Bitch Went Nuts Lyrics

The bitch went nuts
She stabbed my basketball
And the speakers to my stereo
She called me cunt
But nothing prepared me for
What I found when I came home

Oh and I
Make my own bed
I lie in it
You lie in yours (you lie, you lie in yours)
But they want more
They're at my door
With torches
Please leave me alone
You know just shut it just shut it just shut it

The bitch went nuts
She photoshopped my face (shopped his face)
On to every boy who'd done her wrong
Then she burned them telepathically
Onto the brains of all her embittered drones

Oh now
Now they want more
They're at my door
With torches, scores and scores and scores
To settle with themselves
Who would have thought
I'd scorned them all
They've got a doll of me
They're burning, they're burning, they're burnin
Their own memories

Why do they all know? (Go!)

The bitch went nuts y'all
But everyone said she might
Oh, holy fuckin' shit
Seriously now
Now they want more
they're at my door
with torches, scores and scores
You would have thought
I'd scorned them all
They've got a doll of me
They're burnin'

Why do they all know? (Go!)

I love the laugh when he says "holy fucking shit!"

Ben said at a concert in Kansas City on Oct 22, 2008 that the album version is about (pretty obviously) a guy who doesn't believe he could be at fault for the breakup. The fake version is about a young Republican lawyer. At this point the crowd booed, but Ben assured us that we would feel sorry for him by the end of the song. This young lawyer takes a date he doesn't know very well to the law firm's Christmas party. While there, the date does a line of coke. Within minutes, she starts spilling all her radical, flaming leftist liberal ideologies, ruining the young lawyer's career.

I really like both versions actually.

I wouldn't mind hearing the fake version.

Is it just me, or does the song feel incomplete without the pre-track bit on the album? It took me a good ten minute to realise there was 30 seconds between Free Coffee and Bitch Went Nuts.

Does anyone else like the fake version of this song better?

Cover art for Bitch Went Nuts lyrics by Ben Folds

Absolutely. The fake version is sooo good!

Fake version? What fake version?

sorry about the incorrect title, I'm in the process of getting it deleted :]

Before the release of his Way To Normal Album, Ben and his band recorded fake tracks to the album because they had time to kill. Ben had a friend "leak" the tracks on fan sites under the pretense that those were actual tracks that were to appear on the album. Later the fake tracks were added as b-sides and bonus tracks on the album. Many of the tracks have similar names to the official ones on the album. In his latest tour (I saw him last Saturday) he performed many of the "fake" songs as well as the official ones. :)
