Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Want to put me away, say that I'm not fit
Call me a pervert, 'cause I'm always running wild
Say that I'm an animal, an abortion as a child
You'll never tame me of the things that I do
I'll always be a pervert and I'll always hate you
I'll always be an animal, work myself into a fit
I'm gonna run the red light, I'm never slowing down
I'll jump, I'll scream, I'll hollar, I'll spit in your eye
I'll break the law, I'll never stop until the day I die
I don't care what you say, 'cause I am I
You'll never tame me, the things I do
I'll always be a pervert and I'll always hate you
Always running wild, sleep with sleazy women
I don't care what you say, I don't care
(spoken word - gg saying various shit during the bridge)
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! The things I do
I'll always be a pervert and I'll always hate you
I'll always be an animal, work into a fit
I sleep with sleazy women and I smell like shit
I'll always be a pervert and I'll always hate you
Say that I'm mental, say that I'm sick
Want to put me away, that I'm not fit
Call me a pervert, 'cause I'm running wild
Say that I'm an animal, an abortion as a child
You'll never tame me of the things I do
I'll always be a pervert and I'll always hate you
I'll always be an animal, work into a fit
I sleep with sleazy women and I smell like shit

you've put up some great quality GG Allin albums, much appreciated
Brandon Hendrix
According to Al Mead (who played guitar on some tracks, bass, wrote some of the music, and I think played all the leads) this was recorded on a 4 track cassette recorder (1 track for guitar/drums, 1 track for bass, 1 track for vocals, and 1 track for guitar overdubs). And thus a classic was born. Easily one of GG's best, if not THE best.
Mead even said GG was pretty straight and focused during the recording of this, despite his wildman rep. And even made up some of the lyrics on the fly.
