[Verse 1: Shirley Manson]
Stop those voices in your head
They eat away your will
You've everything you need
Hate the way they make you weak
They bring you to your knees
And steal your power away

[Chorus: Shirley Manson & Brody Dalle]
Girls talk shit when you're backed up against it
Don't believe in a word that they hear
And you can't do what it is that you want
Without some little bitch in your ear
And girls talk shit, making no bones about it
When you're something that they don't understand
When they see that you got caught with your pants down
When they see you got caught with your pants down

[Verse 2: Brody Dalle]
Buy into the things they say
You lose your common sense
You've everything you need
Love to bring you to your knees
And watch you as you bleed
And give your power away

[Chorus: Shirley Manson & Brody Dalle]
Girls talk shit when you're backed up against it
Don't believe in a word that they hear
And you can't do what it is that you want
Without some little bitch in your ear
And girls talk shit, making no bones about it
When you're something that they don't understand
And you can't do what it is that you want
Without some little bitch in your ear
Girls talk shit, making no bones about it
When you're something that they don't understand
And you can't do what it is that you want
Without some little bitch in your ear
Girls talk shit when your confidence crashes
Girls talk shit when it falls to the floor
Girls talk shit when you're biting your nails down
To the quick, ’cause you feel insecure
Girls talk shit, making no bones about it
Girls talk shit, making no bones about it
And you can't do what it is that you want
Without some little bitch in your ear

[Outro]
In your ear
In your ear

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.
