Send "Loser" Ringtone to Cell

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey
Butane in my veins so I'm out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
Kill the headlights and put it in neutral
Stock car flamin' with a loser and the cruise control
Baby's in Reno with the vitamin D

Got a couple of couches sleep on the love seat
Someone keeps sayin' I'm insane to complain
About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt
Don't believe everything that you read
You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve
So shave your face with some mace in the dark
Savin' all your food stamps and burnin' down the trailer park

(Yo cut it)
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me?

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?

Forces of evil in a bozo nightmare
Banned all the music with a phony gas chamber
Cause one's got a weasel and the other's got a flag
One's got on the pole shove the other in a bag
With the rerun shows and the cocaine nose job

The daytime crap with the folksinger slop
He hung himself with a guitar string
Slap the turkey neck and it's hangin' on a pigeon wing
You can't write if you can't relate
Trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate
And my time is a piece of wax fallin' on a termite
Who's chokin' on the splinters

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me?
(Get crazy with the Cheeze Whiz)

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me?
(Drive-by body pierce)

(Yo bring it on down)
Soy
(I'm a driver I'm a winner things are gonna change I can feel it)

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me?
(I can't believe you)

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me?

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me?
Sprechen Sie Deutche, baby)

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me?
(Know what I'm sayin'?)

    General Comment:This a deeply spiritual missive about aliens, scientific involvement and the state of government. Ok, maybe not- I'm just amazed at the drivel some folks attribute to lyrics. It's a nonsense song- not meant to mean anything.

    General Comment:Umm.. this' a long shot (real long shot lol) I wonder if this song's in reference to Elliott Smith?? namely the part about "The Daytime crap with the folksinger slop..he hung himself with a guitar string."

    No disrespect towards him of course. But Smith I guess was always making mention of killing himself. That's why they dubbed him Mr. Misery.. like I said, a long shot lol

    General Comment:''Soy un perdedor'' means ''I'm a loser''.

    Most of the lyrics are improvised, I think. I believe Beck said in a interview that he says he's a loser because he thinks he's a bad rapper. Ironic, isn't it?

    General Comment:I think he's talking to the different drugs he's on -- crack, heroin, coke, or other. It's a collection random thoughts when he was down and on these drugs.

    My Opinion:this song is great. I can really relate to feeling like a termite choking on splinters as I am a loser and always was and didnt realize that I always will be. Till that splinter is no longer just chokin. Yo get it. however I figure Soy un per... is spanish but I dont know what it stands for. Can anyone answer me on that. Mahalo in advance if I read an answer Aloha from Maui HI

    General Comment:Say what you will about the lackluster rap attempt, but this line alone "I'm a loser baby / so why don't you kill me?" I can't help but smile when I hear it.

    General Comment:This is a great song and it is without coherent logic or grammar, however, everyone saying that Beck is always like this needs to take a long look at "Sea Change" - the lyrics are crystal clear and devestating.
