Cracker - Ain't Gonna Suck Itself lyrics

rate me

I say baby, it ain't gonna suck itself

Virgin Records, it ain't gonna suck itself

I say baby, it ain't gonna suck itself

What 'chew waiting for? it ain't gonna suck itself

Well I flew out from Virginie on the very first day

I heard my record company exercise my pay to play

Went to see Mr. Lott but his assistant said no

"Security will escort you to the parking lot"

It was 102 degrees I was feeling kind of hot

So I walked across the street for one of those Mexican frozen popsicles

Couldn't buy just one so I bought myself a box

When I come back the assistant she's standing in the parking lot

No hard feelings do you want one of these?

But she looks at me like I was speaking Chinese

The security man walks up he helps himself to one

Coincidently Chinese and hot from standing in the sun

Then he helps himself to another he puts it in her hand

But she looks at it like it was a piece of crap

Or a dead and dying bird she didn't understand

So I was just trying to be helpful when I said...

Baby, it ain't gonna suck itself

Oh Virgin Records, it ain't gonna suck itself

I beg to differ cousin, it should be, it ain't gonna lick itself

Ok we'll try it that way It ain't gonna lick itself

Well I'm standing in the parking lot waiting on my ride

His name is Jackson Haring and he's still inside

He went in through mailroom for some record company swag

But this Virgin Records there ain't shit to be had

And the halls they was empty because everyone was laid off

And he took a wrong turn ends up in the tape vault

Only one thing to do when you’re standing face to face

With the Sticky Fingers, Let It Be master tapes

You've got to stick them in the satchel and head on the down the hall

Saying these will go nicely with that Residents eyeball

Many years ago while working for Bill Graham Presents

A prop eyeball was stolen backstage from The Residents

And the rumor went around that Jackson was the thief

But that's neither here nor there and I was sitting in the jeep

Looking at the Sticky Fingers master tapes

My popsicle’s dripping on the seat so I throw it out the window

And it lands at the feet of Roy Lott

Hey Roy, it ain't gonna suck itself

Ah Virgin Records, it ain't gonna suck itself

And one time for the ladies, It ain't gonna lick itself

Ah Virgin Records, it ain't gonna suck itself

Baby, it ain't gonna suck itself

Everyone at Virgin Records, it ain't gonna suck itself

One for the ladies, it ain't gonna lick itself

What 'chew waitin' for, it ain't gonna suck itself

Mr. Lott, it ain't gonna suck itself

Everyone on Foothill Road, it ain't gonna suck itself

Just so we're not totally sexist, it ain't gonna lick itself

Virgin Records, it ain't gonna suck itself
