[Verse 1]

Big paint burning now

Giving me a cow

What you seem to be saying

Is you're patiently waiting

Like an ashtray for the butt


[Chorus]

Well I'm putting it down

When you're not picking it up

When I'm putting it down

But you treat me like a clown

And I don't want to be funny


[Verse 2]

Fat chance glued to the wall

Like a centerfold

Of an old cannonball

Will you put me inside

Your TV tonight

Cause you're treating me like a rerun


[Chorus]

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


[Verse 3]

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


[Outro]

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
