Butthole Surfers - The Shame Of Life Lyrics






I love the girls and the money and the shame of life
My shallow mind is just a sign of your game of life
There were girls in the front
There were girls in the back
And there were girls pettin' squirrels
And there were squirrels smokin' crack
With an old Navy Seal and the DEA
And a loaded automatic just to blow me all away
With a dog drinkin' liquor from a hole in the sky
And a picture of a pitcher throwin' pitches at a guy
He had a problem with his sister and her 3D cups
And a brother with a shovel just to shake it all up

I love the girls and the money and the shame of life
Hop down they're the people on the street
Where the fuzz in the navel make the people want to eat
My shallow mind is just a sign of your game of life
Get found at the level of the rest
Where the people on the street put their mettle to the test

Locomotive individual and a knuckle in a fight
And I was hidin' in the bushes but I couldn't stand the light
And he was highly indisputable the leader of the gang
Like a bullet in the freezer - Bang Bang

I love the girls and the money and the shame of life
Hop down they're the people on the street
Where the fuzz in the navel make the people want to eat
My shallow mind is just a sign of your game of life
Get found at the level of the rest
Where the people on the street put their mettle to the test

Get down - get down get get dow dow dow down
Invisibility is a relative thing
hah hah hah ha ha ha ha ha

I was all shaken up after I got shaken down
I was shakin' in the air
And I was shakin' on the ground
I was taken by the shaker who was preachin' to the crew
He was shakin' lots of bacon cookin' egg in his shoe
And awaken all the stereos began to sing a tune
Told us we were just a vision in a dream about a shoe
That was walkin' through a store
To find a needle for a soul
That had lost a little reason
Through a little tiny hole

I love the girls and the money and the shame of life
Hop down they're the people on the street
Where the fuzz in the navel make the people want to eat
My shallow mind is just a sign of your game of life
Get found at the level of the rest
Where the people on the street put their mettle to the test
I love the girls and the money and the shame of life
Hop down they're the people on the street
Where the fuzz in the navel make the people want to eat
My shallow mind is just a sign of your game of life
Get found at the level of the rest
Where the people on the street put their mettle to the test

    If you've forgotten this video, or have never seen it (or heard the song), it's time to (re)acquaint yourself. These guys were epically hilarious in addition to being solid musicians.

  38. A.... ....

    Song is good, band is garbage, the group name is AIDS.

  39. A.... R....

    Yeah, but we all have mother's, fathers and siblings. So, cool your jets turbo. I thank god for giving me a varied gathering of friends and family. I'm grateful to have then in my life. I'd like to develop myself to the point they are glad I am there when it matters.

  40. P.... ....

    He was shakin lots of bacon, cookin egg in his shoe! 🥓🍳

  41. D.... H....

    This whole album kicks ass!!!! I always skip the last song tho. Kind of a letdown after so much sweet nectar!!!

  42. E.... U....

    wyd happened w the surfers In this ear?

  43. D.... C....

    Heck of a party! People are still talking about it yet!

    1 minute no alternative Xeltro commercial, shame, hehe

  45. p.... o....

    Anyone from the movie “phone booth”

  46. G.... H....

    the more I listen to the new version of the butthole surfers the more I get depressed..

  47. M.... S....

    Back when MTV had good music. Music in general

  48. b.... ....

    Great video

  49. R.... K....

    Butthole surfers turned into a boyband?

  50. R.... H....

    only second to pepper

  51. a.... m....

    Looks like a bad acid trip. This is like taking a walk on the wild, dark side. Women that look like squirrels. Do you feel like you were just visited by extraterrestrials?

  52. d.... ....

    This is what selling out looks/sounds like.

    d.... ....

    they're the butthole surfers, they can do whatever they want, they got nothing to prove...they're totally legends.
    C`mon, plz

    d.... ....

    Dude the album sucked

    d.... ....

