[Verse 1]
Once, when I was a girl
I could have given you
A ride for you money

Oh, but how times have changed
Although you do look cute
In those red cowboy boots

No, you don't mess around
But you are just a kid
You don't know what it takes

[Verse 2]
No one can stop you now
Anymore than they can tell
The wind not to blow

Who's going to run you now?
With the riders in the dirt
Back on Aztalan turf

I can't tell you what to do
You're free as a bird
Go do what you've got to do

[Chorus]
Don't you worry boy
Life will come and find you
You're going to blow their minds
Show them all a thing or two
Don't you worry boy
Life will come and find you
You're going to blow their minds
Show them all a thing or two

[Outro]
All the good in this life wish for yourself
All the good in this life wish for yourself
All the good in this life wish for yourself
All the good in this life wish for yourself

Garbage

Garbage is a Scottish-American Alternative rock band, formed April 8th 1994. Once producer Butch Vig decided to break out of the rock he had been producing ever since Nirvana’s Nevermind, he got together with his college/studio partners Duke Erikson and Steve Marker to write some demos that would basically be remixes in song form. Once someone commented that “it sounds like garbage”, Vig decided to embrace the name. Then they invited Scottish singer Shirley Manson after seeing her on MTV, and the band’s sound was completed with sly, dark and snarky lyrics delivered in a sultry way.

The band’s eponymous debut album was a surprise hit upon release in August 1995, selling more than 4 million copies worldwide. Follow-up Version 2.0 (1998) was equally successful, even receiving a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year. Then the band recorded “The World Is Not Enough” to the eponymous James Bond movie, and the record industry started to bring the band down.

Beautiful Garbage (2001) was barely promoted due to a release too close to the 9/11 attacks, and underperformed at the charts. Fourth album Bleed Like Me (2005) had a troubled production where bandmembers were frequently arguing, and eventually the album’s tour was cut short and Garbage disbanded for 2 years, only regrouped in 2007 to record new tracks for greatest hits compilation Absolute Garbage.
