Now listen up you know ya come home
from working that nine to five and lay
yourself down on burgundy couch, you
know, it never really was burgundy.
It was red, and you painted with the
goddamn sprinkler and now you have bits
and pieces of burgundy stuck to your butt
every time you get off of it.
You never tell your family, you never tell
your family because, you know, ol' Junior,
he's got no brains, and what can you do?
What can you do?
(And old Junior, you know, got a little
crazy with that P.B.J. that one day...??)
Grab yourself a can of pork soda
You'll be feeling just fine
Ain't nothin' quite like sittin' 'round the
house
Swillin' down them Cans of swine
Ha ha ha! Yes, Dad's an idiot alright!
Well, alright, I'm really starting to worry
about you.
You had to have that two-car garage with
the large driveway so you could park that
goddamn boat in it.
If it wasn't for the boat (blah blah blah)
I like Kansas wine...
Well, maybe it's something simpler, like
your team lost or your girlfriend used to be
a guy, you know, I don't know.
I mean.. (blah blah blah)

He says in an interview (http://www.ram.org/music/primus/articles/rs_9_93.html) that it's about how people are obssessed with diet and how pork soda is full of cholestoral and calories - very unhealthy. From the lyrics of the album's other songs and this one's you could say that it's about how life is unhealthy (drugs, lifestyle, bullying + morality, exploiting identity, crime, minor unpleasantries, death/suicide etc.) but is fun for it! Things are only good because you have bad things to contrast them to.
Beer's full of cholesterol and stuff too, but it's fun! Whilst a very dangerous drug, it's fine in moderation (unlike most other drugs), so I guess maybe the metaphor is, like dieting - don't worry about things in life too much, just do things in moderation - you can have fun without risking death (or becoming fat)!
Well, I met Les about 4 years ago, at Club Infinity in Buffalo. I went up to talk to him(My dad also wanted a picture with him) about his basses(cause I'm in a Primus cover band sorta thing) and I also asked him what this song was about cause I couldn't understand half of it. He said that this song was about just random things some people have to deal with in their life and about how people drink to solve it. Pork Soda refers to what he said that they called it where he grew up, which I forgo the name of.
I think this song is about a "typical" white trash.
Nope, deffinetly about chromaticabveration you dumbass
Wow! i'm just amazed someone managed to figure out what all that rambling was, i've listened many times and tried to figure it out...
..but fail everytime.
pretty funny that such a chaotic sounding, non-sensical song became the title track for an album though
This is about a drinkin man and his son.
whats a burgundy?
burgundy is a color, redish purple to be exact
It's also a wine, and a region of france (where the wine originates)
