PUTTIN IT DOWN Sign in or register

Big pain burning now
Giving me a cow
What you seem to be saying
Is you're patiently waiting
Like an ashtray for the butt

Well I'm putting it down
But you're not picking it up
Well I'm putting it down
But you treat me like a clown
And I don't want to be funny

Fat chance
Glued to the wall like a centerfold
Of an old cannonball
Will you put me inside your TV tonight
Cos you're treating me like a rerun

Well I'm putting it down
But you're not picking it up
Well I'm putting it down
But you treat me like a clown
And I don't want to be funny
No no no no no

So what
I lost my job at the Hut
My ass got cut
But I'll be better at kissing
When my teeth are all missing
And the silverware's burnt
And I'm eating with my fingers

And I'm putting it down
And you're not picking it up
Well I'm putting it down
But you treat me like a clown
And I don't want to be funny
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Big pain burning now
Getting me so down

Yeah I'm putting it down
