"Motown Junk" lyrics - MANIC STREET PREACHERS

(...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
