The Shame of Life Lyrics
and the money
and the shame of life
My shallow mind's
just a sign
of your game of life
and there were girls back
And there was girls pettin' squirrls
and there was squirrls smokin crack,
With an old navy seal and the DEA
and the loaded automatic just to blow me all away
With the dog drinkin' liquor from the hole in the sky
and the picture of the picture that pitches at a guy
he had a problem with his sister and the 3D cops
and a brother with a shovel just to shake it all up.
and the money
and the shame of life
where the falls and the naval make the people wanna eat
just a sign
of your game of life
Get down to the level with the rest with the people on the street
put the metal to the test.
and I was hidin' in the bushes but I couldent stand the light
and he was highly indsputible the leader of the gang
like a bullet in the freezer... bang, bang..
I was shakin in the air I was shakin on the ground
I was taken by the shaker who was preachin' to the crew
he was shakin' lotsa bacon cookin' egg in his shoe
noticed we were just a vision in a dream about a shoe
I was walkin through the store to find a needle for a soul
they had lost a little reason through a little tiny hole.
Wow it's really good that we can understand what the hell Gibby is saying on the later butthole surfers tracks.
I think this song is about how everything breaks down into chaos sooner or later. And we should all be cool about it because there isn't a damn thing we can do about it.
There's a lot of people out there that take life way too seriously, and I think this song is about just getting down with the fun stuff once in a while, like girls and drugs, and not worrying about being a shallow asshole sometimes.
The beat just rocks and the lyrics just let your mind wander around and makes you realize that you're not the only one thinking about strange and bizarre things.
It's like slipping deeper into a dream without worrying about being alone.
Yes dontpanic42, this song is exactly that. It is how everything breaks into choas sooner or later.
I think this is partly about Gibby's heroin addiction. Short anecdote, Gibby Haynes was in the same rehab centre as Kurt Cobain, where they discussed escape plans. The next day Cobain actually escaped and killed himself soon afterwards.
i love the girls and the money and the shame of life
my shallow mind is just a sign of your game of life
there were girls in the front and there were girls in the back and there were girls pettin' squirrels and there were squirrels smokin' crack with an old navy seal and the dea and the loaded automatic just to blow me all away
with a dog drinkin' liquor from a hole in the sky and the picture of a pitcher throwin' pitches at a guy he had a problem with your sister and her 3D cups and a brother with a shovel just to shake it all up
i love the girls and the money and the shame of life
hop down to the people on the street where the fuzz in the navel make the people wanna eat
my shallow mind is just a sign of your game of life
get down to the level of the rest where the people on the street put the metal to the test
locomotive in the bridge will land a knuckle in a fight and i was hidin' in the bushes but i couldn't stand the light and he was highly indisputable the leader of the gang like a bullet in the freezer bang, bang
i love the girls and the money and the shame of life
hop down to the people on the street where the fuzz in the navel make the people wanna eat
my shallow mind is just a sign of your game of life
get down to the level of the rest where the people on the street put the metal to the test
get down, get down
get-- get-- dow-- dow-- dow-- down
invisibility is a relative thing
I was all shaken up after i got shaken down i was shakin' in the air and i was shakin' on the ground i was taken by the shaker who was preachin' to the crew he was shakin' lotsa bacon cook an egg in his shoe
and believing all the stereos begin to sing a tune yo cuz we were just a vision in a dream about a shoe that was walkin' to the store to find a needle for a soul that had lost a little reason through a little tiny hole
i love the girls and the money and the shame of life
hop down to the people on the street where the fuzz in the navel make the people wanna eat
my shallow mind is just a sign of your game of life
get down to the level of the rest where the people on the street put the metal to the test
i love the girls and the money and the shame of life
hop down to the people on the street where the fuzz in the navel make the people wanna eat
my shallow mind is just a sign of your game of life
get down to the level of the rest where the people on the street put the metal to the test
I really don't understand any of their songs, but I enjoy their music so...oh well!
Gibby was never into heroin. He did (and presumably still does) enough LSD on a daily basis to make the Merry Pranksters look like choirboys.
There were girls pettin' squirrels and there were squirrels smokin' crack XD
Anyone know what the French (I assume it's French) at the end says?
Gibby didn't do heroin. You're fucking full of shit.
@ beavis
although he is clean off it now, by his own admission gibby was very much into heroin and was in rehab with cobain...look it up
