“Song two on the album”, Beck’s legendary Mellow Gold and one of his oldest songs. It was originally written when he was around 18, 19. Allegedly, at one point, it had ten verses but was edited down to the this final ode about Beck’s disillusionment with the music industry.
[Intro]
(This is song two on the album
This is the album right here
Put on the album)
[Verse 1]
Tonight the city is full of morgues
And all the toilets are overflowing
There's shopping malls coming out of the walls
As we walk out among the manure
[Chorus]
That's why
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
[Verse 2]
Give the finger to the rock n roll singer
As he's dancing upon your pay check
The sales climb high through the garbage pail sky
Like a giant dildo crushing the sun
[Chorus]
That's why
I pay no mind
Sleep in slime
I just got signed
[Verse 3]
So get out your lead pipe pipe dreams
Get out your ten-foot flags
The insects are huge
And the poison's all been used
And the drugs won't kill your day job
Honey
[Chorus]
That's why
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
That's why
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
