Lyrics
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
