Kick My Ass

Garbage · Other Songs - Garbage

I'm so sorry, you had to kick my ass
You said I ruined your life
I didn't mean to do that

I had to untangle where we were intwined
You were strangling me
Were you breathing so fine

The jam I was in when things weren't working out
Led me to the brunt of your swinging bout

I'm so sorry, I regret everything
But what can I do
To have you take back that swing

I'm so sorry, a scuffle ensued
But things are much better now
I guess thanks to you

The jam I was in when things weren't working out
Led me to the brunt of your swinging bout

I'm so sorry you had to pull my hair
I had to take care of business
There was a lot of business giving there.

Kick My Ass

Garbage's "Kick My Ass" stands as a defining track from their 1995 debut album, blending alternative rock with electronic textures to create a signature sound that propelled the band to global prominence. The song features the distinctive vocal delivery of Shirley Manson, whose emotive and commanding presence anchors the track's intense energy. Produced by Butch Vig, the recording captures the raw power and experimental edge characteristic of the mid-90s alternative scene, while establishing a template for future indie and pop-rock collaborations. Its enduring popularity reflects the group's ability to merge punk aggression with danceable rhythms, cementing their legacy as pioneers of the genre.
