Lyrics Rough-Up the Groove - Kristeen Young, Dave Grohl, Tony Visconti

Rough-Up the Groove

Schooled Southside beneath the King of Beasts, back in PigFat, St. Louis
The air was gravid with heat, sex, and hops
They made the beer, drank it when they got off
«This is what you gotta do.»
But, I just want to scratch the groove
No
No
No
Pick a partner
Pick a dom-icile
My choice was to pick them all
Lying, flying, like men blankly do
«Girl, yer in the wrong neighborhood.»
«This is what you gotta do.»
But, I don’t care
I’ll smash the groove
«This is what you gotta do now.»
«This is what you gotta do now.»
This is what you must do, but I’m going to rough up the groove
Tat-for-tit, you always gave me shit
'cuz I DID NOT DRESS LIKE A FEMINIST
Now you’ve had your so important baby
Who will grow to do graphics for Old Navy
«This is what you gotta do.»
But, not me
Please
I’ll pound the groove
«This is what you gotta do now.»
«This is what you gotta do now.»
This is what you must do, but I’m going to rough-up the groove
«This is what you gotta do now.»
«This is what you gotta do now.»
It’s only what you must do 'cause it’s what you agree to
No
No
Burn your brain right through
These are the things
These are the things you have to do
Run your heart right through
These are the things
These are the things you have to do
«This is what you gotta do now.»
«This is what you gotta do now.»
This is what you’re supposed to do, but come with me and fill the groove
«This is what you gotta do now.»
«This is what you gotta do now.»
It’s only what you must do 'cause it’s what you agree to
No
No
