Оригинален текст
(this is song two on the album
this is the album right here
burn the album)
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
that's why
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
give the finger to the rock 'n' roll singer
as he's dancing upon your paycheck
the sales climb high through the garbage-pail sky
like a giant d*ldo crushing the sun
that's why
I pay no mind
sleep in slime
I just got signed
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
that's why
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
I pay no mind
that's why
i pay no mind x7
(note: on the vinyl version of "Pay No Mind" the lead-in is simply Beck counting. And there's an extra verse which goes:
Somebody burned down the picnic
Someone kissed their own as* by mistake
The cliches are turning into people
With the greeting cards glued to their face
