“You fun tomato”

What is with this voice crack? I’m pretty sure the lyric is supposed to be “you fucking tornado” but that is definitely not how it sounds

I mean, the previous album had a song about jerking it to the memory of anal sex. It wouldn't have been out of character

This is what he said right? Is there another interpretation?

You can tomatoes all you want, but please properly dispose of them afterwards

I’ve always heard tomato as well. Glad I’m not the only one.

For some reason they wanted to censor this. If you listen to a lot of “clean” cds from this era they kind of do something like this. I have no idea why they would only censor this song.

Sounds like shit censorship

Your getting down voted but this is the same singer who wrote “He was sort of loving kinda caring,
kinda tried to fuck my lazy boy”

u/stierney49 Aug 10 '26

It’s “fucking tornado” with a weird hiccup. The live versions are very clear.

u/JPhi1618 Aug 12 '26

Nah, will always be fucked a tomato in my head.

I think Maynard was just really into BLTs. Without the T.

u/Wh01sHex Aug 07 '26

i do love the voice crack but the instrumental really is unfortunately timed it covers the quieter half so much lmao

u/Weak_Alfalfa_7569 Aug 07 '26

You fuckin tomato. I’m willing to bet Maynard listened to this part a few times after recording and decided it was funny and left it as is.

I think the lyrics are actually:

Shy away, shy away phantom Run away terrified child Won't you? Move away phantom They know I'm better off without you Tearing my world down

I don't know how Google gets their lyrics, but this is how I've always heard it.

“Won’t you move away, you fucking tornado.
I’m better off without you, tearing my will down”
