Primus - Power Mad

Great Primus song, from the album Antipop.

Lyrics...
Military show is Blastin' off to Kosovo.
Military show with lightning speed.
Sensitivity? Oh, just a rusty nail in the corporate show.
How many stabs before we bleed?

Those Pinocchios chattering out in stereo,
boy Pinnocchio and his golden deed.
Masculinity? Oh, galvanized in the world wide show
as we fertilise the seed.

Power mad, I didn't chop the tree down dad
I only try to do what's right.
Power man, the best friend that you ever had
unless of course you choose to fight.

Power mad, driving out of the shadows,
he never tires when he plays.
Power mad, he's a streak in the night time
speculating how he'll take on the world some day.

Originality? Oh, just a rusty nail in a Broadway show
how many stabs before we succeed.

Power mad, I didn't drop my pants down dad,
I know my left hand from my right.
Power man, the best friend that you ever had
unless of course you lose the fight.

Fucking awesome song dude, been working on it myself, I never even bothered to try copying Les though.

Nice man. Thanks for the nice comments. Claypool isn't the hardest too get good at. Look at what he plays and learn it piece by piece and then work on speed. You'll get it man.

I am so tired of the "Primus sucks!" comments and then the following "Hey wtf man no they don't!" comments. Then there's always the third fagg who says "Hey guess what les claypool hates the slogan now!" shut the fuck up the music is god in audio form that's all we need to know

[weathered79]

the beginning always cracks me up

[thomas3zz]

primus radiates shards of broken glass

[VomBudd]

@Boddo1221 it's actually pretty straightforward if you have an OK slap speed and just do a bit of improv for the verses, as long as you've got the scale and the rhythm the verse is just a little funking along to the rest

[Boddo1221]

@graveflowerx hey on bass its not the hardest primus song so u mite be able to do it

[idontknowwhattomakem]

@Greenmonster97 and then the 4th fag who says les changed the slogan

[shane71998]

@Greenmonster97 he officially changed the slogan to "i have a lovely pair of coconuts" you know...

[kovalevisgod]

@finowa I remember in his weekly rant on the old primussucks website, Bob Cock once said that the third man in a three-man buttfuck is called a Lucky Pierre. So I believe that would make you Lucky Pierre. I think that's just the tops man!!! Haw.

[chupioftheloom]
