Lyrics Mott the Hoople

Mott the Hoople

Violence

I'm a missing link, poolroom stink, I can't talk

(Well that's too bad)

What's goin' on, somethings wrong, I can't work

Can't go to school, the teacher's a fool, the preacher's a jerk

(Well that's such a drag)

Got nothin' to do, street corner blues, and nowhere to walk

Violence, violence

It's the only thing that'll make you see sense

Violence, violence

It's the only thing that'll make you see sense

Gotta fight, nothings right, livin' nowhere

(That's so sad)

Watch out for the gun, snake on the run, hide in my hair

You keep your mouth shut, or you'll get cut, I like to scare

(Bet you're so mad)

I'm a battery louse, a superstar mouse, I don't care

Get off my back or I'll attack

And I don't owe you nothin'

(Okay)

Head for your hole, you're sick and you're old

And I'm here to tell you somethin'

Violence, violence

It's the only thing that'll make you see sense

Violence, violence

It's the only thing that'll make you see sense

Violence, violence

It's the only thing that'll make you see sense

Violence, violence

It's the only thing that'll make you see sense

Violence, violence

It's the only thing that'll make you see sense

Violence, violence

It's the only thing that'll make you see sense

Violence, violence

It's the only thing that'll make you see sense

Violence, violence

It's the only thing that'll make you see sense

Violence, violence
