In response to Alieno, this may not be the most intelligent song, but I don't think it's meant to be. I think it's meant to be kind of simplistic and even a little stupid. After all, they are poking a lot of fun at themselves in this song, and what better way to do it than by writing a song that's very easy to make fun of? You could spend all day wishing for intelligent lyrics, but if they had given you that, it wouldn't suck, and the whole point of the song was to suck and make a little fun of themselves. At the same time, though, they almost come off as arrogant in this song: "We're KMFDM and all other bands stink". That adds a whole new dimension of comedy to the whole thing, like they're proud of sucking or something. I respect a band that can laugh at themselves like KMFDM can, and Sucks is a hilarious song. The bottom line: without the simplicity and stupidity of the rhymes and lyrics, the song wouldn't be half as good.

Exactly, a band with as much depth and meaning as KMFDM has to balance it out with a few joking songs.
