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
