"Pissant" is a song from The Smashing Pumpkins' 1994 compilation album, Pisces Iscariot, originally released with the "Cherub Rock" single in July 1993. The Japanese release Siamese Dream included the song under the title "Hikari Express".

“ pissant is one of the few things we have ever recorded live. done during the siamese drean sessions late at night and full of teenage pain. i made up all these lyrics in 10 minutes got my raygun, got me an altitude, can't help feeling somethings wrong with everyone of everyone of you. don't know what it's about don't care rawk. kerry and d'arcy tried to talk me into putting this one the album- and i was tempted, but no i just couldn't see it in there amongst the tall trees. not as much shade or room for the little ones. ” — Billy Corgan, Pisces Iscariot liner notes

Lyrics

got me a raygun
got me an altitude
can't help feelin' something's wrong
with every one of you

inside your head
trust me instead
inside your head

talk revolution
as if it matters now
i don't care anyway
just give me what i want

inside your head
trust me instead
inside your head

oh, honey
fill me with your little whispers
still they think of nightmares
of a generation sent to burn

come on honey
let's go for a ride
down where the crickets learn to sing and play, baby

inside your head
trust me instead
inside your head
trust me instead
inside your head
trust me instead
inside your head

yeah, it's a motherfucker
oh, hey

(WOO!)
