Faith No More - Cuckoo For Caca Lyrics






It's cold and it's
Smooth and it's
A hard shade of white
And everybody needs to lick the surface clean
But it never tastes better

White blooms to white and freezes white again
Close it before something crawls in
Commit it, leave it, get away - we always
Drop our good side

Being good gets you stuff
Being stuff gets you good
Good stuf gets you being
And wheelin' and dealin' and squealin'
Shit lives forever

They have no legs, but chase us anyway
Wipe the shadow of your best friend
Gave birth to something we don't want to be
We drop our good side

You can't kill it

Eat is just as deep as you can fuck it
So cough it up or go down
And there's only one thing that separates
A man...

Shit lives forever

We'll retire with a turd on our lips
Under a pair of knowing eyes
I'm gonna take a few down with me
And drop my good side

You can't kill it

Take it from our drummer, "Puff"
Being good it gets you stuff

Faith No More Cuckoo For Caca Comments
  1. D.... L....

    This is my favourite FNM album. Not a bad track on here imo

  2. E.... c....

    Almost as heavy as nickleback

  3. e.... ....

    So fucking creative. This record is my favorite action movie ever.

  4. L.... L....

    This song is the long lost brother of "Pills For Breakfast"

  5. D.... B....

    Nutrients fertilize forever!

  6. L.... D....

    Patton’s screams on this sound genuinely disturbing - which shows how versatile he is as a vocalist.

  7. R.... M....

    It's cold and it's
    Smooth and it's
    A hard shade of white
    And everybody needs to lick the surface clean
    But it never tastes better

    White blooms to white and freezes white again
    Close it before something crawls in
    Commit it, leave it, get away - we always
    Drop our good side

    Being good gets you stuff
    Being stuff gets you good
    Good stuf gets you being
    And wheelin' and dealin' and squealin'
    Shit lives forever

    They have no legs, but chase us anyway
    Wipe the shadow of your best friend
    Gave birth to something we don't want to be
    We drop our good side

    You can't kill it

    Eat is just as deep as you can fuck it
    So cough it up or go down
    And there's only one thing that separates
    A man...

    Shit lives forever

    We'll retire with a turd on our lips
    Under a pair of knowing eyes
    I'm gonna take a few down with me
    And drop my good side

    You can't kill it

    Take it from our drummer, "Puff"
    Being good it gets you stuff

  8. L.... i....

    "HUH......ACE!"

  40. B.... V....

    I really dig Trey Spruance's work on this album, especially this song. Any other guitar players similar to his style? Who are his influences? This riff makes me want to dig ditches and change the oil in my car.

    B.... V....

    " his riff makes me want to dig ditches and change the oil in my car " kkkkkk

    B.... V....

    Billy Gould also played a lot of guitar on this album

  41. T.... U....

    Shit lives forever?

    T.... U....

    Tommy Udo great chorus.

    T.... U....

    Tommy Udo it does indeed 😉

    T.... U....

    Actually, it does eventually decay/break-down

  42. K.... I....

    the end of song is unexpected <3

  43. F.... S....

    soy fer y quisiera hablar con dios necesito de msu ayuda

  44. Z.... N....

    Thank You!!! ; )

  45. A.... A....

    His voice is like Zombies' scream!

    A.... A....

    He recorded the zombie voices on left 4 dead

  46. A.... ....

    who wants my cock

  47. m.... *....

    porca troia puttana , grande mike

  48. K.... ....

  49. d.... 9....

    Good old Mr. Bungle. Oh, wait...

  50. H.... P....

    A message to all the kids starting up a band; This is how you fucking do it. X

  51. M.... ....

    a great song

  52. M.... P....

    Poor Puff 😔

  53. B.... M....

    reminds me of corey taylor in some parts

    B.... M....

    Corey Taylor reminds you of him.

    B.... M....

    https://youtu.be/F8AibgMFXCc
    Check the min 0:50

  54. T.... E....

    I like the part when Patton goes "GALAHHHHHHHHHh Boom HLAHAHYAAAAAAAAAA"

    T.... E....

    It truly shows what the man is capable of. Christ he sounds good.

    T.... E....

    It's a favourite moment of mine too!!

    T.... E....

    Which one?

  55. D.... R....

    I love this song♥

    D.... R....

    No mala tu wea

  56. R.... K....

    Tool said "shit ends up at the Bottom."

  57. C.... m....

    shit lives forever cause shit lives forever

  58. A.... A....

    This brings back da memories! Summer 95 was da bomb! All da girls hated da song...


    And I was mentaly abused by my spiritual father of the Lord of Dominaton. THOU SHALL FOLLOW MY ORDERS- MOLOG BAR


    I sacrificed a lamb for the mercy of Bolog Mar! He shall rule this sinful pityful fragile mortalious earth!

  59. K.... ....

    This reminds me of Twisted Metal for some reason

  60. R.... G....

    "I'm gonna take a few down with me and drop my good side"

  61. A.... A....

    Being good gets you stuff!

  62. K.... S....

    MASTERPIECE

  63. S.... ....

    Best song ever

  64. S.... B....

    I'm listening to this naked

    S.... B....

    ... In front of the computer

    S.... B....

    I'M SENDING IT BACK TO YOU!

    S.... B....

    ...in front of the computer.

