Gimme Back My Brain Lyrics

Yeah!
Buuh!

I wanna destroy everything I know
I wanna start again from scratch
I've done so many things that I'll regret
But I don't feel guilty and I won't look back

I'm sick and tired of going nowhere
I need a new source of raw power
Yeah!

My feet are my limousine and they take me through the shakes down on Pessimism Street
Sometimes I feel so dirty and cheap
But I'm scared of giving up and being a psychedelic peace creep

I don't need you to keep me up all night
It's out of my head, yeah!
I wanna wake up with my head and die

So gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme back my brain
Gimme, gimme, gimme, back my brain
Gimme, gimme, gimme, back my brain
Gimme, gimme, gimme, come back my brain

- Guitar solo -

Give me back my brain

- Bass solo -

Mercy!

I've been this way for far too long
It's out of my head, yeah!
Don't wanna die so close to home
No!

Gimme, gimme, gimme, back my brain
Gimme, gimme, gimme, back my brain
Gimme, gimme, gimme, back my brain
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme,
gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme,
back my brain
Gimme, gimme, gimme, back my brain
Gimme, gimme, gimme, back my brain
Give me back my brain

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Almost like an introduction to the (then)-'new' Therapy?. This was written when the group were falling back in love with classic rock, and starting to write more upbeat songs, and this pretty much sums up the 'Shameless' album.
