Overwhelming Lyrics
It can come from out of nowhere,
hit you when you're safe and warm.
Take it easy, my star your time is gonna come,
your time is gonna come.
Yeah, you got those crazy blue eyes.
You got those crazy blues.
All those pretty smiles,
I can see them laughing at you.
Your time is gonna come, your time is gonna come.
I don't wanna be your punching bag,
your complacent little princess all tragic and sad.
I'm not gonna let you overwhelm me anymore.
Yeah, you say you got this bad thing, you say you've got it bad.
You have broken every heart of every friend you've ever had.
Yeah, the time is gonna come when all your friends just go away.
I wonder why you stick around, sometimes I wish you would leave.
You say you love me forever, then you spit on me.
Your time is gonna come,
I swear your time is gonna come.
I don't want to be your whipping boy.
Yes, your happy little loser, someone you can ignore.
I'm not gonna let you overwhelm me anymore.
I'm not gonna let you hurt me anymore.
I'm not gonna let you hit me anymore.
No, I will not let you kick me anymore.
I will not let you overwhelm me anymore.
It can come from out of nowhere.
I don't want to be your simple saving grace,
just another little victim with a happy face.
Someday, someday soon, somebody's gonna come,
I hope they do this to you.
I'm not gonna let you overwhelm me.
I will not let you hurt me anymore.
No, I will not let you hit me anymore.
I will not let you twist me anymore.
No, I will not let you turn me inside out.
hit you when you're safe and warm.
Take it easy, my star your time is gonna come,
your time is gonna come.
You got those crazy blues.
All those pretty smiles,
I can see them laughing at you.
Your time is gonna come, your time is gonna come.
your complacent little princess all tragic and sad.
I'm not gonna let you overwhelm me anymore.
Yeah, you say you got this bad thing, you say you've got it bad.
You have broken every heart of every friend you've ever had.
Yeah, the time is gonna come when all your friends just go away.
I wonder why you stick around, sometimes I wish you would leave.
You say you love me forever, then you spit on me.
Your time is gonna come,
I swear your time is gonna come.
Yes, your happy little loser, someone you can ignore.
I'm not gonna let you overwhelm me anymore.
I'm not gonna let you hurt me anymore.
I'm not gonna let you hit me anymore.
No, I will not let you kick me anymore.
I will not let you overwhelm me anymore.
I don't want to be your simple saving grace,
just another little victim with a happy face.
Someday, someday soon, somebody's gonna come,
I hope they do this to you.
I will not let you hurt me anymore.
No, I will not let you hit me anymore.
I will not let you twist me anymore.
No, I will not let you turn me inside out.

This one's really great. Altough I like the acoustic version better than the one that made it to the album. My favourite lines:

Without even hearing this song the lyrics are so distinctively Everclear. My favourite lines:
You have broken every heart of every friend you've ever had. Yeah, the time is gonna come when all your friends just go away
this is the ultimate i dont give a shit about you song
Art was making a solo album at one point buthe decided to take it and share it with his band and make it an Everclear album instead. This was one of his singles off of that. I think I actually saw a video for this as an Art song.
A great 'Up Yours' song :0)
This song is basically being fed up with someone and all the shit they put you through. They have no idea how they bad they hurt you and one day it's all going to hit them and make them feel horrible. It's also about taking a stand and not letting people step all over you and treat you like shit
I love this song. It's not so much an "up yours" song as it is a "hey, what comes around goes around. You're gonna get it one day" song. The way it's sung gives it more of a feel like he's not even leaving... "I wonder why you stick around Sometimes I wish you would leave" or he doesn't WANT to leave, and he still loves this person. The whole thing obviously is referring to someone who's been abusing him in some way, so I think its great when he says:
"You got those crazy blue eyes Yeah, you got those crazy blues"
Most people think that "those crazy blues" refers to the eyes again, but I think that it's referring to manic depression. This is such a beautiful song, and so easy to relate to.
This song is about physical and emotional abuse and it is an anthem to anybody that has been abused and decided to rip that person out of their life!
Definitely my favorite song on the album, I always forget about it...then come back across it every once in a while and it just moves me.
Dedicated to my ex-girlfriend, an emotional and physically violent monster.
