Primus - The Pressman Lyrics
By the light of the lamp I sit to type-my notes on tab at my side
I don't see the sun much these days
A fluorescent tan covers my hide
How much impact shall I have this time?
My goal today is to reac the deadline
I deal with fantasy
I report the facts
Give them to me, please
Ham and egg sald on white bread keeps me company on nights like this
A pack of metholated cigarettes keeps my air nice and thick
When I write, words flow like coins from a candy box
Get out of my way
I've got something to say
The cramps in my hands grow more intense with each
Tik, tik, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap on the keys
My social life is at an end so it seems to be
Why don't I trample on your lawn today?
I'll take skies of blue, turn over skies of grey
I write between the lines
I deal with fantasy
I am the pressman
Acknowledge me
Mother always told me never stray too far from home
The little lady said, "Boy, you'll never have to be alone,
Because,"
You build with fountain pen
You create the memory stain
You are the pressman
Stand up straight, boy

Primus The Pressman Comments
Fake News!
This song is sick.
Genius song. I don't know how one finds this cadence. Claypool is a a master.
This song is so epic. I love both album versions of the song.
This is a perfect moment when you see them live to give Les some shit and demand to show off his greatness!
I love how Les interacts with the audience so much. They yell "FUCK YOU LES!" and instead of crying about it and leaving he'll bring the audience to a stare and bust out the most extraterrestrial bass playing the world has ever heard, literally!
Definitely the best lyrics he's ever written
All this time I thought he said, I am the pressman, " ignorance please" lol
Track 10 of pork soda album
One of my regular songs for masturbation
Hahaha the pulse is beating louder now 😂
yeah cool lyrics bro
As one of the few songs that acknowledges and respects the role that a journalist plays in our societies, this is a rarity. Killing a journalist is a war crime, a crime against our humanity. Getting killed, maimed, illegally detained or tortured is NOT to be accepted as merely part of this job.
these days journalists are nothing but propaganda spewing pawns, no mater if it;s FOX, VICE or CNN all that counts is the narrative
I don't interpret these lyrics as being particularly respectful to journalists... it seems though he's mocking them
this reminds me to Winston Smith and his job on 1984 idk why
love this...awesome background for anything you're doing
Clearwater primus and the chocolate factory the best ever my girl front row stopped the concert center stage mwah love u girl
These guys are genius
KICKING RUSTY