    The buttholes actually hate the chorus of this song as it was Kid Rock who wrote it. He sampled one of their songs and he gave them this piece of shit that they tried to style their own way but trying to change a Kid Rock song won't stop or save you from sounding like Kid Rock...a sellout.

  53. m.... ....

    Demonic.

  54. W.... R....

    Sell out Surfers,get back to Rembant Pussyhorse

  55. B.... K....

    Love it ;-)

  56. t.... y....

    It would be nice if people didn't laugh at the title of this amazing band.

  57. I.... v....

    Is this the BS? Really? They sound like Depeche Mode-Light.

  58. L.... ....

    I'd pay to see squirrels smoking crack

    L.... ....

    Hell I'd like to be the one to sell it to them 😂😂😂

    L.... ....

    Hell i will buy it

    L.... ....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZptOs8Gu9k

    L.... ....

    I’m in line waiting as we speak..

    L.... ....

    So would I. I'd pay even more to see what happens when 500 cracked up squirrels were tuned loose in central park. Goddamn that'd be fucking legendary.

  59. k.... ....

    haha he was shakin lots of bacon cookin egg in his shoe lol

  60. d.... p....

    Richard Blade had to call them the "B" hole surfers.

  61. E.... A....

    Rickets and skis
    Turtles and knees
    I get a high from a boner and a snatch full of flees

    Midgets and speed
    Gerbils and weed
    I got a hive full of honey and a trove full of cheese.

  62. R.... S....

    The more I sink into depression the more I listen to Butthole Surfers

    R.... S....

    my depression brought me here lol

    R.... S....

    Richard Szeidermann the more I sink into the Butthole Surfers the more I listen to depression

    R.... S....

    It's a good thing Richard help you let the bullshit blow in the breeze. If your depressed like me it helps me to listen to fun stuff, life is crazy full of ups and downs, but where you are is where you are. My ego kicks my ass. Where do you want to go from here is up to you !
    Whatever your going through doesn't dictate who you are. Live Love, let go and keep it moving. Good things are coming. Have faith !

    R.... S....

    Maybe u lissene to the surfers and that brings you into a deeper depression?

    R.... S....

    @Stan The Man what the hell are you talking about ? How ? You got to be a fan or you wouldn't been here.

  63. G.... W....

    Holy shit. Watch this video at half-speed, it's so weird/cool.

  64. G.... W....

    This might be the best video on youtube.

    G.... W....

    Gerald Williams no, it is the best.

  65. d.... j....

    R.... e....

    HA-HA-HA-HAHAHAHAHA

  77. t.... ....

    I saw The Buttholes many times back in the 80's, the most memorable being The Mean Fiddler in London '84 (I think!) when someone from the audience above the stage threw a glass at Gibby and smacked him upside the head, blood flowing copiously from a cut. So the Gibber just crawls off to side stage, wraps a white towel round his head and carries on! The blood was everywhere! One of the best gigs EVER! And fortunately I was there with my Sony Pro Walkman and taped it all! I'll need to dig it out and upload it!

    t.... ....

    terrypussypower i saw them, when Gibby had his sound box thing, in the 90's I think. Fucking great shit

    t.... ....

    @Mr. SPINKS!! it's been 2 years, it took him almost 35 years to remember it exists

    t.... ....

    Please upload it to archive.org and to reach out if you need help with the transfer

    t.... ....

    Bro can u share it?

  78. t.... ....

    The track where The Butthole Surfers evolved into Alabama 3!

  79. L.... M....

    Very talented band under estimated

  80. C.... B....

    I love fat Dave Grohl's awesome music.

    C.... B....

    I prefer GIbby's work. Here's a toast to yah.

    C.... B....

    CNN Blackmail Support Nirvana was actually a big Butthole fan! No really, look up Butthole One Hit Wonderland.

    C.... B....

    Gibby haines he was so beyond his time you had to live this to get it i promise

    C.... B....

    LMAO.This made my day. Thank you for getting my out of this depressing hole I've dug myself.

    C.... B....

    Stephie hang in there. It gets better. It may get really bad some days but it all gets better, I promise.

