Ain't nobody's business but my own
X2
Well one of these days I'm gonna wake up crazy
I'll grab a gun and kill my baby
It ain't nobody's business but my own
X2
Well I got mono and I got AIDS
I shoot cocaine into my legs
It ain't nobody's business but my own
X2
One of these days I'm gonna have clean socks if I don't spend all of my spare change on rocks
It ain't nobody's business but my own
It ain't nobody's business but my own
One of these days I'm gonna get really drunk and nobody else will so I'm gonna bring the fuck
It ain't nobody's business but my own
It ain't nobody's business but my own
The song "Ain't Nobody's Business" by Wingnut Dishwashers Union is an anthem of individuality and personal autonomy. The repeated lines, "Well it ain't nobody's goddamn business how my baby treats me/ Ain't nobody's business but my own," express that nobody has the right to judge or interfere with someone's personal choices or relationships, even if they may seem unconventional or unhealthy to others. The song acknowledges that people may lead messy, complicated lives, with struggles like addiction or illness, but these are ultimately private matters that only concern the person themselves.
However, the last two verses deviate from this message of defiance and self-determination, hinting at the singer's own instability and vulnerability. The line "Well one of these days I'm gonna wake up crazy/ I'll grab a gun and kill my baby" subverts the previous message of personal agency, as the singer is admitting that their mental and emotional instability could lead them to harm someone else. The following verses reveal more struggles, like drug addiction and homelessness, but the song still maintains that these are nobody's business but the singer's own.
Overall, "Ain't Nobody's Business" is a complex song that simultaneously celebrates individuality and highlights the dangers of unchecked personal turmoil.
