Medication (Acoustic)Garbage

Songwriter: Garbage

Producer: Garbage

[Verse 1]
I don't need an education
I learnt all I need from you
They've got me on some medication
My point of balance was askew
It keeps my temperature from rising
My blood is pumping through my veins

[Chorus]
Somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing at myself
'Cause nobody gives a damn about me
Or anybody else

[Verse 2]
I wear myself out in the morning
You're asleep when I get home
Now please, don't call me self-defending
You know, it cuts me to the bone
Though it's really not surprising
I hold a force I can't contain

[Chorus]
Somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing at myself
'Cause nobody gives a damn about me
Or anybody else

[Bridge]
And still you call me co-dependent
Somehow you've laid the blame on me
And still you call me co-dependent
Somehow you've laid the blame on me

[Chorus]
Somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing at myself
I've got to make a point these days
To extricate myself
Somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing at myself
'Cause nobody gives a damn about me
Or anybody else

[Outro]
Still you call me co-dependent
Somehow you've laid the blame on me
Still you call me co-dependent
Somehow you've laid the blame on me
Somehow you lay the blame on me
Somehow you lay the blame on me

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.
