Motley Crue - Primal Scream Lyrics






Broke dick dog
My head slung low
Tail knocked in the dirt

Time and time of being told
Trash is all I'm worth

When I was just a young boy
Had to take a little grief
Now that I'm much older
Don't put your shit on me

[Pre-Chorus]
Grab it and shake
Reach down scrape it
You just got to

[Chorus]
Primal scream & shout
Let that mother out
You just gotta say "hey"
Primal scream & shout
Oooh tear it out
You just gotta say

Janou said
Meters are red
Blow a neurotic fuse Show a little
A little pain
Unlock a lotta truth

When daddy was a young man
His home was living hell
Mama tried to be so perfect
Now her mind's a padded cell, ya

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus with adlib]

[Solo]

Hey man, get out of my face
I deal with my problems at my own pace
With your screwed-down, anti-human views
Deal with the pressures by playing the blues
If you wanna live life on your own terms
You gotta be willing to crash and burn

[Chorus with adlib]

Scream shout
Come on come on come on
Scream shout

Motley Crue Primal Scream Comments
  1. v.... r....

    What kind of person does that kind of deceptive shit

  2. T.... K....

    Just because Grunge & Seattle basically owned the airwaves at this period in The Crües career, this song, which fucking shreds, was all but overlooked.

  3. J.... S....

    Great tune!!!!! One of my Crüe favorites. Is it me or does Mick Mars get little to nothing on his guitar solos and cámara shots on just about every Crüe video.

  4. C.... R....

    Brilliant mosh out track, love it

  5. W.... S....

    Fork Yeah...luv this chit.

  6. S.... H....

    My favourite crew song. Absolute class.

  7. R.... V....

    I been a motley crew fan since 81 i still have there first record. I even have my first concert ticks back in 88 i have lots of there stuff to this day

  8. X.... 1....

    I guess back in the 80's that they secretly inspired bands like red hot chili peppers.. faith no more.. Jane addiction etc...

  9. N.... L....

    The singer can sing and the guitar player can play but Tommy Lee is kind of awkward as a drummer and the songs are terrible.

  10. A.... D....

    3:13 Nikki looks so fucking hot holy shit

  11. M.... J....

    This video deserves more views.
    And I need a time machine. I want to live my 20 years in the 80's

  12. T.... M....

    This song brings back alot of great memories

  13. G.... M....

    The Crue is the band "Poison" wanted to be.

  14. f.... 2....

    This is a heavy as anything on Crue 1994. I call bullshit on people that say Vince couldnt do the heavier stuff. You can definitely hear the seed of MC 94 in this

  15. C.... R....

    I like how no one has mentioned the dirt. It’s because they didn’t put this song in the movie.

  16. R.... E....

    💖💖💖

  17. T.... ....

    YouTube put this under heavy metal music this for sure isn't heavy metal like hair metal sure lol

  18. s.... b....

    Best crue song in my own opinion. Aside from maybe the whole first album lol.

    s.... b....

    Which "first" album"? "Shout at the Devil" is the second LP.

    s.... b....

    Green Manelishi what do you mean which first album? Too fast for love is Motley Crue’s first album. I didn’t say anything about Shout at the devil and yes I know it’s the second album. Been a Crue fan since I was 8. What’s your point? I’m not sure I understand.

    s.... b....

    @sha broussard To some folks, obviously not you, Shout is the first LP because it's the one they first heard.

    s.... b....

    Green Manelishi ok I see what you meant. It didn’t make sense at first.

  19. D.... C....

    Big e. Let's rock and roll and drink moonshine all night long.

  20. A.... F....

    🖤killer bass line🖤

  21. A.... F....

    🖤Sixx🖤

  22. D.... C....

    Lizard vs a 🐍.

  23. C.... W....

    In shape. Rad as shit.i hope ticket holders get a show in 2020

  24. B.... P....

    What era is this

  25. G.... B....

    this is where the video ruins the song...... GREAT song till you watch the video.... this is when Crue was at their very best.

  26. J.... F....

    i have always been huge CRUE FAN BUT IVE NEVER SEEN THEM LIVE MAYBE THIS YEAR I WILL WHO KNOWS

    J.... F....

