about

I was at a party and noticed a whole lot of drunken gossip going on around me. I tried to be all enlightened and not engage in it, but damn, it was kind of addictive and fun and empowering, whilst also cheap and degrading all at the same time. I wrote this song the next day. It's a big sing-a-long favourite at gigs.

lyrics

If I start dissin’ you, please don’t be offended.
It’s just a habit and it makes me feel good.
If I take the piss out of you well, it’s nothing personal.
It’s just a hunger that I need to feed.

I go to a party with all my friends.
We bitch our little hearts out in sweet revenge. You see,
I got this anger and nowhere to throw it.
And you look so together and you look like you know it.

Chorus
I try to squash these feelings down.
But sometimes they won’t be denied.
I could protest when the bitching comes around.
But then I’d be called a hippie and I’d be crucified.
So I just bitch.
That’s what I do, I bitch.
Just like you I bitch.
Come on come on come on come on let’s all bitch.

I love the feeling of importance that I get
when I make some cynical remark.
I demonstrate my intellect and my great inner strength
by ripping someone else’s dreams apart.

I got this feeling that it’s kind of wrong.
But oh the short term satisfaction.
And it really makes me feel like I belong.
And like I’ve done something without taking action.

Chorus

Are you ready? Here we go:
Well she said this and he did that. Did you see her dress? It makes her look fat.
She did him and he did her and that’s not all it gets worse.
Let’s rip her to bits let put him down. Come on it’s the easiest game in town. Did
you see that film? I just can’t believe, he’s the worst actor I’ve ever seen. He
used to be good ‘til he got all the fame. The same thing happened to what’s his
name? I just can’t believe. It just goes to show. It was on the cards. You know I
told you so. It’s the government. It’s the gst. I just love to bitch come on join me
let’s bitch.

Chorus
