Warren Zevon - My Shit's Fucked Up (+ Interview) video free download

Later... With Jools Holland (13 May 2000)

"My Shit's Fucked Up" is a song written by Warren Zevon, released in 2000, on his album "Life'll Kill Ya". It is a mournful lament to the ageing process and the inevitable decay that accompanies it. The song describes the narrator visiting a doctor, where he receives unpleasant news: "your shit's fucked up". This song plays on Zevon's lifelong phobia of doctors and continues with the rather morbid theme shown by other songs on the album (such as "Life'll Kill Ya" and "Don't Let Us Get Sick"). Although "My Shit's Fucked Up" is an explicit track, the "Life'll Kill Ya" did not receive a parental advisory label.

Lyrics:

Well, I went to the doctor

I said, "I'm feeling kind of rough"

"Let me break it to you, son

Your shit's fucked up"

I said, "My shit's fucked up?

I don't see how"

He said, "The shit that used to work

Won't work now"

I had a dream

Ah shucks, oh well

Now it's all fucked up

It's shot to hell

Yeah, my shit's fucked up

It has to happen to the best of us

And the rich folks suffer like the rest of us

It'll happen to you

That Amazing Grace

Sort of passed you by

You wake up every day

And you start to cry

Yeah you wanna to die

But you just can't quit

Let me break it on down

That's the fucked up shit

Yeah my shit's fucked up

Fucked up
