Lyrics The Sold-Out Artist - The Residents

The Sold-Out Artist

Out in the street and under the sun
I kissed his feet and loaded his gun
Sooner or later everyone does
Everybody feeds the fat boy
Everybody feeds the fat boy
They just don’t get it!
Vampires — vampires!
It’s all about vampires,
but they’re all vampires, too.
It’s all about sucking on something.
Some suck scum, some suck tits and some just suck up.
They all suck something
Except Ted Williams.
He never sucked.
I’ll be buried with my Ted Williams cards.
He hit .406 in 1941. Coulda sat out the last game with a .3995 and gone in the
book as .400, but he played, and he went four for five.
Ted Williams,
he never sucked
Yeah they all think I suck, but they really wish their stuff sold like mine.
Next I’ll do «Nude Descending a Staircase.»
I’ll get a hundred grand for it!
Let 'em suck that!
