Immodium (Breed) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care, care if I'm old
I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind
I don't mind, I don't mind, and I don't have a mind
Get away, get away, get away
Get away, get away, way' from your home
I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid
I'm afraid, fraid' ,ghost

[Chorus]
Even if you have, even if you need
I don't even care, we don't have to breed
We could plant a house, we could build a tree
We could have it all, we could have all three
She said, she said
She said, she said
She said, she said
She said, she said

[Verse 2]
I don't mind, I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, care, care if I'm old
I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind
I don't mind, mind, don't have a mind
Get away, get away, get away
Get away,get away, away from your home
I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid
Afraid, afraid, ghost
[Chorus]
Even if you have, even if you need
I don't even care, we can have a tree
We could plant a house, we could build a tree
We can have it all, we can have all three
She said, she said
She said, she said
She said, she said
She said, she said

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Even if you have, even if you need
I don't even care, we don't have to breed
We could plant a house, we could build a tree
We can have it all, we could have all three
She said, she said
She said, she said
She said, she said
She said, she said
She said, good

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
