Rotten Soul

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 satisfied

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 what you gonna do)

No-one's gonna pick you up

And save you from this town

(Yeah what you gonna do)

Twenty four hours around the clock

That's the way you gotta play

(Yeah what you gonna do)

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

(Yeah what you 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
