Lyrics Issues - The Slits

Issues

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!
