About This Track

'Slackerbitch' by Placebo is an alternative track from the album 'Placebo: B-Sides', released in 1997. The lyrics are a confrontational, self-blaming tirade that circles around regret, with the repeated insistence that it was not meant, alongside a specific reference to cocaine. In the chorus, the language turns openly abusive and targets identity and promiscuity, while the narrator treats the subject with contempt. The song ends with the refrain “Slackerbitch, faghag, whore”, leaving its hostility hanging in the air.

"Slackerbitch" is a track by Placebo, from the album Placebo: B-Sides, released 20th January 1997. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 7 articles about Placebo.

Lyrics

Slackerbitch

[Verse 1]

It echoes in my brain

I didn't mean it

Pulses through my veins

I didn't mean it

I'm the one to blame

I didn't mean it

Did too much cocaine

I didn't mean it

[Chorus]

Slackerbitch, faghag, whore

Looks real cute, her lips are sore

Slackerbitch, faghag, whore

Always comes back for more

[Verse 2]

Your memory will fade

I didn't mean it

You've always had it made

I didn't mean it

I know you feel betrayed

I didn't mean it

I just wanted to get laid

I didn't mean it

[Chorus]

Slackerbitch, faghag, whore

Looks real cute, her lips are sore

Slackerbitch, faghag, whore

Always knocking on my door

[Verse 3]

You come across impure

I didn't mean it

You're goddamn immature

I didn't mean it

You act so insecure

I didn't mean it

You hate me now I'm sure

I didn't mean it

[Chorus]

Slackerbitch, faghag, whore

Looks real cute, her lips are sore

Slackerbitch, faghag, whore

Dripping sex from every pore

Slackerbitch, faghag, whore

Looks real cute, her lips are sore

Slackerbitch, faghag, whore

Such a motherfucking bore
