Givin’ Up [Live at the Astoria 2003] 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 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

Well, I′ve ruined nearly all of my veins
Sticking that fucking shit into my arms
Yeah-yeah

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, let's grind

But I found myself an easy way out
Sticking that fucking shit into my arms
Into my arms, into my arm, woo-hoo

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

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
Aye
