Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers - Asshole Lyrics

Always liked Beck, but Tom’s version is better imo.

I've been on Tom's team all my life, and his. We've lost all the Wilburys but Jeff Lynne. George is gone, Bob, Roy, Tom, I can't begin to list the artists that made up the soundtrack of our lives. Save up the memories because "this" won't pass our way again. I'm proud to be part of this generation. We did it all.

earl pittman ...thankfully, Bob is still with us. It’s only him and Jeff left in the Wilburys.

Your brains went black when she took back her love
And put it out into the sun
The birds did fly when the heavens all went dry
And the cigarettes were smoking by themselves
She'll do anything
She'll do anything
She'll do anything to make you feel like an asshole
Call her name, she looks the same as you
Question marks stretched across her skin
She dangles carrots, makes you feel embarrassed
To be the fool you know you are
She'll do anything
She'll do anything
She'll do anything to make you feel like an asshole

The ONLY artist who could take a Beck song and make it sound so much better than Beck himself. Tom Petty was Badass! Thanks for the truly innovative, original, unique, timeless songs/lyrics. Thanks for the inspiration. Thanks for the memories (which are many). RIP Tom! You will be missed, more than words can say.

.. there's FAITH again

Rest In Peace music man..

I know several people who just love to make others feel like an asshole. They are quick with put downs, and love to point out mistakes.

You shouldn't personalize the song so much ..

Guess i can't help it, my Dad use to reserve the word for very special people a few times a year, he would say it with such conviction, I would actually believe they were an asshole. It is a wonderful song I must say, it got right into my head the first time I heard it.

Actually the whole point of music is to make you feel, so yeah. Personalize it all that you want. 👍🏻

Only Tom Petty could make the word asshole sound chill.

Wasn't this done for a movie? Sorry I disagree I think it's one of the worst things Petty's ever done and he hasn't done too many

Tom Petty wrote almost every song for the soundtrack of the Jennifer Aniston movie "She's the One" back in 1996. There were a few non-Tom Petty songs on it plus a few that he did covers of like "Asshole" and "Change the Locks"

oh look a song with my name in the title.

Same here, dude.

Y’all have the same name as me!

the greats are covering beck now? Is beck now a great that tom petty and jack white look up to? Very good cover though.

Mark Mathews tom petty's version is way better though

this happened way back in like 1997

and hate to break it to you but Jack White is overrated garbage. Him, Kurt Cobain and Lenny Kravitz THE MOST OVERRATED POS in rock ever.

The media say: "yes!". I certainly don't think Beck is a "great" in the Tom Petty, Neil Young, Bob Dylan sense, but he's considered so by Time Magazine, etc. I'm older, but have still kept up with modern music and enjoyed some of it. But "Great" isn't something I've run across in newer music. I don't think Beck will live on as the greats throughout time have, but that's just my opinion.

And I listen to Tompetty when I am 13

You're not special stop commenting this garbage

My Fav Song!!!!!

I heard on good authority that Tom likes to use public toilets and piss on the seats.

I heard that sometimes he parks in handicapped spaces,
While handicapped PEOPLE
Make handicapped FACES

Still breaking in my soul.

Petty doing a Beck cover is cool, but Petty covering THIS Beck song is genius!!!
