[Verse 1]
I was angry when I met you
I think I'm angry still
We can try to talk it over
If you say you'll help me out

[Refrain]
Don't worry, baby
(Don't worry, baby)
No need to fight
Don't worry, baby
(Don't worry, baby)
We'll be all right

[Pre-Chorus]
This is the noise that keeps me awake
My head explodes, and my body aches

[Chorus]
Push it, make the beats go harder
Push it, make the beats go harder

[Verse 2]
I'm sorry that I hurt you
Please don't ask me why
I want to see you happy
I want to see you shine

[Refrain]
Don't worry, baby
(Don't worry, baby)
Don't be uptight
Don't worry, baby
(Don't worry, baby)
We'll stay up all night

[Pre-Chorus]
This is the noise that keeps me awake
My head explodes, and my body aches

[Chorus]
Push it, make the beats go harder
Push it, make the beats go harder

[Bridge]
C'mon push it, you can do it
C'mon prove it, nothing to it
C'mon use it, let's get through it
C'mon push it, you can do it

[Refrain]
Don't worry, baby
(Don't worry, baby)
Don't be uptight
Don't worry, baby
(Don't worry, baby)
We'll stay up all night

[Pre-Chorus]
This is the noise that keeps me awake
My head explodes, and my body aches

[Chorus]
Push it, make the beats go harder
(This is the noise that keeps me awake)
Push it, make the beats go harder
(My head explodes, and my body aches)
Push it, make the beats go harder
(This is the noise that keeps me awake)
Push it, make the beats go harder
(My head explodes, and my body aches)

[Outro]
Don't worry, baby
We'll be all right
Don't worry, baby
We'll be all right

Push it
Push it
Push it
Push it
Push it

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.