    My boy & I are going to the show in Miami \m/ \m/

  27. J.... W....

    I think this song has the best beat to it then any song they do if fucking kicks

  28. E.... J....

    I always thought this song was the Crüe's best along with Dr Feelgood. Unfortunately in '91 music was changing and depressing grunge was imminent. 😣

  29. E.... ....

    my favourite crue song! <3

  30. D.... H....

    I'm confessing I had 1 stillborn baby girl Drefts twin sister. She's my angel in heaven.

  31. j.... s....

    Really makes you wonder how they would have sounded in 93/94 if they took a break after Feelgood. I’m sure they would have reinvented themselves like they did on every album but damn what could have been. I’m a HUGE Crabby fan as well but I often wonder what if ya know? Really hope Vince can get back in gear. He looked amazing here. Us Crüeheads are pulling for him.

  32. K.... B....

    Kiss me Nikki Sixx!!! Bad ass band!👍👍

  33. G.... i....

    One of their better ones.

  34. h.... l....

    Never been a fan of Vince Neil's singing, guy just isn't a particularly good singer, never has been. But I gotta admit, he actually sounds pretty darn good here, better than in other MC songs I've heard.

  35. s.... b....

    i was born in 88 defo wish i hadve been born earlier to see what real music was like live love motley crue

  36. D.... M....

    Love this song ❤️

  37. D.... H....

    Love this ❤️

  38. K.... D....

    me again... welcome back boys🤘🤘

  39. A.... S....

    Dammmn middle jam hahah got into Motley Crue in 5th grade, was the only metal head in the family

  40. o.... ....

    hope you play this for your 2020 tour ill be there...

  41. T.... G....

    What the hell happen to Vince.

    T.... G....

    drugs, alcohol and waaay too many trips to McDonald's

  42. B.... B....

    This is one badass song. I first heard this song recently and i fell inlove with it. This is one of my favorite songs from motley crue. I love the way the drum beat and those guitars sound. Fucking badass. I'm glad i grew up in the 80s and 90s to enjoy all the good music that was played. I love and miss those days.

  43. D.... M....

    3:44 Mick Mars best guitar riffs ever.

  44. P.... C....

    If they tour again? I hope this is exactly how they open the show!! Mötley Crüe 2020🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

  45. M.... S....

    Love the song, though the clip is really clever -motley guys are actually hard to see clearly, why? wasn't that the time when they haven't look anyhow 'glam' or 'rock' and haven't want to be seen at all?

  46. S.... L....

    Vince has had an amazing tummy tuck and Lipo. Good for you guys. Nikki still the hottest. Hi

    S.... L....

    Are you stupid? Vince was fine AF in the 90's. 🙄

  47. A.... C....

    Once again greatest at it's best. Some of the so called music coming out today is just awful. It's mostly computers doing the music today.

  48. M.... D....

    Always about a good time did alot of fun and stupied stuff with Motley playing good hype music lmao

  49. C.... ....

    The 80’s was so much fun as a teenager. Going to see major concerts for under $25 a ticket. Jamming out to your favorite metal band while jamming quarters into arcade games. Going to house parties. When Mtv was cool.

  50. �.... �....

    Еееее.. 💪🤘✌️

  51. M.... M....

    Very cool Rockin🎧🎤🎛🎸🎹📣📢🎵🎼🔊🥁🎙🎶 www.motleymidget.com

  52. K.... K....

    This is literally the last great time of Motley Crue.

    K.... K....

    I dunno, _Saints of Los Angeles_ was pretty damn great.

    K.... K....

    @TheHappySpaceman With the exception of that one.

  53. J.... S....

    Tear Crescent City Ca apart VEVO!!!

  54. P.... A....

    Mick Mars has always been the loudest, rawest & rudest guitar player since he made himself Mötley Crüe's only guitarist.. o;)

  55. r.... l....

    They Def took a cue from the Wicked Sensation video for this one...

  56. C.... S....

    At 1:38 Nikki is damn sexy as always!! 🔥💋

  57. T.... D....

    Fucking badass song!!

