Rotton Soul lyrics

Hey hey we`re from New York City

Down town where the life is kill

Nobody`s gonna pick you up

`Cos they`re kicking you down ta hell

We live in a perma-crisis

Hope the landlord leaves ya alone



Don`t bother goin` out anymore

`Cos I don`t like anyone

Where it comes from I don`t know

Just living here ya get a rot-rotten soul

Yeah it`s rock `n` roll

All the little kiddies are satiesfied

Livin` in the toilets, where they reside

Sittin` on the corner just gettin` reaction

Cuttin` all the deals just to get in the action

Where it comes from, I don`t know

Just livin` here you get a rot-rotten soul



I got a rotten soul

Gimme, gimme, gimme

New York City punk

I got a rotten soul



Pumped up out on the skids breakin` laws

That hold ya down

(Yeah whatcha gonna do)

No-one`s gonna pick you up

And save you from this town

(Yeah whatcha gonna do)

Twenty four hours around the clock

That`s the way you gotta play

(Yeah whatcha gonna do)

Never gonna get a break and I hope it stays the way

(Yeah whatcha gonna do)

Where it comes from I don`t know

Just living here you get a rot-rotten soul



I got a rotten soul

Yeah - rotten

I got a rotten soul



I`m sick of all the little babies

Just whining about their stupid lives

And all the cosmic millionaires

Tellin` us we`re gonna die

Hey Geffen, look at me

I`m rockin` every single night

Criticized and crucify me `cause

I`m ready for another fight

Where it comes from I don`t know

Just livin` here you get a rot-rotten soul

I got a rotten soul
