In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey
Butane in my veins so I'm out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
Kill the headlights and put it in neutral
Stock car flamin' with a loser and the cruise control
Baby's in Reno with the vitamin D
Got a couple of couches, sleep on the love seat

Someone keeps sayin' I'm insane to complain
About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt
Don't believe everything that you read
You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve
So shave your face with some mace in the dark
Savin' all your food stamps and burnin' down the trailer park

Yo, cut it
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me? (double barrel buckshot)

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?

The forces of evil in a Bozo nightmare
Ban all the music with a phony gas chamber
'Cause one's got a weasel and the other's got a flag
One's on the pole, shove the other in the bag
With the rerun shows and the cocaine nose job
The daytime crap with the folksinger slop
He hung himself with a guitar string
A slab of turkey neck and it's hangin' from a pigeon wing

Gotta get right if you can't relate
Trade the cash for the beef, for the body, for the hate
And my time is a piece of wax fallin' on a termite
That's chokin' on the splinters

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me?
(Get crazy with the Cheeze Whiz)

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me?
(Drive-by body pierce)

(Yo bring it on down)
Soy

(I'm a driver, I'm a winner, things are gonna change I can feel it)

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me?

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the time of chimpanzees, I was a monkey
Butane in my veins, and I'm out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
Kill the headlights and put it in neutral
Stock car flaming with the loser in the cruise control
Baby's in Reno with the vitamin D
Got a couple of couches, sleep on the loveseat
Someone came, saying I'm insane to complain
About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt
Don't believe everything that you breathe
You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve
So shave your face with some mace in the dark
Saving all your food stamps and burning down the trailer park
Yo, cut it

[Chorus]
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser, baby, so why don't you kill me?
(Double barrel buckshot)
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser, baby, so why don't you kill me?

[Verse 2]
The forces of evil in a bozo nightmare
Ban all the music with the phony gas chamber
Cause one's got a weasel, and the other's got a flag
One's on the pole, shove the other in a bag
With the rerun shows and the cocaine nose job
The daytime crap of the folksinger slob
He hung himself with a guitar string
A slab of turkey neck, and it's hanging from a pigeon wing
You can't write if you can't relate
Trade the cash for the beat, for the body, for the heat
And my time is a piece of wax falling on a termite
Who's choking on the splinters

[Chorus]
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser, baby, so why don't you kill me?
(Get crazy with the cheese whiz)
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser, baby, so why don't you kill me?

In the time of chimpanzees
I was a monkey
Butane in my veins
And I'm out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs,
Spray-paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
Kill the headlights

Stock car flaming with a loser
And the cruise control
Baby's in Reno with the vitamin D
Got a couple of couches,
Sleep on the love seat
Someone keeps saying
I'm insane to complain
About a shotgun wedding
And a stain on my shirt
Don't believe everything that you breathe
You get a parking violation

It's funny, that I never heard it, but it has teen spirit, so it gives me recalling I don't have. Does it make sense? This song is deeper than my recollections.

@antred11 The problem many people can't. Youth is not always fun for everyone, to me it sounded more like mocking.

antred11

Ugh, don't remind me of that. When you're young and older people tell you to enjoy your youth because it'll be over all too soon, you kinda think "Yeah sure, cool story, grandpa.", but then before you know 3 years have passed, except it's really been 3 decades instead of years. 😮‍💨

I think it's unfair to make assumptions as to how old people are because of what music they listen to. I'm probably a fair bit younger than a lot of people here but I still prefer this kind of music to music from the 00's/10's. It's not a generational difference, there will be people from the 80's/90's that prefer Beyonce and Taylor Swift to this kind of music, and there will be kids from the 00's that prefer this kind of music. There are a lot of factors that contribute to a persons music taste other than the era they were brought up in, for example, I listened to the same kind of music that my brother listened to when I was a kid, which just so happened to be mainly rock/alternative/grunge from the 90s.

Beck is awesome!!!! Saw him at Red Rocks and was an amazing show! Met my son and his wife from Chicago there, waited in line 5 hours for choice seats. I bet my son that the first song would be Devil's Haircut, I won the bet!!

I put “Soy un perdedor” as my yearbook quote because this song was my anthem during high school. After so many years, I’m surprised that I’m not feeling like a loser anymore. Glad I didn’t peak in high school lol

@kray2sick to my mind
' to peak ' is to get to the top

example like the top of Everest ( the mountain) the top is the peak, the highest point . If that makes sense . your ain't stupid .

This song saved my life. It made me proud to be called a loser. It really saved my life, back in the '90's. It can save yours too. When someone calls you a loser, you just sing this song loudly. Beck made us losers feel okay about life. No one can put you down now. We rise above. So many quotes I still use "Things are gonna change, I can feel it." Laugh it off. The name loser can never get you down now. Crank it. LOVE YOU FOREVER for THIS, BECK!!!

@Woolsey Cole I remember the first time I saw the vid when it was new. A lot of groups edged in on us kids that were 8 to 10 years younger with clever videos and hooks we'd chant to one another at school-- that got us to buy their albums and go to their concerts. If they were really good (and many, like Beck ended up having a lot more to say) they kept evolving. I remember my early thought about Radiohead was they were a British Nirvana clone with "Creep" and then someone, not long after, turned me onto OK Computer and my head exploded. So much of it happened that way. In retrospect it was pretty crass and corporate but there was good art that came from it. I'd call it a win for those who could hold their breath while in the shit pipe.

This video always cracks me up. The bad breakdancing, the burning squeegee, the guy jumping on the bench. Sheer hilarity. It does capture the vibe of the early 90s, a time in which people were getting over the triumphalism of the 80s. Fits perfectly with the song.

Beck was the original hipster

Holly

@AndyK304 The Grateful Dead were not Beatniks. Beatniks usually wore black and talked poetry, played bongos,. and snapped their fingers as applause. Grateful Dead people were Hippies. Think the dancing bears and the covers for Terrapin Station and Keep on Truckin'.

AndyK304

"Hipster" dates back to 1940, and it derives from "hep" through "hip", both words that popped up in jive speech.. First use of "hip" as "having awareness of" and/or "very fashionable" goes back to 1904, while the first use of "hep" is found in 1862. "Hip"/"Hep" was, for most of the 20th Century, linked to jazz, and only tied in with rock 'n' roll when beatniks like the Grateful Dead started embracing something other than folk and jazz.
