“The Shah Sleeps in Lee Harvey’s Grave” is the first song on the first release by the Butthole Surfers – their infamous self-titled debut. The song was an early staple of their live shows, and remained so throughout their career.
The Anus Presley section of the song (“I am the ultimate God! God is...
"You're rolling."
There's a time to fuck and a time to crave
But the Shah sleeps in Lee Harvey's grave!
There's a time to shit and a time for God
The last shit I took was pretty fuckin' odd!
There's a time for drugs and a time to be sane
But Jimi Hendrix makes love to Marilyn's remains!
There's a time to live and a time to die
I smoke Elvis Presley's toenails when I wanna get high!
There's a time to fuck and a time to crave
But the Shah sleeps in Lee Harvey's grave!
Don't look back at me!
I see you trembling!
You look like shit!
I am the ultimate God!
God is second to me!
I am #1, motherfucker!
Don't even look back!
Don't even look upon me with your naked eyes!
SHUT UP!
SHUT UP!
Shut up!
S-... shut up
Shut up
STOP!
