Eraserheads Lyrics
“Shake Yer Head”
I was born upside down
I felt my grandma put my feet on the ground
They put a spoon in my mouth
And everyone was shocked to hear me shout
Well I knew I couldn’t take
All the dog food that they make
I’d just as soon as put myself
On a stake and burn
I saw it comin’ around
I saw it comin’ around, yeah
I saw it comin’ around so I just, yeah
Shook my head and walked away
I grew up in a town
Where everybody tried to push me around
The girls were alright but
The guys were tough
They’re always buggin’ me with macho stuff
Well, I ain’t no stupid fighter
I go for flower power
I’ve been running every race just
To save my face, yeah
I saw it comin’ around
I saw it comin’ around, yeah
I saw it comin’ around so I just, yeah
Shook my head and walked away
Well, they try to see if you care
It’s just a matter of not begging for more
You know it’s really suicidal to just give in
With people, you can never really be sure
O-hoh, when it gets down to this
They’ll eat you up
When the words get in your head
They’ll stitch you up
It’s a saving grace to have enough
When you find yourself in a compromising spot
You should know, you shouldn’t take
All that dog food that they make
You’d just as soon as put yourself
On a stake and burn
You’ll see it comin’ around
You’ll see it comin’, comin’ around
When you, oh, when you see it coming around
You just, yeah shake yer head and walk away!
Yeah alright!
Shake, shake, shake shake, shake, shake
Yes, the one you think with ohh c’mon, c’mon
