Jivin' Myself Lyrics - Singles - Herman Brood

I'm sick of the city 

sick of the heat 

sick of 'm dopey nitwits 

at the shootin' galery 

sick from pickin' up the craps 

from half the chicks that I touch 

Social diseases & ratty lil' habits 

closin' me in 

drivin' me nuts 

Always thought I had complete control & 

one day you wake up honey 

down in the hole 

I've been jivin' myself too long 

I've been jivin' myself too long 

Wake up too far gone to do y'r 

lousy routine 

like rip off some fag 

down at the pissin' machine 

You know the past is a wound in the head 

lookin' back is a pain in the neck 

been jivin' myself too long 

with phone extacy 

lust for life 

straight from the pharmacy 

I've been jivin' myself too long 

I've been jivin' myself too long 

There's a thing called love 

but I can't seem to find it 

don't see them in the street 

don't see it in the poolhall at the disco 

don't see it at places 

where people should meet 

There must be more good in life 

than I can see 

gotta find I way to make it part of me 

lord have mercy 

just some private lil' fantasy 

now back to reality, look out 

see that bum pull a gun 

for a hand full of chickenfeed 

right in the middle of 

weekend shoppin' mainstreet 

beat a bum for 25 cents 

surrounded by tourists 

& uniformed misfits 

I've been jivin' myself too long
