Cuckoo For Caca Lyrics

It's cold and it's smooth and it's
A hard shade of white
And everybody needs to lick the surface clean
And it never tastes better
It never tastes better

White blooms to white and freezes white again
Close it before something crawls in
Commit it, leave it, get away we always
Drop our good side

Being good gets you stuff
Being stuff gets you good
Good stuff gets you being
And wheelin' and dealin' and squealin'
Shit lives forever
'Cause shit lives forever

They have no legs, but chase us anyway
Wipe the shadow of your best friend
Gave birth to something we don't want to be
We drop our good side

You can't kill it
You can't kill it
You can't kill it
You can't kill it

Eat is just as deep as you can fuck it
So cough it up or go down
And there's only one thing that separates a man...

Shit lives forever
'Cause shit lives forever
Shit lives forever
'Cause shit lives forever

We'll retire with the turd on our lips
Under a pair of knowing eyes
I'm gonna take a few down with me
And drop my good side

You can't kill it
You can't kill it
You can't kill it
You can't kill it

Take it from our drummer, "Puff"
Being good it gets you stuff

Since everyone has figured out that this song both refers to a drug in a white powdered form and to shit, how about we join two and two together?

Methamphetamine, a.k.a. Tina, a.k.a. crystal, a.k.a. meth, a.k.a. stuff, a.k.a. shit, is called shit in its powder form when eaten because it tastes like ahem shit. And it's also called stuff, by which name it's referred to several times in this song. And it's HUGE in the Bay Area.

you know, that actually makes sense. after a while of thinking, I think you can say that "drop our good side" means money - paying.

There are still lines that don't quite make sense, like "Eat is just as deep as you can fuck it So cough it up or go down And there's only one thing that separates a man..."

maybe it's pay up (cough it) or we hurt you (go down). and threat lingers - "only one thing that separates a man.."

Not Valid

Feces.

I think this is basically Patton revelling in all the media attention about his cackery, and basically saying, "yeah, that's right c^&ts, I eat shit, and I love it!!" with a sort of ironic gusto. He hasn't made any effort to hide what the song's about by making complex lyrics. Perhaps he preferred this sort of approach to everybody's thoughts about all that stuff, rather than hiding from it and making excuses about his behaviour.
