This is song two on the album This is the album right here Burn the album 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
