Motivation

Lyrics

[Intro: Axl Rose] On the bass guitar Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Thomas Eugene Stinson [Verse 1: Tommy Stinson] Yeah, you ought to see yourself Through the eyes of anyone ever knew you when you were more useful There used to be a place For anyone who wanted to come play around your backdoor Now they're sneakin' through your cat hole [Verse 2: Tommy Stinson] Yeah, you got a lot of nerve It ought to be illegal, always takin' up so much space They never see you come They'll only see you leavin' 'cause you always got your hands full (Ah-ah-ah-ah) You even steal all the shadows (Ah-ah) [Chorus: Tommy Stinson] Ain't the lies, ain't the freaks Ain't your mother But what's your motivation? It ain't the wine ain't the creeps Ain't your father You tell me, what's your motivation? [Verse 3: Tommy Stinson] Yeah, you said you knew me when I was easier to be around, knew me like we were really friends You let me wear your hat When all I really wanted was to know why you wake up (Ah-ah-ah-ah) Come on and tell me why you wake up (Ah-ah) [Chorus: Tommy Stinson] Ain't the lies, ain't the freaks Ain't your mother But what's your motivation? Ain't the wine ain't the creeps Ain't your father You tell me, what's your motivation? [Post-Chorus: Tommy Stinson] I always see you without one Yeah, what's your motivation? I always see you without it Tell me, what's your motivation? [Guitar Solo: Tommy Stinson] [?] [Verse 4: Tommy Stinson] I saw your monkeycat He's dancin' on the corner with a brother and his moonshine Mh-hm, buzzin' like a beehive [Chorus: Tommy Stinson] Ain't the lies, ain't the freaks Ain't your mother What's your motivation? Oh, ain't the wine, ain't the freak Ain't your father Tell me, what's your motiva— Ain't the lies, ain't the freaks Ain't your mother But what's your motivation? Ain't the wine, ain't the freaks Ain't your daddy, baby Tell me, what's your motivation? [Outro: Tommy Stinson & Axl Rose] Your motivation Your motivation Oh, your motiva— Your motivation Your motivation Aw, your motivation Thank you, goodnight Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Tommy Stinson
