Puss
The Jesus Lizard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Get me something to stop the bleeding, 'cause I'm fittin to blow
Knock her down the stairwell and kick her, I think you can take her
Shove more buorbon down her mouth hole
'cause she's the one that needs a nailing
Ya might as well just open the door and
Get her out of the truck, get her out of the truck,
get her out of the truck, get her out of the truck
Get her out of the truck, get her out of the truck,
ger her out of the truck, get her out of the truck
Get me something to stop the bleeding, 'cause I'm fittin to blow
Knock her down the stairwell and kick her, I think you can take her
Oh, she's the one that needs a nailing
Ya might as well just open the door and
Get her out of the truck, get her out of the truck,
get her out of the truck, get her out of the truck
Get her out of the truck, get her out of the truck,
ger her out of the truck, get her out of the truck
Get her out, pow in the bush, yeah right in the kisser
Shove more buorbon down her mouth hole
Pow, smacked in the puss, straight in the sucker,
plum in the kisser, busted her pie hole
Square in the yap, punched in the jaw,
straight in the sucker, dead in her tongue pin, busted in her pie
Square in the yap, punched in the jaw,
plum in the kisser, dead in her tongue, crushed (acrost) her pie
Smacked in the mush

Overall Meaning

The Jesus Lizard's song "Puss" is a disturbing and violent portrayal of physical abuse and rape. The lyrics depict a man who is "fittin to blow" and needs something to stop the bleeding, which could imply that he has physically attacked someone. He then suggests knocking a woman down the stairwell and kicking her, and shoving more bourbon down her mouth hole. The repeated line "she's the one that needs a nailing" is a reference to rape, and indicates a disturbing level of misogyny.


The song's chorus emphasizes the urgency of getting the victim out of the truck, as if the song is describing a situation where the assault has occurred in a vehicle. The violent language in the rest of the lyrics is a disturbing portrayal of the abuser's mindset and the brutality of the attack. The final line "Smacked in the mush" is a statement of aggression and violence towards the victim.


Overall, "Puss" is a graphic and disturbing portrayal of violence against women. The lyrics are intentionally provocative and designed to shock and disturb the listener. While some may argue that the song is a commentary on the prevalence of violence against women, the violent language and imagery used in the lyrics make it difficult to interpret as anything other than a glorification of such violence.

The way that guy in welding glasses pops out with that face expression gets me each time 😂

This is honestly one of the most perfect songs I've ever heard. Just flawless, one of those that feels like it always existed but we just needed a band to make it.

@Koettnylle

I approve of this metaphor