  58. J.... B....

    They were onto something here. Shame they imploded after this. At the time it was as current as anything else and had they kept going in this direction they'd have been just fine and would've easily weathered the grunge storm.

  59. J.... P....

    This song is amazing. And Primal Scream is in my head

  60. a.... m....

    Nobody:
    Babies at 3 a.m:

  61. K.... K....

    Motley Crue rocks!!!!! 🎸🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘

    K.... K....

    KissArmy4Life! KissArmy4Life! So does your username!!!

  62. L.... T....

    I remember when this came out.. I was like heck yeah.. Then they broke up...I really believe they would have kept relevant if they would have just kept in this direction.. CRUE FOREVER!!!

  63. A.... L....

    Vince Neil you are So Yummy yum .....

    A.... L....

    Vince looked hot!

  64. B.... R....

    Great video. They were basically at the top of their game in the early 90s. They are so sexy in this video. They definitely don't look like that anymore. But it's hard to be an Adonis forever. My big stomach would agree. The lyrics aren't exactly Byronic poetry, but the guitar and drum work are fantastic.

  65. C.... J....

    Motley Crue is so cool they get 69 dislikes. Thank the haters

  66. A.... R....

    Una de Las banda's mas chida de la epoca Buenos tiempos Simon cabrones 👍✌️

  67. L.... A....

    Mick's guitar playing... 🎸🙌🔥 Damn!
    And Nikki... 😋💕 Yum!

  68. F.... ....

    How does this have so few views. But the garbage rock that is out now has millions

  69. S.... N....

    Who the hell disliked the Crues best ever song?!

    S.... N....

    Just lobotomized people

  70. C.... t....

    Great music!!

  71. b.... ....

    I am a huge fan of the first two albums. Then after that they went waaaaay to commercial. But, this song kicks ass! It's heavy!

  72. t.... ....

    This makes me want to grow my hair long

  73. D.... R....

    i love the audio but this video lighting is just like game of thrones , i cannot see enough vince neil and tommy leee

    D.... R....

    DENISE RODGERS or Nikki 😊

  74. D.... Q....

    4:18 WAAAW!

  75. D.... ....

    Great vocal power by Vince too bad it was wasted with poorly dated rhythm . Lost that great Hollywood sound

  76. M.... S....

    This song was very much in line with the grunge scene and all that was happening in Seattle and elsewhere at the time. It showed that Motley were so different from all the fake bands that followed them like Warrant, Poison, Winger and Cinderella. It's why I 100% believe that if Vince and Motley had not parted company, the band would've still been playing 15,000 seat arenas even at the height of Nirvana. There was substance to the Crue's music that those hair bands couldn't match. It's because for every song like "Girls, Girls, Girls," Motley wrote a song like this one or "Wild Side" or "Danger" or "Fight For Your Rights."

    M.... S....

    Another key is the video. Again, very much in line with the era and how music was changing. These guys were not going to be some band that just celebrated the 1980's and all the shit people were sick of by then. The music was growing up.

    M.... S....

    If you wanna live life on your own termsYou gotta be willing to CRASH and burn......fucking amazing lyric.

  77. Z.... C....

    .............

  78. R.... l....

    Yeah back when music was music! !!!! Love you guy's 👍💞💖😘

    R.... l....

    They Rocked the world before the Brittany Beibers sucked the world. They rocked the 80s. I live to tell. Best decade to be alive. Decade of decadence for us all. Good times.

  79. M.... Z....

    01:07 riff ripped of from Still of the night

  80. S.... b....

    What a kick ass song and great vid. A great drummer, a great lead guitarist, the mastermind of Nikki Sixx and a great front man. Don’t tell me Vince can’t sing, he tears it up! Primal Scream!

    S.... b....

    Vince at his best.

  81. R.... ....

    I love this song so much! I never got to go to Crue concert and I wish I had. I just never had the opportunity I guess.🙁

  82. J.... L....

    From 00:53 thru 1:03 is NOT VINCE...

  83. C.... K....

    I have my Crue list for when I take that long drive back home to Red Lake, MN. These songs get me through the five hour drive :)
