Sex
Mötley Crüe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never really had a reason
Never really cared
We're the dogs and the heathans, yeah
Never tell you what you're thinking
Let me tell you why you're here
Everybody wants some, what the hell
Everybody needs some, everybody yell
Oh (oh) , no (no)
Don't need no lovin', no respect

'cause it's all about the
Oh (oh) yeah (yeah)
What gets me off is a little neglect
'cause it's all about the sex (sex!)
It's all about the
Well she don't need her treatment
Or a scientific cure
I'm the one that you resist
You can call it what you want to
It doesnt matter anyway
With the worst of intentions
Oh no, yeah
Everybody wants some, what the hell
Everybody needs some, everybody yell
Oh (oh) , no (no)
Don't need no lovin', no respect

The lyrics of Mötley Crüe's "Sex" are straight-forward and explicit. The song is a celebration of indulgence and pleasure, with the band proclaiming that "it's all about the sex". The opening lines of the song set the tone, with the lead singer stating that he has "never really had a reason" and "never really cared". The lyrics suggest a hedonistic lifestyle with no consideration for the consequences. The band seems to revel in their rebellious and wild ways, with lines like "We're the dogs and the heathens".
The chorus of the song is a call to action, with the band urging the listener to join in on the fun: "Everybody wants some, what the hell, Everybody needs some, everybody yell". The lyrics are repetitive and catchy, making it a perfect song for a rowdy party or a night out.
Overall, the song is an unapologetic celebration of pleasure and lust. While it may not be the most profound song ever written, it is a perfect example of Mötley Crüe's brand of raunchy, over-the-top rock.

I stopped caring for metal music because the lyricism never seemed to change. Just talking about the same depressive stuff, over and over again. It seemed to be about who played harder and louder than who could explore their creativity deeper.
Rap, real rap, gave me exactly what I was missing in metal music.
I will compare the first verse from El-P's Tasmanian Pain Coaster with the first verse of this song:
Bumped into this kid I knew, he often would walk strange
So I ignored the blood on his laces so this cat could save face
The dunks and the gaze stayed in an off gray haze
And the lump in his pocket talked to the ox that he clutched safeSo I saluted him there, waiting for the A
Trapped on the empty platform without the option to escape
Gave him the standard, yo, what up man, how you landin'?
And the hypnotized response was no surprise, I maintainYeah, we all do, that's the standardized refrain but on some
Really real man, good to see you, really, what the dealy deal?
Oops, fuck, screwed the pooch, asked too much, knew the truth
On the train now, a caboose in his brain now, no recluse80 blocks to uptown spot, destination vocal booth
Metro-card like, you get what you pay for stupid, no excuse
He pulled his hoody off his cabbage rugged practical
And began to fancy the words I mistakenly jostled looseThe stogie he brazenly lit where he sit looked legit
But when the flame touched to the tip I could smell it's of another nit
He leaned his head back and inhaled the newpie dip and said
"The whole design got my mind cryin' if I'm lyin' I'm dyin', shit"
Now: Kickstart my Heart
When I get high I get high on speed
Top fuel funny car's A drug for me
My heart, my heart
Kick start my heart
Always got the cops Coming after me
Custom built bike doing 103
My heart, my heart
Kick start my heart.
I'm not going to shit on your tastes, but there is a difference between the lyrical content put forth by these artists. To act as if people simply listen to rap music because they are stupid is folly in my opinion. You can, however, shit on Lil Wayne, Drake, Future, Tyga, Jay Z, Kanye, Rick Ross, etc. They, unfortunately, are the most well known rappers, and coincidentally the worst as well.
