Beetlebum Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Beetlebum
What you done?
She's a gun
Now what you done, beetlebum?
Get nothing done
You beetlebum
Just get numb
Now what you done, beetlebum?
[Chorus]
And when she lets me slip away
She turns me on and all my violence gone
Nothing is wrong
I just slip away and I am gone
Nothing is wrong
She turns me on
I just slip away and I am gone
[Verse 2]
Beetlebum
Because you're young
She's a gun
Now what you done, beetlebum?
She'll suck your thumb
She'll make you cum
'Cause she's your gun
Now what you done, beetlebum?
[Chorus]
And when she lets me slip away
She turns me on and all my violence gone
Nothing is wrong
I just slip away and I am gone
There's nothing wrong
She turns me on
I just slip away and I am gone
[Outro]
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it
He's on, he's on, he's on it

What did Blur say about "Beetlebum"?
I’m not sure what a Beetlebum is. It’s just a word I sang when I played the song to myself. I asked the others if I should change it, but they said no. If it felt right, we decided that we wouldn’t tidy it up like we’ve done in the past. It’s about drugs basically.
—Damon Albarn
