Issues - The Slits

You’ve got issues of child abuse

I’ve got them too, but not like you

I’ve choose to choose to discontinue

The cycle produced by child abuse

Why you do, why you excuse?

How come is you that got issues?

Why you do, why you excuse?

How come is you that got issues?

You’ve got issues of child abuse

I’ve got them too, but I’ve learned to choose

I refuse any more abuse

I made use of what I choose

A demon who’s my issues

Issues of child abuse

A demon who’s my issues

Issues of child abuse

Your stepfather, abuser

Your mother, a user

And you, a loser

I’ve got issues, I know too

The difference between me and you

I step up to bear my confront

While you choose to be a cunt

You keep issue inside

Bubbling dark side of id

'Til you try to be the same thing

And the vicious cycle begins

You’ve got issues of child abuse

I’ve got them too, but not like you

I’ve choose to choose to discontinue

The cycle produced by child abuse

Why you do, why you excuse?

How come is you that got issues?

Why you do, why you excuse?

How come is you that got issues?

So you’ve got issues of child abuse

What do you choose, win or lose?

To the cycle of child abuse

Accused or refused, so child abuse

Continues to got issues

Abuse, issues

Continues to got issues

Abuse, issues

Your stepfather abuser

Your mother, a user

And you, a loser

I’ve got them too

But really the difference

I use them more as a reference

'Cause I’ve got ambition, you don’t got

All you do is scheme a plot

You don’t know lies or truth

Make me old and I’m a …

You don’t know what’s wrong or right

There’s no peace, always fight

You want ladie’s garments

Use me for appurtenance

… my life … a future to build

You just want a quick fill

You greed for money, consumed

Our life together, doomed

You don’t have it, but collect shoes

Getting new hairdos

You’ve got issues of child abuse

I’ve got them too, but not like you

I’ve choose to choose to discontinue

The cycle produced by child abuse

You’ve been produced by child abuse

But what do we choose, what do we induce?

To be reduced or reproduce

More abuse, while it continues

Well, you’ve got issues!
