Eliminator Jr. Lyrics

Tears cruise away, packed and then took a shit
The sky is ours, dark stains on his pants
Enough to make him blush around the bone
Take a walk in the park? Shit, yeah!

A poor boy, a rich boy
A poor rich boy coming right through me
Rich boy, poor boy
Poor rich boy coming right through me

It's about Robert Chambers - the "Preppie Killer" who murdered a girl in NYC Central Park in the 80s.

I think this is Sonic Youth's way of saying "were still punks" after the conceptual artsiness of the previous track. Great song, though.

Ndmartinxyz is right - it's about Robert Chambers, the "preppy killer." Kim even introduced the song as such one time. Harrowing and intense way to end their best album.

@scott12xu I found this song quite humorous in its existential ennui
