Beck - Hard to Compete lyrics

You said go

You said stay

Got so confused

I tried to do both

So I broke out in a sweat

Cashed my check

And I spent it to death

'Cause its hard to compete

It's hard to eat

When you're beating your fist on the ground

And it's rude

Did you ever even think about the impression

you gave to the pigs

To the kids

With the hazardous waste in their wine

And their eyes

Their gasoline hairstyles

Workin' their magic for you

You said go

You said stay

You said try a combination

Didn't know where to start

I was lost

I was beige

I was over and under my age

Like a video

Like a chick

Like a dead man moving to quick

In my way

Had no plan

Dealin' out papers into the wastecan

Tryin' hard to stay awake

And the rest of the best was a big mistake

So let's drive

Right into the ground

Hold it down with the garbageman-clown

'Cause it's a deal

It's a noose

It's news

It's pennies
