PRIMUS - Poetry & Prose lyrics

rate me

I ain't one for poetry, aint' one for prose.

ain't one for the scent of a sping-time rose.

But the is one face that I do know,

I sure get a kick out of that beavis and butt-head show.

Other day I turn my tv on, and guess what I do see?

Two crazy-ass cartoon sunsabitches staring on back at me.

Said "what the hell's this",

and ler said "boy, dont' you know? "

The whole world's gone crazy over that there beavis and butt-head show.

Talk about couch fishing, now I could go for that.

I could go for frog baseball, but I be inclined to use a cat!

On comedy, I'm a stooges man. I like larry, curly and moe.

But now and then a get a chuckle watchin' the beavis and butt-head show.

Stone-temple pearlvana chain, now there's a helluva band.

They got that original sound that's sweepin' 'cross the land.

Ain't no zz top though, now that's the band for me.

If I had my way mtv'd play just them and ac/dc.

I ain't nothing special, I'm your average kinda man.

I like a frosted barley pop and I drink 'em outta the can!

I don't give a rat's ass about poetry and not a damn 'bout prose.

I sure get a kick outta them beavis and butt-head shows.

Butthead: "hey beavis..."

Beavis: "what? "

Butthead: "i was just like.

..thinking and stuff...it was pretty cool."

Beavis: "yeah, I'm gonna try that."

Butthead: "tv is cool..."

Beavis: "yeah, yeah, tv rules....it rules! yeah..."

Butthead: "hey beavis.

..i heard that pretty soon, they're gonna have, like, 500 channels.

That's gonna be cool."

Beavis: "really? that would be cool."

Butthead: "you know what would be really cool,

though? if like, one of the channels didn't suck."

Beavis: "yeah, but, like,

if one of them didn't suck, why would you need the other...um...

Three hundred and twenty-seven? "

Butthead: "because, you know all those tv shows

that suck? it's like, you gotta put them

Somewhere! you can't put 'em on the cool channel!"

Beavis: "yeah, yeah! they should call it the cool channel!"
