Cover art for The Shame of Life lyrics by Butthole Surfers

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.