  65. M.... C....

    One of my favorites by FNM! Fantastic!

  66. J.... C....

    Perfecto!

  67. B.... C....

    MASTERPIECE

  68. P.... D....

    oloko bicho

  69. P.... R....

    this song is about Mike Patton's addiction to Scat... per Roddy Bottoms... who is a S&M homosexual

  70. S.... S....

    And we'll die with a turd on our lips. Under a pair of knowing eyes. I'm gonna take a few down with me and drop my good side. Pure fucking genius.

  71. S.... S....

    Shit lives forever!

  72. T.... R....

    this album is way ahead of it's time... much like Angel Dust.

    T.... R....

    @M Lee I don't think much people are aware of that.

    T.... R....

    @M Lee this album doesn't have heavy middle eastern theory

    T.... R....

    Ethan Peterson where did I imply that it did? In fact what has what you said got anything to do with my point? SOAD don’t have heavy Middle Eastern theory in all of their music anyway. I have been playing guitar and piano for more than ten years.

    T.... R....

    @M Lee wow, you've never listened through a whole soad album, and don't lie and say you have

  73. T.... R....

    they have no legs, but chase us anyway
    wipe the shadow of your best friend
    gave birth to something we don't want to be
    we drop our good side - fabulous!

  74. J.... B....

    BEST SONG!

  75. T.... S....

    separates a mannnnnnnnn

  76. D.... M....

    Shit lives forever,shit lives forever...fucking brilliant track.

  77. m.... w....

    Is this about addiction?

    m.... w....

    it's about shit.

    m.... w....

    Cocaine/crack...a hard shade of white!!

    m.... w....

    it's about we as human race are worst then shit

  78. T.... C....

    Take it from our drummer Puff; being good gets you STUFF!

    T.... C....

    +Bryn BORDELON Being STUFF gets you GOOD! Good stuff gets you wheelin' and deelin' and thrillin' and KILLIN'!

  79. S.... M....

    kinda reminds me of GWAR...

    S.... M....

    +Saad MAFiA
    haha indeed!!!
    my previous video was Saddam A Go-Go

  80. m.... r....

    Me encanta la locura que usa Patton en este tema, UN GENIO

  81. N.... ....

    and people call me crazy while im enjoying a genius at work..

    N.... ....

    Agreed, people just don't know good music though.

    N.... ....

    most people suck and listen to horse shit and thats an insult to horses!

    N.... ....

    GeniusES

  82. r.... ....

    i find this song very theraputic...i can scream my fucking bollocks off to it

  83. E.... M....

    Can anyone recommend some Faith No More songs like this? I just love it when Mike Patton gets batshit crazy!

    E.... M....

    Second on the "Angel Dust" suggestion though to narrow it down to Caffeine, Malpractice & Jizzlobber...

    E.... M....

    Disco Volante is Patton at his best

    E.... M....

    @duhmez 1991

    E.... M....

    Lookaway (sepultura 's album Roots)

    E.... M....

    God Hates a Coward by Tomahawk. Enjoy.

  84. O.... F....

  85. E.... R....

  86. S.... G....

    Eat!!! It's just as deep as you can fuck it !!! ----

    S.... G....

    +Saturno Guildestern So cough it up or go down.

  87. e.... w....

    It's cold

  88. D.... ....

    realin and wheelin  dealin and squealin.......

  89. O.... F....

    you guys realize this song is about meth right ?

    O.... F....

    i didnt say u couldnt like it did i ? 

    O.... F....

    +Oscar Fuerte "caca" is shit.

    O.... F....

    +MacHazzer since when do you have to be warned when meth is mentioned... not like its actual meth

    O.... F....

    +TheEschwank02 meth is purified shit

    O.... F....

    +Oscar Fuerte I don't kow too much about meth, but he sayd everybody needs to lick the surface clean, do meth users lick up the bits of meth? Don't they just put the meth in pipe and smoke it? I know people will lick coke........

  90. f.... c....

    THIS IS A KICK ASS SONG!!! mike patton vocals are so awesome here !!!

    f.... c....

    01:15 And ten years later he did the sound effects for the zombies in "Left 4 Dead" and "I am Legend"

    f.... c....

    Shades of Mr Bungle...Patton morphing to Psycho Clown. Nice

    f.... c....

    Few people realize how hard it is to sing this. Real tour de force.

  91. T.... J....

  92. J.... Y....

    SHIT LIVES FOREVER

  93. L.... A....

    YOU CAN'T KILL IT!!!!!

  94. N.... ....

    Ahh, good ol' Faith No More – New Album in May! I'm fuckin excited! Of all those 90s band reunions in the last five years or so – like "Seattle-alumni" Soundgarden and Alice in Chains (Fortunately Pearl Jam was never really gone in the first place!) – Faith No More was the one I felt the most euphoric about!

  95. w.... ....

    That boy just ain't right. Pretty awesome

  96. N.... E....

    Rock sucks. Convert to gangsta rap, y`all.

    N.... E....

    @***** Weird that he picked to say that on a Faith No More vid. They're a rather underground band compared to their contemporaries.

    N.... E....

    Mike Patton raps

    N.... E....

    Funny joke

    N.... E....

    Nephew Eplus ur vids sucks, convert to good content

  97. r.... ....

    I can only agree.

  98. R.... S....

    great song
