  • I thought I knew all it took to bother you
    Every word I said was true, that you'll see
    How could it be I'm the only one who sees
    Your rehearsed insanity? Yeah

    I still refused all the methods you abuse
    It's alright if you're confused, let me be
    I've been around all the pawns you've gagged and bound
    They'll come back and knock you down and I'll be free

    I've taken all and I've endured
    One day it all will fade, I'm sure

    I don't owe you anything, I don't owe you anything
    I don't owe you anything, I don't owe you anything

    I had no hand in your ever-desperate plan
    It returns and when it lands, words are due
    I should've known we were better off alone
    I looked in and I was shown, you were too

    I've taken all and I've endured
    One day it all will fade, I'm sure

    I don't owe you anything, I don't owe you anything
    I don't owe you anything, I don't owe you anything
    I don't owe you anything, I don't owe you anything
    I don't owe you anything, I don't owe you anything

    I'll stick around, I'll stick around
    Learn from all that came from it
    I'll stick around, I'll stick around
    Learn from all that came from it
    I'll stick around, I'll stick around
    Learn from all that came from it
    I'll stick around, I'll stick around
    Learn from all that came from it

  • Ron from Redlands CaliforniaDave and gwen should hook up
  • Mark from Cornwall, United KingdomOriginally called 'f--k Around'
  • Robert from Los Angeles, Castop talking about nirvana on foos. they are different bands.
  • Suzi from Arcadia, CaNirvana..those were the days. I love this album
  • Jacob from Atlanta, GaThis is very negative song about violation/deprivation. I love the furious attack of drums at the beggining and of course the chorus shines with repetitiveness.
  • Matt from Millbrae, Cano, dave is the only one to play on this song. the only sound made on the entire album by someone other than dave grohl is a guitar part on "X-Static" done by Greg Dulli. Everything else is Dave and Dave alone.
  • E from Vancouver, Canadathis song is good, but the part where he yells 'I don't owe you anything' kinda ruins it.
  • Matt from Millbrae, CaI think also they performed this on Saturday Night Live in late 95 or early 96. Dave still has the long hair from his Nirvana days during the performance.
  • John from Levittown, NyGreg Dulli (Afghan Whigs) plays guitar on this song. He and Grohl were both members of the Backbeat Band, which performed Betles songs for the movie soundtrack.
  • Fungus from Here, ScotlandEasily the foos best song, it comes from their deut album, which is almost 100% a dave grohl solo album, buy it.
  • Matt from Millbrae, CaWow Dave's really got a thing aganist Courtney. More power to ya Dave.
  • Kurt from Downers Grove, IlI love it! Another song bashing Courtney Love!
