"My Shit's Fucked Up" is a song by Warren Zevon from his 2000 album, Life'll Kill Ya.
About the Song
"My Shit's Fucked Up" is a mournful lament to the ageing process and the inevitable decay that accompanies it. The song describes the narrator visiting a doctor, where he receives unpleasant news: "your shit's fucked up". This song plays on Zevon's lifelong phobia of doctors and continues with the rather morbid theme shown by other songs on the album (such as "Life'll Kill Ya" and "Don't Let Us Get Sick"). Although "My Shit's Fucked Up" is an explicit track, the album it was on did not receive a parental advisory label.

Well, I went to the doctor
I said, "I'm feeling kind of rough"
"Let me break it to you, son"
"Your 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--
It won't work now."
I had a dream
Ah, shucks, oh, well
Now it's all fucked up
It's shot to hell
Yeah, yeah, my shit's fucked up
It has to happen to the best of us
The rich folks suffer like the rest of us
It'll happen to you
That amazing grace
Sort of passed you by
You wake up every day
And you start to cry
Yeah, you want to die
But you just can't quit
Let me break it on down:
It's the fucked up shit
