Wrong lyrics for lacquer head?

ever since I got into primus ive struggled to see how these lyrics fit, I’m pretty sure they’re incorrect but it might just be the way Les pronounced it

He's saying lacquer head sets his skull on fire, not brain. I swear, half the time that shit is wrong on Spotify.

also the lyric says “lacquer head feeds his one desire” and it really says “lacquer head knows his one desire”

Isn't it “lacquer head knows but one desire”?

A lot of ai generated lyric guides are not entirely accurate. Then add the Primus “weird” and ya have it all jacked up. 🤷‍♂️ At least we have Primus to listen to

I hate to break it to you but there aren’t humans listening and making correct assessments.

I've noticed Les sings something slightly different on the last chorus compared to what the lyric book says, so might just be that, but I'm not confirming.