  81. G.... A....

    Weird tidbit: Kid Rock sings (and wrote) the chorus to this song. Apparently he wanted to sample BHS' "Sweat Loaf" on a song. Producer Rob Cavallo pressured the band into producing a couple of singles for their record and this was one of them.

  82. K.... P....

    I love this song and cannot find a way to purchase it. Help, please!

    K.... P....

    look up clipconverter

    K.... P....

    onlinevideoconverter [daht] calmBut you didn't hear it from me, see.

    K.... P....

    I'm sure you can get the CD for cheap. I've had it since it came out. Just checked Amazon they got every album on there but that one.

    K.... P....

    thanks Dorkus audio extractor looks the way to go

    K.... P....

    You can buy it on Itunes. You have to search Butthole Surfers, then Albums. Go to Weird Revolution, then you can purchase the single.

  83. K.... ....

    I kinda think song is about getting high or partying because it makes you happy but its a fake type of happy. like the invisible lryic. that's my idea tho

  84. R.... A....

    wtf this isn't hip hop

  85. s.... h....

    saw them live 4 times.....long before this...good, but not like the old shit...god bless LSD

    s.... h....

    Whatabuot old school scoob 34 methylene dioxin methamphetamine or green tubos at the stark club

    s.... h....

    Like the Cramps....

  86. s.... ....

    Strange to come here straight after listening to Locust Abortion Technician...

    s.... ....

    Oh, it's rubbish.

    s.... ....

    shut up

    s.... ....

    Hahaha clowns be hatin'
    Can't get with that butthole !!!!

    s.... ....

    Guys, they’ve admitted it’s awful, this is written by kid rock to repay him or something

    s.... ....

    @word vert that's some next level boomer talk ngl

  87. n.... ....

    If you watch the video for Pepper right after this, it looks like the Butthole Surfers through some weird party in Erik Estrada's house while he was out, then he came home and called the cops.

  88. m.... j....

    I love when people call artists sell-outs. Yeah they should totally just keep writing albums that sound similar to their first! It doesn't matter what the band members, whom write and perform the songs, want or would like to experiment! It's about them owning a style of music, which this band practically innovated. Trippy ass music with a good beat and lyrics that flow, always been what BS are about. F**k off you, and your opinion on what direction a rather old band took a decade ago. Loser.

  89. P.... K....

    Every time I hear this song makes me wish I was the sniper in phone booth aiming at my rivals, love this band and song.

  90. A.... C....

    in what record its this song?

    A.... C....

    +Antonio Cadena Weird Revolution

  91. S.... P....

    for once in my life I'm proud to be from Texas.

    S.... P....

    I would be more proud to be from Texas then any other state. Sadly I am from Minnesota and ashamed.

    S.... P....

    Maria Smith at least you're not from Iowa

    S.... P....

    Always Texas proud

  92. T.... L....

    Gibby Haynes is genius

    T.... L....

    I never doubted it

  93. j.... l....

    what album? (is this from :)  )

    j.... l....

    Weird Revolution

  94. N.... K....

    Like a bullet in the freezer, bang bang.

  95. c.... ....

    Colin Farrel brought me here!

    c.... ....

    @***** Colin Farel was in the movie Phone Booth and they used this song in the tráiler. 

    c.... ....

    +Morten Andersen not all irish people are thugs u absolute fool

  96. S.... e....

    Great song....I wish I could pet some some of those girls squirrels

  97. D.... ....

    That Asian girl is a smoke show.

    D.... ....

    I KNOW RIGHT?!?!?!

    D.... ....

    +A gay Catholic Albanian who self-identifies as a transgender Hungarian albino Not gonna lie, while I agree with your comment I would have liked it regardless just because of your name.

    D.... ....

    What a curious coincidence that she should be a professional model and actress.  Majorly hot human + pro model:  really, what are the odds?  That combination hardly ever happens.

    D.... ....

    God Damn true!

    D.... ....

    That squirrel is a smoke show..
