Flipping the Bird Songtext
von Garbage

I stopped listening to you years ago
You always think that you know best, I know
I hear you explain things from the other room
You spread your legs and you gesticulate

You tell me who you think I am
You tell me, you tell me
And I agree with you but deep inside
You tell it
I am flipping you the bird again
You tell me
Seek long enough and ye shall find, my friend
You tell me, you tell it

I am hungry, but I learnt long ago
No, you don′t eat the hand that feeds, I know
I eat my anger 'cause I am angry, man
I smile and say you′re right because I can


(You try to love) you try to love
(But you're too far gone inside)
You're hard to love
(Your own self-worth, it died) You′re hard to love
You try to love (inside)

You tell me who you think I am
You tell me, you tell me
And I agree with you but deep inside
You tell it
I am flipping you the bird again
You tell me
Seek long enough and ye shall find, my friend
You tell me, you tell me
You tell me
You tell me

I stole your jacket (I stole your jacket)
Because you′re meek (because you're meek)
The one who asks (the one who asks)
Will not receive (will not receive)
Because you′re meek
Flipping the bird
Flipping the bird
Flipping the bird
