Poetry And Prose Songtext
von Primus

I ain′t one for poetry, ain't one for prose. Ain′t one for the scent of a spring-time rose.
But the is one face that I do know, I sure get a kick out of that Beavis and Butt-head show.

Other day I turn my TV on, and guess what I do see?
Two crazy-ass cartoon sunsabitches staring on back at me.
Said "What the hell's this", and Ler said "; Boy, don't you know?"
The whole world′s gone crazy over that there Beavis and Butt-head show.

Talk about couch fishing, now I could go for that.
I could go for frog baseball, but I be inclined to use a cat!
On comedy, I′m a stooges man. I like Larry, Curly and Moe.
But now and then a get a chuckle watchin' the Beavis and Butt-head show.

Stone-Temple Pearlvana Chain, now there′s a helluva band.
They got that original sound that's sweepin′ 'cross the land.
Ain′t no ZZ Top though, now that's the band for me.
If I had my way MTV'd play just them and AC/DC.


I ain′t nothing special, I′m your average kinda man.
I like a frosted barley pop and I drink 'em outta the can!
I don′t give a rat's ass about poetry and not a damn ′bout prose.
I sure get a kick outta them Beavis and Butt-head shows.

Butthead: "Hey Beavis..."
Beavis: "What?"
Butthead: "I was just like... thinking and stuff... it was pretty cool."
Beavis: "Yeah, I'm gonna try that."
Butthead: "TV is cool..."
Beavis: "Yeah, yeah, TV rules... it rules! Yeah..."
Butthead: "Hey Beavis... I heard that pretty soon, they′re gonna have, like, 500 channels. That's gonna be cool."
Beavis: "Really? That would be cool."
Butthead: "You know what would be really cool, though? If like, one of the channels didn't suck."
Beavis: "Yeah, but, like, if one of them didn′t suck, why would you need the other... um... three hundred and twenty-seven?"
Butthead: "Because, you know all those TV shows that suck? It′s like, you gotta put them somewhere! You can't put ′em on the cool channel!"
Beavis: "Yeah, yeah! They should call it the cool channel!"
