Tenement Kid - Primal Scream

I don’t know why, I feel like I do

Rats in my head, stones in my shoes

I can’t explain the way that I feel

It hovers like a ghost inside of me and I know it’s real

I don’t know why, I don’t know why

I don’t know why, I don’t know why

Slum education, tenement kid

He knew the score, kept it well hid

Mother was damaged, father was too

Handed down the generations, inheritance blues

I don’t know why, I don’t know why

I don’t know why, I don’t know why

Something is bpoken, always unspoken

Please, cut me open, let me be this

Something is bpoken, always unspoken

Please, cut me open, let me be this

I don’t know why (?)

Grabbed like a memory with a broken wind

I don’t know why (?)

Grabbed like a memory with a broken wind

I don’t know why, I don’t know why, I don’t know why

I don’t know why, I don’t know why

I don’t know why, I don’t know why

Some find it easy to find their way home

Some always troubled in some kind of storm

Some always wounded, injured and wronged

Crying and screaming from coast to coast closed like a fist

I don’t know why, I don’t know why

I don’t know why, I don’t know why
