Rotten to the Core Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Have you realized rock stars
Always seem to lie so much?
John Lydon once said he cared
But he never really gave a fuck
Said he'd use the money he made
So that people have somewhere to go
Now he lives in the USA
And snorts coke after the show

[Verse 2]
Why is it that rock stars
Always seem to lie so much?
Joe Strummer once said he cared
But he never really gave a fuck
Said he'd use the money he made
To set up a radio station
And make the airwaves full of something more than shit
Have you noticed we're still waiting?

[Verse 3]
You must realize rock stars
Always seem to lie so much
Some will always tell you that they care
But they don't really give a fuck
Still you suckers don't ever learn
That rock stars deal in money not truth
It's good business to exploit you
Just look at Lydon or Strummer for proof
[Outro]
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fu–

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
