“Primal Scream” is a song by the American hard rock band Mötley Crüe. The single was released on the 1991 album Decade of Decadence 81-91, which was the band’s first of many greatest hits compilations. The song charted at No. 63 on Billboard Hot 100 and No. 21 on the Mainstream rock charts. Decade of Decadence was released on October 19, 1991, and “Primal Scream” was one of three newly recorded songs for the album, the other two being “Angela” and “Anarchy in the U.K.”
The uncensored version of a “Primal Scream” music video contained full-frontal nudity of a female dancing at the end, but that scene was edited for heavy rotation when shown on television. The song was said by Nikki Sixx himself in an AskSixx session on Twitter in October 2015, to be about Arthur Janov’s 1970 book The Primal Scream. Primal Therapy: A Cure For Neurosis, as well as his own childhood.
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
Grab it and shake it
Reach down scrape it
You just got to
Scream and shout
Let that mother out
You just gotta say hey
Primal scream and shout
Ooh tear it out
You just gotta say
Janou said
“The Meters are red
Gonna blow a neurotic fuse”
Show a little
A little pain
Unlock a lotta truth
When daddy was a young man
His home was livin hell
Mama tried to be so perfect
Now her minds a padded cell, ya
Grab it and shake it
Reach down scrape it
You just got to
Scream and shout
Tear that circuit down
You just gotta say hey, alright
Primal scream and shout
Strike that tower down
You just gotta say, kick it
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
Primal scream and shout
Tear that circuit down
You just gotta say, hey
Primal scream and shout
Strike that tower down
You just gotta say kick it
Scream shout come on, come on, come on
Scream shout
