Lyrics
Motown Junk
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Revolution, revolution, revolution
Never ever wanted to be with you
The only thing you gave me was the boredom I suffocate in
Ooh ooh ooh
Adrift in cheap dreams don't stop the rain
Numbed out in piss towns just wanna dig their graves
Ooh ooh ooh
Motown, Motown junk
I laughed when Lennon got shot
Twenty-one years of living and nothing means anything to me
Motown junk a lifetime of slavery
Songs of love echo underclass betrayal
Stops your heart beating for 168 seconds
Stops your brain thinking for 168 seconds
Motown junk
Motown junk
Motown junk
Motown junk
I don't want cos I just get
All you slut heroes offer is a fear of the future
Ooh ooh ooh
Past made useless and I'm dying now
Communal tyranny a jail that bleeds our wrists
Ooh ooh ooh
Motown, Motown junk
I laughed when Lennon got shot
Twenty-one years of living and nothing means anything to me
Motown Junk a lifetime of slavery
Songs of love echo underclass betrayal
Stops your heart beating for 168 seconds
Stops your brain thinking for 168 seconds
Motown Junk
Motown Junk
Motown Junk
Motown Junk
Motown Junk a lifetime of slavery
Songs of love echo underclass betrayal
Stops your heart beating for 168 seconds
Stops your brain thinking for 168 seconds
Motown Junk
Motown Junk
Motown Junk
Motown Junk
Junka junka junka junka junka
We live in urban hell
We destroy rock and roll
