I Don't Need You (to Grind Me Down)

from Scratched Surface (1998) by fiffdimension

/

lyrics

Dave Edwards - electric guitar & vocal
Tim McVicar - bass

I say 'I love you', you say you gotta go
You got a date with some guy I don't know
Then it turns out it's my brother you're screwing
I don't know know what you're doing to my head
I don't need you to grind me down

I'd like to teach the world to sing discordant out of key
Against the city noises and the brainwashing TV
The fascist pop stations and the government lies
Superior is just inferior in disguise
I don't need you to grind me down

Spank me O God for I have sinned
But trying to talk to you is like pissing in the wind
You never listen to what I say or sing
You have the power but I can say anything
I don't need you to grind me down
'cause I can do it myself
