd like to have a large pizza
do you deliver?
(voice speeded up):
Hello, is this Pizza Time?
do you deliver?
do you deliver? 
I'd like to order a large pizza, please.
(voice back to normal)
Hello, can I have a pizza?]

Dump my heart in a vat of lard
it's gettin all crispy and it's gettin all hard
deep-fried love
c'mon, give me the grease
shove that hamburger down your throat
pass the catsup again 
I won't
I won't.

Life is short, can I have it to go?
If it's not in the tv guide then I don't know
buy buy buy a lotta junk
fill up the time
shove that chicken wing down your throat
pass that bucket again 
I won't
I said I won't

shove that hamburger down your throat
pass the catsup again 
I won't
I won't.
