Música do BioTerra: Frank Black - Hang On To Your Ego
I know so many people
Who think they can do it alone
They isolate their heads
And stay in the safety zone
But what can you tell them?
What can you say that won't make them defensive?
So...
Hang on to your ego
Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight
They come on like they're peaceful
But inside they're so uptight
They trip through the day
And waste all their thoughts at night
But how can I say it?
How can I come on when I know I'm guilty?
So...
Hang on to your ego
Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight
And how can I say it?
How can I come on when I know I'm guilty?
Hang on to your ego
Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight
Hang on to your ego
Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight
Hang on to your ego
Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight
Black Francis' first solo album was going to be a covers album. When he came to the studio to record it, however, he already had composed a number of tracks, so he ended up only keeping this one cover in what became the debut album of his new persona, Frank Black.
Brian Wilson wrote this song – ironically and sadly – a bit before he actually lost his mind / ego. However, the rest of the The Beach Boys didn’t really like the stoner tone of the lyrics and changed it. “I Know There’s an Answer" was the result. The original version was only released in 1990, but it was already famous a bootleg.
The Pixies covered “Hang on to Your Ego” live a few times, including for a BBC Session, although it was never officially released.
What did Frank Black say about "Hang on to Your Ego"?
Frank Black in a 1993 Interview:
Classy band. Classy guy, Brian Wilson. Classy song. It’s called “Hang On To Your Ego.” It doesn’t get much crasser and cool than that. It’s like recording a song called “I Am The Greatest.”
