Givin’ Up - Live at Wembley, 2004 Songtext
von The Darkness

My mama wants to know
Where I′m spending all my dough
Honey, all she does is nag, nag, nag
But I won't apologise
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

Well, I′ve ruined nearly all of my veins
Sticking that fucking shit into my arms
Yeah, yeah, oh, oh (sing to me)

(Oh, 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


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

But I found myself an easy way out
Sticking that fucking shit into my arms
Into my arms

(Oh, 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, 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, oh)
Givin′ up, givin' up givin′ a fuck

Givin' up, givin′ up givin' a fuck
