Yet another of “Weird Al” Yankovic’s style parodies, the sixth song from the 2014 album “Mandatory Fun” directly skewers the style of Foo Fighters.
This song is written from the perspective of someone who’s seen many things that they wish they could “unsee”, some more nonsensical than others.
[Intro]
I saw a baby drive a truck
I saw a junkie eat a tuba
I saw a stripper kiss a duck
Behind a dumpster in Aruba
[Verse 1]
I saw this fat, psychotic guy
His underwear was made of crickets
He pawned a skeleton to buy
Some old expired lotto tickets
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I saw a naked vagrant
Giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to his cat
I probably could have gone my whole life
Without seeing that
[Chorus]
With my own eyes
I see things that'd drive a normal man insane
Wish I could disconnect my brain
From my own eyes
[Verse 2]
I saw a mime get hacked to death
With an imaginary cleaver
I saw an old man's final breath
I watched him die from Bieber Fever
I saw these diabetic chicks
In an abandoned 7-Eleven
I watched them snorting Pixy Stix
While they were belching "Stairway To Heaven"
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I saw two drag queens trying to see how many crackers
They could shove up each other's nose
I'd like to erase my mind completely but I suppose
That's just the way it goes
[Chorus 2]
With my own eyes
I see things that'd drive a normal man insane
Wish I could disconnect my brain
From my own eyes (my own eyes)
Those visions haunt my memory
Oh, there's so much I wish I could unsee
With my own eyes
[Verse 3]
Some priest got drunk and stole a circus zebra
And he trained it to massage his back
My guinea pig committed harakiri
So we used him to play hacky-sack
My neighbor's kids sold weapons-grade plutonium
And frosty ice-cold lemonade
They took MasterCard and sometimes human organs in trade That's how we paid
I have to say that it was really darn good lemonade
[Chorus 2]
With my own eyes
I've seen things that'd drive a normal man insane
Wish I could disconnect my brain
From my own eyes (my own eyes)
Those visions haunt my memory
Oh, there's so much I wish I could unsee
[Outro]
With my own eyes
With my own eyes
With my own eyes
With my own eyes
