Wayne wrote “Love Yer Brain” after a drug-addict friend of his came to visit him at Long John Silver’s, but Wayne was too busy working to get a chance to speak with him before he gave up and left the restaurant. Wayne found out the next day that the man had committed suicide.
Wayne’s quote from Sta...
[Verse 1]
Sometimes I don't know what to think about the world
When this guy is burning' up in the street with gasoline
And the flames show no mercy
So when you really need someone to talk to you
It doesn't always work like it's supposed to
[Verse 2]
You can love yer brain
Even if it slips down the drain
Man, I'm not no drug addict
But a person's gotta have something
To keep him from going insane
[Verse 3]
Well, this man kills this other man
Who's killed this other man, so it's okay
And this fourteen year old's sitting in the electric chair
Smiling' and Smoking a cigarette
So I guess I was right all along reading' my magazine
So when you really need someone to talk to you
It doesn't always work like it's supposed to
[Verse 2]
You can love yer brain
Even if it slips down the drain
Man, I'm not no drug addict
But a person's gotta have something
To keep him from going insane
