You said go You said stay Got so confused I tried to do both So I broke out in a sweat Cashed my check And I spent it to death And it's hard to compete And it's hard to eat When you're beating your teeth on the ground And it's rude Did you ever even think about the impression That you gave to the pigs To the kids With the hazardous waste in their wine And their eyes And their gasoline hormones Accessories accessorising You said go You said stay You said try a combination But I din't even know where to start I was lost I was beige I was over and under my age Like a video Like a chick Like a dead man moving too quick In my way Had no plan Passin' out flyers for some punk rock band From San Diego A freak show It's purposely out of control Soakin' it like a sponge She's tidying up the grunge The expectations were pulsing so pure Over-rated bleakness So hard, so easy to endure 'Cause it's plain and it's real Back to the future Make a new deal With the distortion soundin' fake And the rest of the best was a big mistake So let's cruise Let's freak 'Cause it's payday everyday of the week (Go, baby, go, baby, go)

A música foi o primeiro single do álbum Odelay de 1996 e foi escrita por Beck em 1995.
A faixa estreou no festival Lollapalooza em 1995 em uma versão muito semelhante à que foi gravada no álbum.
Diversas amostras faladas da música vêm de um álbum obscuro de educação sexual chamado Sex for Teens: (Where It's At).
A canção incorpora amostras vocais do grupo de rap Mantronix e de "The Frogs", além de fazer referência a Gary Wilson.
Em 1º de agosto de 1996, o videoclipe se tornou o primeiro a ser transmitido no canal MTV2.
O clipe apresenta uma paródia do vídeo de "Rocket Man" com William Shatner e a música foi adaptada para a série Futurama, na qual o personagem Bender toca a vareta de lavar roupa.
