U Stink Lyrics

Verse 1 (Fern)

• We see the pretty boys, we see the barbie girls,
• Climbing their way up the charts!
• We see the videos, where all the fashion plates,
• Lip-sync their way to your hearts!
• Well, no offense to them, and no offense to you,
• Don't take it personally!
• But when it comes to rock, and when it comes to roll,
• Don't need to sell it 'cause it's born to be free! (Free freeee!)

Chorus

• Don't want nothing but the music!
• Don't need the shiny limousine!
• Don't want nothing but the music!
• Love it or leave it,
• The music is all I need!

Verse 2 (Fern)

• The TV Interviews, the glossy magazines,
• We see the stars' every move!
• The Grammys piling up, the money pouring in,
• But tell me what does it prove?
• 'Cause real rock 'n' roll, is all about your soul,
• So hey, when push comes to shove!
• Forget about the fluff, the music is enough,
• I'm stickin' with the stuff that dreams are made of,
• IT'S LOVE!

Chorus

• Don't want nothing but the music!
• Don't need no People Magazine!
• Don't want nothing but the music!
• I'm pledging allegiance,
• The music is all I need!
• Nothing but the music!

Backstreet Boys Lyrics

Verse 1 (Fern)

• Climbing their way up the charts!'
• We see the videos, where all the fashion plates,
• Lip-sync their way to your hearts!
• Well, no offense to them, and no offense to you,
• Don't take it personally!'

Verse 2 (Brian)

• Yeah yeah yeah yeah
• Yeah once upon a time, turned on the radio,
• When I was feeling so down! (When I was feeling so down)

(Howie)

• And all at once I heard, the future calling out,
• My heart filled up with the sound! (With the sound)

(Kevin)

• Might play a stadium, or audience of one,
• But one thing I know is true (But one thing I know is true)

(A.J.)

• No matter who you are, the music is the star,
• And we're just here to let the music shine through! (Shine through)

Chorus

• Nothing but the music! (The music, the music, the music)
• Nothing but the music!
