Big Pain
Burnin' Down
Giving Me
A Cow which you
Seem to be sayin as you're
Patiently waiting like an
Ashtray
For the butt
Well I'm puttin it down
Well you're not picking it up
Well I'm puttin it down but you
Treat me like a clown and I don't
Wanna be funny
Fat chance
Glued to the wall like a centerfold
Of an old cannonball
Will you put me inside
Your TV tonite cause you're treatin' me
Like a rerun
**Chorus
So what
I just lost my job at the hut.
My ass got cut.
But I'll be better at kissin'
When my teeth are all missin'
And the silverware's burnt
And I'm eatin' with my fingers
**Chorus
Big Pain
Burnin' Down
Giving Me
A Cow which you
Seem to be sayin as you're
Patiently waiting like an
Ashtray
For the butt
Well I'm puttin it down
Well you're not picking it up
Well I'm puttin it down but you
Treat me like a clown and I don't
Wanna be funny
Fat chance
Glued to the wall like a centerfold
Of an old cannonball
Will you put me inside
Your TV tonite cause you're treatin' me
Like a rerun
**Chorus
So what
I just lost my job at the hut.
My ass got cut.
But I'll be better at kissin'
When my teeth are all missin'
And the silverware's burnt
And I'm eatin' with my fingers
**Chorus
