Garbage Truck Lyrics
(Woo oh oh oh)
I'll take you for a ride
On my garbage truck
Oh no!
I'll take you to the dump
'Cause you're my queen
Take you uptown
I'll show you the sights
You know you want to ride
On my garbage truck
Truck truck truck
We'll pass our engines by
Drive right through the needle's eye
My garbage truck
Oh my my my my
I got a stereo
You just got to turn the knob
And baby we'll go
As far as we can
I'll be your garbage man
And I'll take out your junk
And I'll crush it down
Jesus in the rearview
And the highway patrol is up ahead
In my garbage truck truck
I'll never throw you away
When you're old and grey
Just roll it away
I'll take you for a ride
On my garbage truck
Oh no!
I'll take you to the dump
'Cause you're my queen
I'll show you the sights
You know you want to ride
On my garbage truck
Truck truck truck
Drive right through the needle's eye
My garbage truck
Oh my my my my
You just got to turn the knob
And baby we'll go
As far as we can
I'll be your garbage man
And I'll crush it down
Jesus in the rearview
And the highway patrol is up ahead
In my garbage truck truck
When you're old and grey
Just roll it away

You're sure it's not "We'll pass emissions by" instead of "We'll pass our engines by?" I swear that's what it sounds like, and it still makes sense.
I think it's about a guy who doesn't have much to offer other than his love. His garbage truck isn't much, but he'll drive her around, play music, and love her forever. It's really sweet actually, and love really shouldn't be about possessions, i.e. what you can buy a person or what fancy car someone drives
The lyrics are "We'll pass the mansions by"
It's not "your my queen. it's "you're not clean"
The song was literally meant to be bad. As stated by Beck in LA Times, they made the song to be complete noise. I'm sure the song being about garbage is supposed to signify that as well. As stated, the originals of the song were even more noisier and more obnoxious than the performed version in the movie.
You don't ride "on" a garbage truck. That's what he calls his penis. It's about sex. Turn my knob and we'll go. Take out your junk. That's why Jesus is in the rearview because you're facing away from God while you're doing that
