“Battle in Me” was the first new song Garbage created when the sessions for Not Your Kind of People were convened in early 2010.
Starting out in a recording studio with the rule that nobody could bring in old demos or ideas, “Battle in Me” sprung from the group jamming. The initial take amounted to...
[Verse 1]
Look at you, an accident of drinking
What a mess, a train wreck of lipstick
What a joke, but do you hear me laughing?
Get out my face before I lose my patience
Now me and you, let's cut this party
Oh little boy, it takes a lot to shake me
So shake it
[Chorus]
It's the battle in me
It's the battle in you
It's the battle in me
It's the battle in you
[Verse 2]
It's a bloody war of attrition
Let's see which one of us is going to last the night
Cause I have all of my wits around me
And I'll be damned if I'm done
"White Rabbit" plays right when the room starts spinning
Make it hard, I want something to happen
So make it happen
[Chorus]
It's the battle in me
It's the battle in you
It's the battle in me
It's the battle in you
[Bridge]
Let's take a torch
To the past and the future
And let's make out
I won't tell your girlfriend
See how it feels with a passion burning
We'll be damned when we're done
[Interlude]
Shake it, shake it
Shake it off
Shake it, shake it
Shake it off
Shake it, shake it
Shake it off
Shake it, shake it
[Chorus]
Cause it's the battle in you
It's the battle in me
Cause it's the battle in you
It's the battle in me
[Outro]
Shake it, shake it
Shake it off
Shake it, shake it
Shake it off
Shake it, shake it
Shake it off
Shake it, shake it
Shake it off
