Gimme Gimme Gimme Lyrics

Gimme gimme gimme gimme
I need more, I need more
Gimme gimme gimme gimme
Don't ask what for, don't ask what for

Sitting here I'm a loaded gun
Waiting to go off
I've got nothing to do
But shoot my mouth off

Gimme gimme gimme gimme
I need more, I need more
Gimme gimme gimme gimme
Don't ask what for, don't ask what for

I know the world's got problems
I've got problems of my own
Not the kind that can't be solved
With an atom bomb

Gimme gimme gimme gimme
I need more, I need more
Gimme gimme gimme gimme
Don't ask what for, don't ask what for

You know I'm gonna go out
Get something for my head
If I keep on doing this
I'm gonna end up dead

Gimme gimme gimme gimme
I need more, I need more
Gimme gimme gimme gimme
Don't ask what for, don't ask what for

Gimme gimme gimme gimme
I need more, I need more
Gimme gimme gimme gimme
Don't ask what for, don't ask what for

its all about drugs, its not supposed to sound good, its supposed to sound like desperation,

i think that complaining about the lyrics is pretty useless, considering maynard didn't even write them. go complain on the black flag section if you have a problem.

First post! Maynard sounds like he has phlem in his throat! That's all I got to say!

Don't know what the hell pumkinhed is trying to say. I think it's more about frustration and anxiety than just desparation, the Black Flag version was anyway. It's great how they can take a song that's supposed to be about a personal issue, and in the context of eMOTIVe, give it that political edge.

this song is bone chilling...

From the context of this album, It appears to me that Maynard is playing the role of the American government. After 5 tracks of anti-war /anti-govt, the line "I need more, I need more" can all too easily be heard as "I need war, I need war" (or any combination of the two). When interpreted in this way, the rest of the song falls into place (Don't ask why we REALLY went to Vietnam/Iraq, etc...)

its not about drugs... its about a person who hates war and is fighting in it... and how stupid war is "I know the world's got problems I've got problems of my own Not the kind that can't be solved With an atom bomb " this song is kind of suicidal also... it kicks ass

Cover art for Gimme Gimme Gimme lyrics by A Perfect Circle

Its about americans, Someone who has problems wants everything for himself, or about are government for example I know the world's got problems I've got problems of my own Not the kind that can't be solved With an atom bomb. We know everyone has problems but we dont care we want everything for ourself

does anybody else know that this is originally a black flag song? i find it strange how it would be covered, but it seems obvious to me that this song is about a person who doesn't understand why their country is trying to fix the problems of the rest of the world when the citizens within have problems of their own
