Bleed

About Bleed

"Bleed for Me" (B-side "Life Sentence") was the sixth single by punk rock band Dead Kennedys. It was released in July 1982 on Alternative Tentacles. The music is cold and intimidating, and the lyrics describe kidnappings and torture carried out by a secret police (presumably the Central Intelligence Agency). There follows a bridge, then the music becomes light and almost cheerful as the lyrics describe US foreign policy as utilizing murderous dictatorships to secure economic concessions that favor American corporations. "Bleed for Me" also plays in the background of the Dead Kennedys' song "Kinky Sex (Makes the World Go 'Round)", in which an aide for the Reagan White House arranges World War III on the phone with Margaret Thatcher, who moans erotically at every new atrocity; this track may be a reference to the Thatchergate tape. The song was also performed for the film Urgh! A Music War, with a different bridge about Rosalynn Carter. During live performances with the Melvins in the 9/11-Afghanistan-Iraq War era, Jello substituted "Muslims" for "Russians" in the verse "So what's ten million dead, if it's keeping out the Russians?" more »

I'm feeling crossed 
I take it inside 
Burn up the pain 
My thoughts are strange 
Just like the things 
I used to love 
Just like the tree that fell 
I heard it 
If art is still inside 
I feel it 

[Chorus]
I want to bleed 
Show the world all that I have inside 
I want to scream 
Let the blood flow that keeps me alive 

Take all these strings 
They call my veins 
Wrap them around 
Every fucking thing 

Presence of people 
Not for me 
Well I must remain in tune 
Forever 
My love is music 
I will marry melody 

[Chorus]

Won't you let me take you 
For a ride 
You can stop the world 
Try to change my mind 
Won't you let me show you 
How it feels 
You can stop the world 
But you won't change me 

I need music 
I need music 
I need music to set me free 
To let me bleed
