JPF Home Page Forums Lyric and MP3 Feedback MP3 Feedback Forum I Give Up

With all the arguing going on over on the General Discussion forum in response to Couchgrouch's satire about climate change, some folks have suggested that it creates a toxic environment. Maybe it does, but it did inspire this creation, which may or may not be a good thing LOL. It does have one benefit though. Instead of getting involved in those arguments, I can just refer people to the song, saving myself and them a lot of time . And folks (you know who you are), if I think you're crazy doesn't mean I don't like you.

Now I've got that out of my system, I can get back to writing about love, heartbreak and anthropomorphized animals.

As usual, I suggest listening to get the whole vibe of the song, rather than reading the lyric, especially as there are some improvised spoken parts that are not actually in the lyric, but here it is....


I GIVE UP
(Words & Music by Gavin Sinclair)

I went into a bar last night
Just to have a quiet beer but
This guy who was sitting there next to me
Well, he wouldn’t stop bending my ear about
How global warming was a pack of lies
His face was turning quite red
"A socialist conspiracy, open your eyes"
I didn't - I rolled them instead
And said...

I give up, I just give up
No point in explaining, it'll bounce off your brain and
I could do it all again until I go insane and
It isn't worth the pain, and that's why I'm saying
I give up. I just give up.

He said, "I didn't evolve from no monkey
You gotta be kidding."
I said, "You might have a point there, friend
It's clear that you never did," and
He seemed happy that he'd won and I thought he might be done
But no, I could not have been wronger
Six thousand years the earth has been here
But I’d swear he’d been talking for longer

I give up, I just give up
No point in explaining, it'll bounce off your brain and
I could do it all again until I go insane and
It isn't worth the pain, and that's why I'm saying
I give up. I just give up.

Send the Mexicans home. It'll stop all the raping
Just not Jose till he’s finished landscaping
My yard. If he goes near her, you can bet, my wife’ll
Shoot his ass with one of her rifles
Healthcare - another socialist plot
Best president in history's the one we've got
No political correctness back in my day
And folks didn't walk around being gay
Religion in schools was fine if it was mine
And we knew what to do with your kind
I started to speak but he took off his shoes
Put them over his ears, all his buddies did too
And shouted "Fake News"
Oh, I give up

I give up, I just give up
No point in explaining, it'll bounce off your brain and
I could do it all again until I go insane and
It isn't worth the pain, and that's why I'm saying
I give up. I just give up.
