Lyrics for Soul Suckin' Jerk - Reject

I'm standing right here with a beer in my hand And my mouth is full of sand and I don't understand Big fat fingers pointing into my face Telling me to get busy cleaning up this place Fourteen days, I been sleeping in a barn Better get a paycheck tattooed on my arm Whistling Dixie with the Dixie cup filled With the barbecue sauce and the dental floss chilled I got bent like a wet cigarette And she's coming after me with a butterfly net Riding on a bloodhound, ringing a bell Black cat wrapped and I'm rolling up a hill Pencil in my leg and I'm trying not to beg Taking turns breaking words with the bacon and eggs Now they got me in a birdcage flapping my jaw Like a pretzel in the stars just waiting to fall So give me what I got to get so I can go 'Cause I ain't washing dishes in a ditch no more 'Cause I ain't gonna work for no soul-suckin jerk I'm gonna take it all back and I ain't sayin' jack 'Cause I ain't gonna work for no soul-suckin jerk I'm gonna take it all back and I ain't sayin' jack You know it! That's right Rockin' the town like a moldy crouton Flying through the air with grease I got a job making money for the man Throwing chicken in a bucket with a soda pop can Puke-green uniform on my back I had to set it on fire in a vat of chicken fat I leaped on the counter like a bird with no hair Running through the minimall in my underwear I got lost downtown, couldn't find a ride home The sun went down, I got frozen to the bone 'Til a hooker let me share her fake fur coat As I took a little nap, the cops picked up this fool I tried to explain I was only trying to get warm I knew I never ever should have burned my uniform He said, "Too bad, better bite the bullet hard, son." I didn't have no teeth, so I stole his gun And I crawled out the window with my shadow and a spoon Dancing on the roof, shooting holes in the moon Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
