Motorhead - Overnight Sensation lyrics

rate me

I know you're only talking

To keep the silence out

Maybe you should listen and leave some room for doubt

You're just handing out bad reputations

Why don't you shut your mouth

chorus:

Overnight sensation,

All mouth and no soul

The bad boys sold your franchise

And stole your Rock 'n' Roll

I know I ain't no beauty

But I know who I am

I ain't running for sheriff

I ain't that kind of man

To live outside the law , my dear

You gotta give a damn

chorus:

Overnight sensation

You be shot full of holes

The bad boys stole your franchise

And stole your Rock 'n' Roll

You know you put the hurt on me

You do it all the same

Us guys ain't s'pose to hurt at all

Our faces fit the frame

You know I'm only talking

To keep you here with me

Maybe you should listen

How hard could it be

Good manners don't cost nothing

But that ain't what you want from me

chorus:

Overnight sensation

Turn your hard heart cold

The bad boys sold your franchise

And stole your Rock 'n' Roll

You're just looking for someone

To take your spirit home

The bad boys sold your franchise, baby

And stole your Rock 'n' Roll
