Violent Femmes - Confessions Lyrics






People worry, what are they worrying about today?
People worry, what are they worrying about today?
Seems like there's a good reason to worry, worry, worry
Seems like there's a damn good reason to worry, worry, worry
I'd sit around, I'd listen to your story if I wasn't in such a hurry, hurry, hurry

And I'm so lonely, I just don't think I can take it any more
And I'm so lonely, I just don't know what to do
And I'm so lonely, feel like I'm gonna crawl away and die
And I'm so lonely, feel like I'm gonna hack it apart
And I'm so lonely, feel like I'm gonna crawl away and die
And I'm so lonely, feel like I'm gonna hack it apart
I'm gonna hack, hack, hack, hack it apart

Seems like there's a good reason to be lonely, lonely, lonely
I gotta get someone or somebody or something to make me feel less lonely, lonely, lonely
I know I could do it, I know I could do it if I wasn't so lonely, lonely, lonely

Have we got an army? We'll teach you how to act like a man
Have we got an army? Man, I mean to tell you we can fight
Have we got an army? And we're gonna do it tonight
Do, do, do, do it tonight
Yeah, they're gonna pay, pay, pay, pay it tonight
Do, do, do, do it tonight...

People worry, what are they worrying about today? People worry
And you see, I've learned my lessons
And I don't even want to hear about your confessions

    I understand people that don't get the femmes, but then again I'm a primus fan... I'd love to see them live, but doubt they come to lousy-ana too often. I think they kinda fall into the same category as Radiohead, really influential and original, but if you don't get it you just don't get it. Rock on femmes!

  14. m.... ....

    My older brother gave this tape to me for my 3rd grade graduation in 1995. I would listen to it while riding my rollerblades. I loved it but I was not ready to really appreciate it!

  17. N.... S....

    Favorite track on one of my favorite albums

    That 50s-ish guitar solo at 2:55. Ear candy.

    K.... J....

    +Kellie Johnson Blonde, brunette... ?

  32. R.... C....

    Anybody notice how the  beginning of this song matches the exact same intro from ballad of a thin man by bob dylan? Perhaps a unintended subconscious usage of the same intro?

  33. K.... P....

    I'd sit around, I'd listen to your story if I wasn't in such a hurry, hurry, hurry!!!!!!!
    Violent Femmes are pure genious and most underrated bands ever. Well, somehow I am glad they aren't commercial: I get more for myself!

    Let's make confessions. I'll start: I might've been a bit of a music snob a few years back and am sorry for ignoring this band in the past.

    When the revolution starts and the people take to the streets knowing true change is on the verge of occuring - let this song ring through out the long dark night! Let those spending too much time confessing finally learn their fucking lessons. And all you worriers out there - well, just keep right on worrying yourselves away. Those of you who've learned your lessons - we've got a lot to do.
