My Shit's Fucked Up (Warren Zevon Cover)

My take on Zevon's song from the "Life'll Kill Ya" album. I took some pretty major liberties with my take on it, so apologies to Warren.

I hadn't played 12 string in a long, long time so it's rough. But I just like the reality of hitting record and letting it fly, and I hope you enjoy it.


'Well, I went to the doctor
Said, "i'm feeling kind of rough..."
"Let me break it to you son,
you're shit's fucked up!"
I said, "My shit's fucked up?!
Well, I don't see how!"
He said, "The shit that used to work,
Well, it won't work now!"

I had a dream; aw shucks, oh well
Now its all fucked up, its shot to hell
yea-eah, my shit's fucked up
It has to happen to the best of us
The rich folk suffer like the rest of us
It'll happen to you.

Well amazing grace
Has done passed you by
and you wake up every day
and you want to die
But you just can't quit

Let me break it on down
Its some fucked up shit

I like this version too..makes it feel all the more approrpriate

[AndrewTheTechie]

I dig the guitar rendition for sure...your lyrics just don't work for me. A bit too twangy for what the original song was.

I still enjoyed it overall.

I like it man, but I could help but keep expecting you to bust into "i'm a cowboy...on a steel horse I ride" lol
