Do It For The Kids Lyrics
Went too fast I'm out of luck and I don't even give a fuck
I wanna be your manchild
Let's all go it hog-wild
She said I'll see you later
I always gravitate to her
Let's all meet at the station
No heavy concentration
We could all hook up there
The kids are all alright there
Should we go out later
Showtime for strangers
Dontcha give a fuck anymore now
She's givin up on you now
Do it for the kids they say
It ain't about you anyway
I say we're all grown up now
And sex ain't so safe now
It's all in the groove they say
Doesn't matter anyway
Keep me runnin' like a deer in the headlights
All for nothing I thought
Just the ransom I had bought
About the day I tried to tame her
Never tried to blame her
Just a game that I had bought
Let's all meet at the station
No heavy concentration
The kids are all alright there
Went too fast I'm out of luck and I don't even give a fuck
Should we go (should we go) out later
(Went too fast I'm out of luck and I don't even give a fuck)
Showtime (showtime) for strangers
(Went too fast I'm out of luck and I don't even give a fuck)
Let's all go it hog-wild
She said I'll see you later
I always gravitate to her
Let's all meet at the station
No heavy concentration
We could all hook up there
The kids are all alright there
Showtime for strangers
She's givin up on you now
Do it for the kids they say
It ain't about you anyway
And sex ain't so safe now
It's all in the groove they say
Doesn't matter anyway
All for nothing I thought
Just the ransom I had bought
Never tried to blame her
Just a game that I had bought
No heavy concentration
The kids are all alright there
(Went too fast I'm out of luck and I don't even give a fuck)
Showtime (showtime) for strangers
(Went too fast I'm out of luck and I don't even give a fuck)

Scott Weiland on 6/7/04 at Warfeild before song played "This song is about sex.."
@Babooshka That's exactly what I thought while I was reading it (Im spanish) About he loving his wife and having to think about the kids. but never is about him, even if sex ain´t that safe now, he goes too fast and well, ya know, when you have sex with someone you don't know... and then the signfication I see it's he has to keep on with the kids, now, the band, he says let's go a little later to the stranger, to fuck her and give a show...

i kinda took it as divorced parents falling in love again.
Okay, I see both the sex and divorce theories to an extent. This is what I got out of the song...
The first verse is the initial "hookup". That's pretty damn obvious. Second verse is the girl not giving a fuck about him anymore and getting ready to leave him.
"I say we're all grown up now And sex ain't so safe now" To me this sounds like the couple had an accidental child, which would make sense with the "Went to fast I'm out of luck and I don't even give a fuck" part, meaning he went too fast in the relationship or whatever (or just got straight down to sex and wasn't wearing a condom or whatever, idk) and they conceived a child and even though she wants to leave him, everyone is saying "do it for the kids".
I see this as another divorce type song. He seems to be saying that people want them to stay together, but maybe a lot of those people are saying just "do it for the kids." So the divorce is never about him and her it's all about keeping the children safe.
Hmmm...doesn't seem like it's about sex at all.
Sex? Wow, I really never would have thought that. Did he really say that? I want to hear it for myself. It really does seem like a divorce type song.
This song is awesome-best one on the CD in my opinion.
The chorus is the best part of this song, it fucking rules!
Wow im agreeing with someone on the internet, but yes the chorus owns
The best part is at the end when Slash starts doublepicking over the Chorus. First time I heard I was on my bike and i nerly crashed. It just stopped the world around me.
Corto Maltese I was a bit better... I actually smashed my car to the very first line of it.. I've turned loud my cd, switched to this song, hit the gas... and stopped on a concrete pole that I didn't notice... pretty "went too fast, I'm out of luck.." but it's a 96 VW Gols so.. I don't even give a fuck" :) :P
