Meat Puppets - Rotten Shame Lyrics






Well they say it's a rotten shame
Everyone is for now to blame
It's the end and it's all the same
Rotten ghost without a name

Go away is the other thing
Nothing more than the other wing
On fin, one cotton ball
Copper green on a plaster wall

Here I am maybe again
Hear I am maybe again
Like a monster hanging from a tree
Here I am maybe again

Wood, metal, cars and war
They don't do it anymore
No fruit, cottonseed
They're not worth the price of weed

Cheese, shot, shattered bones
They're not worth a garden gnome
[?] boxes, yellow tape
They're not worth another shape

Here I am maybe again
Hear I am maybe again
Like a monster hanging from a tree
Here I am maybe again

Seen riding, seen flying, seen riding, seen flying

And they say it's a rotten shame
Everything is for now to blame
In the end when it's all the same
Rotten ghost without a name

Go away, that's another thing
Nothing more than the other wing
One fin, one cotton ball
Copper green on a plaster wall

Wood, metal, cars and war
They won't do it anymore
They're not worth the price of weed
Nothing more than a cotton seed

Here I am maybe again
Hear I am maybe again
Like a monster hanging from a tree
Here I am maybe again

Here I am maybe again
Hear I am maybe again
Like a monster hanging from a tree
Here I am maybe again

Well they say it's a rotten shame

    Coolest fucking people on earth. I got to meet both of them and Curt signed a pick for me that I found off the floor at their show. He let me go backstage and meet his brother as well..one of the coolest moments of my entire life. He was like let's go back there and the security guard was like you can't go back there and Curt was like follow me and he took me back lol Cris was already backstage after the show and Curt and I were talking he actually took the time and talked to me not just like a shoulder brush. I almost brought my nirvana unplugged dvd for them to sign but I didn't know if it would trudge up some bad feelings since they were friends with Kurt. If you haven't seen them live please go! You will not forget it.

    Excellent video, Dave... and I too would love to see a documentary. The story of the band and the brothers is a haunting and beautiful journey, and I'm grateful that the guys have survived and endured, creating a surreal and magical soundtrack of their lives, and allowing us to share the experience! They deserve a lot more respect and recognition, and a documentary of your quality will help... so I wish you best of luck, and hope to see the Puppets again soon, with many more trips to come.
