Mogwai, Iggy Pop - Punk Rock (Come On Die Young) lyrics

[Mogwai, Iggy Pop - Punk Rock Come On Die Young lyrics]

Well, I'll tell you about punk rock:
'punk rock' is a word
Used by dilettantes and, uh, and
Uh heartless manipulators about music
That takes up the energies and
The bodies and the
Hearts and the souls and the time and
The minds of young men who
Give what they have to
It and give everything they have to it and
It's a- it's a term that's based on contempt
It's a term that's based on
Fashion, style, elitism, satanism
And everything that's rotten
About rock'n'roll
I don't know Johnny Rotten but I'm sure
I'm sure he puts as much blood and sweat
Into what he does as Sigmund Freud did
You see, what sounds to you like a big
Load of trashy old noise
Is in fact the brilliant music
Of a genius: myself
And that music is so powerful that it's
Quite beyond my control and, uh, when I'm
In the grips of it I don't feel
Pleasure and I don't feel pain
Either physically or emotionally
Do you understand what I'm talking about?
Have you ever felt like that? When you just
When you just couldn't feel anything and
You didn't want to either
You know? Like that? Do you
Understand what I'm saying, sir?
