Publicity Seeking Rockers

Publicity seeking rockers

What are they up to today?

Publicity seeking rockers

Will they claim that they are gay?

Some works had true potential

They could pin us to the floor

But all that rabble-rousing razzmatazz

We've seen it all before

I've been stunned, I've been shunned

And I haven't seen the sun for a long, long time

When will I see it again?

I've been lost, I've been tossed

I've been paying a quite considerable cost

For my brief moment of fame

But now I'm up and ready again

Another fifteen minutes of shame

To be used and produced

Publicity seeking rockers

They used to be regular blokes

Publicity seeking rockers

Now they say they're hooked on coke

Some shows were worth attending

They could kill us with a song

But all that rabble-rousing razzmatazz

Oh, send them back to where they belong

I've been in, I've been out

I've been 'round and about

I've been a teenage shout until it got outta hand

I've been slabbed, I've been stabbed

I've been recently half-heartedly rehabbed

It's time to start up the band

And I will look a new kind of man

With a leather-clad bullshitter band

To abuse and confuse

Publicity seeking rockers

Publicity seeking rockers

Say have they lost all their nerve?

Publicity seeking rockers

Will they get what they deserve?

Some words had truthful vengeance

Then the ceiling flew away

But all that rabble-rousing razzmatazz

Can't someone make them go away?
