Pay No Mind (Snoozer) Lyrics
Tonight the city is full of morgues
And all the toilets are overflowing
There's shopping malls
Coming out of the walls
As we walk out among the manure
That's why
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
Give the finger to the rock 'n' roll singer
As he's dancing upon your paycheck
The sales climb high
Through the garbage-pail sky
Like a giant dildo crushing the sun
That's why
I pay no mind
Sleep in slime
I just got signed
So get out your lead-pipe pipe dreams
Get out your ten-foot flags
The insects are huge
And the poison's all been used
And the drugs won't kill your day job
Honey
That's why
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
That's why
I pay no mind [x7]
And all the toilets are overflowing
There's shopping malls
Coming out of the walls
As we walk out among the manure
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
As he's dancing upon your paycheck
The sales climb high
Through the garbage-pail sky
Like a giant dildo crushing the sun
I pay no mind
Sleep in slime
I just got signed
Get out your ten-foot flags
The insects are huge
And the poison's all been used
And the drugs won't kill your day job
Honey
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
I pay no mind [x7]

very weird song, i guess the verse kinda tells you what his thoughts are "pay no mind", doesn't pay much attention to what's happening, completely ignores the weirdness of it all........ it's like when you have a day, that just feels really bizarre, and you have you ask yourself did it really happen? just "pay no mind"
I think this song is pretty bluntly about consumerism and soullessness.
I think this is just a big "fuck you!" to everyone.
this could be "a big fuck you," or it could be budhist as fuck.
Word
I think it's about him finally getting a record deal..."I just got signed." And before he gets signed, he's broke and has to "sleep in slime," because he can't afford a place to sleep. I love the line "give the finger to the rock 'n' roll singer, as he's dancing upon your paycheck."
"like a giant dildo crushing the sun" classic.
Yeah, this is very much like the great Alice in Chains' Grind and Again off of Tripod.. about commercialism and the emptiness of the recording/music industry. and AHHELLYEAH I love that singer line, the dildo line, LOL, this whole song sounds like something you'd sing in a bar with a big mug of beer in your hand, swinging it around like an old drunk dude. lmao, just ignore me. HA
A big fuck to everything that sucks. Pay no mind.
Beck's best song in my opinion, one of the best of the 90's.
dont really know what this song means but i dont care, this is like one of my current favorite beck songs. i dont really find it weird its just so... i cant find the right word for it but its definately a good thing, and a good song, way to go beck
