Givin’ Up Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My mama wants to know
Where I'm spending all my dough
Honey, all she does is nag, nag, nag
But I won't apologize
I'd inject into my eyes
If there was nowhere else to stick my skag
All I want is brown
And I'm going into town
Shooting up as soon as I'm back
My friends have got some good shit
All I want is some of it
Gimme, gimme, gimme that smack
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I've ruined nearly all of my veins
Sticking that fucking shit into my arms
Yeah-yeah
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Givin' up, givin' up givin' a fuck
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Givin' up, givin' up givin' a fuck
[Verse 2]
Getting off my face
There's a dragon I must chase
Honey, I'm the scourge of all mankind
And everyone but me
Is destined just to be
Slaves to the remorseless grind
[Pre-Chorus]
But I found myself an easy way out
Sticking that fucking shit into my arms
Into my arms
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Givin' up, givin' up givin' a fuck
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Givin' up, givin' up givin' a fuck
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Givin' up, givin' up givin' a fuck
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Givin' up, givin' up givin' a fuck
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Givin' up, givin' up givin' a fuck
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Givin' up, givin' up givin' a fuck
