Publicity Seeking Rockers Songtext
von The Ark

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?
