Slaughter of Bruce Lyrics by The Gits

Frenching the Bully (re-remixed and remastered)

1992

[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Well, I was working in a shithole one day
Some fool came up to me and said
"You'd make a star with that band,"
I said, "It's not why I'm doing this
Why can't you fucking get it?"
[Verse 2]
'Cause all I've got to do is release through
These obstacles I've got to beat
Release from the man who manipulates me
By the breaking of my back
With nothing left worth saving
Well, all I gotta do is release through the
Obstacles I've yet to beat
[Verse 3]
Take us to a sturdy ship
And we'll raise our glasses
No pints too dodgy here
No, we don't need our problems here
Away from all these people
They're posing about, waiting for the next scheme
To tip them off and leave them drowning
In what they think is real
[Verse 4]
All that's ever been and all that's been said
It's not to my regret, you gotta face the edge of yourself
And they say if you got humor through it all
You'll find the will to survive what seems like hell
Take me to the water, launch me out to bloody sea
'Cause all you gotta do is release
Through these obstacles you've got to beat
Take me to the water
Launch us out to sea
And may the drunken mad ones follow me
