Primus - Golden Boy Lyrics






He was a might golden boy, as gold as ever seen
But when he stepped up to the podium, you could tell that boy was mean

His arms was made of nickel, and his forehead made of wood
An affidavit from the principal says, "This boy just ain't no good"

He stood before the union, and he made a solemn oath
Uphold the purity of his creed, the others he would toast
He worked nights at the liquor mart, and he drank to pad his pay
When caught him liftin' 40's, he shot a boy last May

His Momma asked why?

His lawyer in the courtroom, made a noble plea
And the judge he gave him eighteen months, but he was out in three
When asked if he ever felt remorse while sittin' up in that pen
He said "Hell no, ya know a thief's a thief
And I'd shoot the that fucker again"

    I like listening to this song while playing Team Fortress 2. Makes the game sound catchy.

  45. S.... ....

    One of my favorite Primus songs. :D

  46. (.... �....

    This song is basically Ler's way of saying "I am fucking awesome too."

    (.... �....

    He says that in every song. Primus is basically Les with some backing instruments, let's be real.

    (.... �....

    @IcyFlame he said ler u doof

    (.... �....

    @IcyFlame He was talking about Ler, the guitarist, not Les

  47. r.... ....

    most insane solo EVER!!!!

  48. l.... s....

  57. J.... R....

    Primus Sucks!

  58. R.... S....

    I can't believe they are playing this one live again! PRIMUS SUCKS.

  67. r.... ....

    not sayin the albums shit or owt jus sayin it could have sounded alot better

  68. J.... P....

    and id shoot that fucker again yes i would

  69. r.... ....

    brown album has some good songs, but the production is terrible it sounds like it hasn't been edited or used crap mics

    r.... ....

    rob_bassman that's why it's so magical. It's raw

    r.... ....

    It sounds like that on this video but the real album sounds great. I never had a problem with the production quality.. The overall vibe of Primus changed after Herb left. And at first I hated the other albums they released. Now I've grown to like Animals, Rhinoplasty and Brown. But not Antipop. Fuck that album.

  70. B.... H....

    man in general music is more enjoyable high, but this song is fantastic

  71. s.... ....

    Weed + Primus = Pure Unrefined Win.

  72. s.... ....

    HELL GOD DAMN YEAH IT IS!!

  73. D.... ....

    the layout and rhythem of the verses is very much like Jerry Was a Race Car Driver

  74. c.... ....

    for some reason that intro for the song reminds me of an alaram going off

  75. h.... ....

    brown album was greatly underated

  76. O.... ....

    What a great fucking jam...

  77. O.... F....
