Flaming Lips, The - Love Yer Brain Lyrics






Sometimes I don't know what to think about the world
When this guy is burnin' up in the street with gasoline
And the flames show no mercy
So when you really need someone to talk to you
It doesn't always work like it's supposed to

You can love yer brain
Even if it slips down the drain
Man, I'm not no drug addict
But a person's gotta have something
To keep him from going insane

Well, this man kills this other man
Who's killed this other man, so it's okay
And this fourteen year old's sittin' in the electric chair
Smilin' and smokin' a cigarette
So I guess I was right all along readin' mad magazine

Flaming Lips, The Love Yer Brain Comments
  1. S.... F....

    "A man killed a man who killed another man, so it's ok"-he sings sarcastically. His logic is flawed and too shallow though the general thought is worth pause. Killing stupid impulsive killers protects the greater GoOD. Also depends on the circumstances, context of initial murder for full determination. Murder is essential. It always will be. The problem with humanity is that usually the wrong people are murdered because they were blamed for someone elses faults and that someone else got away because most humans are too cowardly to face and destroy genuine evil.....so humanity kills off innocents instead and names DEMONS as god as children and such are sacrificed to a stupid bitch beast demon that lacks honor and balance. Humans are 99.99% cloned trash. Look at the world. There is no excuse for all the unnecessary h3LL.

    The Flaming Lips in the 80's were a force to be reckoned with. I mean they lit up drum cymbals and revving a motorcycle till it filled the venue with smoke, to even covering Sonic Youth's 'Death Valley '69. They were and are amazing. Especially back then.

    Check out my band's (Deadbeat Society) version of this amazing song (click my username). We rewrote the music but kept the melody, lyrics & vibe. It's also quite a bit faster haha.
