Beck - Puttin It Down lyrics

big pain

burnin' down

givin' me a cow

what you seem to be saying

is you're patiently waiting

like an ashtray for the butt

well I'm puttin' it down

but you're not pickin' it up

well I'm puttin' it down

but you treat me like a clown

and I don't wanna be funny

fat chance

glued to the wall

like a centerfold

of an old cannonball

will you put me inside

your tv tonight

'cause you're treatin' me like a rerun

well I'm puttin' it down

but you're not pickin' it up

well I'm puttin' it down

but you treat me like a clown

and I don't wanna be funny

no no no no

so what

I lost my job at the Hut

my ass got cut

but I'll be better at kissin'

when my teeth are all missin'

and the silverware's burnt

and I'm eatin' with my fingers

and I'm puttin' it down

and you're not pickin' it up

well I'm puttin it down

but you treat me like a clown

and I don't want to be funny

yeah yeah yeah yeah, etc.
