Civil War lyrics - Guns N' Roses
What we've got here is failure to communicate
Some men, you just can't reach
So, you get what we had here, last week
Which is the way he wants it
Well, he gets it
And I don't like it any more than you men
Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before
Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before
My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
An' the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
An' all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands, time can't deny
An' are washed away by your genocide
An' history hides the lies of our civil wars
D'you wear a black armband when they shot the man
Who said peace could last forever?
An' in my first memories, they shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall in D.C. to remind us all
That you can't trust freedom when it's not in your hands
When everybody's fightin' for their promised land
And I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich, while it buries the poor
Your power hungry, sellin' soldiers in a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh? I don't need your civil war
Ooh, no, no, no, no, no, no
Look at the shoes you're filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
An' I don't want to hear no more
My hands are tied
For all, I've seen has changed my mind
But still, the wars go on, as the years go by
With no love of God or human rights
An' all these dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross of homicide
And history bears the scars of our civil wars
We practice selective annihilation
Of mayors and government officials
For example, to create a vacuum
Then we fill that vacuum
As popular war advances
Peace is closer
I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich, while it buries the poor
Your power hungry, sellin' soldiers in a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh? I don't need your civil war
No no no no no no no no no no no no
I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
Your power hungry, sellin' soldiers in a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh? I don't need your civil war
No no no no no no no no no no, no, no
I don't need one more war
Ooh, I don't need one more war
No no no, no whoa, no whoa
What's so civil 'bout war anyway?
14 Years lyrics - Guns N' Roses
I try and feel the sunshine, you bring the rain
You try and hold me down with your complaints
You cry and moan and complain, you whine an tear
Up to my neck in sorrow the touch you bring
You just don't step inside to, to 14 years
So hard to keep my own head, that's what I say and you know
I've been the beggar, I've played the thief
I was the dog they all tried to beat
But it's been 14 years of silence
It's been 14 years of pain
It's been 14 years that are gone forever and I'll never have again
Your stupid girlfriends tell you, that I'm to blame
Well, they're all used up has-beens out of the game
This time I'll have the last word, you hear what I say?
I tried to see it your way, it won't work today
You just don't step inside to, to 14 years
So hard to keep my own head, that's what I say, you know
I've been the dealer hangin' on your street
I was the dog they all tried to beat
But it's been 14 years of silence
It's been 14 years of pain
It's been 14 years that are gone forever and I'll never have again
Bullshit and contemplation, gossip's their trade
If they knew half the real truth, what would they say?
Well I'm past the point of concern, it's time to play
These last four years of madness sure put me straight
You don't get back 14 years in just one day
So hard to keep my own head, just go away, you know
Just like a hooker, she said, "Nothin's for free"
Oh, I tried to see it your way
I tried to see it your way
Yesterdays lyrics - Guns N' Roses
Yesterday, there was so many things I was never told
Now that I'm starting to learn, I feel I'm growing old
'Cause yesterday's got nothing for me
Old pictures that I'll always see
Time just fades the pages in my book of memories
Prayers in my pocket, and no hand in destiny
I'll keep on movin' along with no time to plant my feet
'Cause yesterday's got nothing for me
Old pictures that I'll always see
Some things could be better if we'd all just let them be
Ooh, yesterday's got nothing for me
Yesterday's got nothing for me
Got nothing for me, ooh, yeah
Yesterday, there were so many things I was never shown
Suddenly, this time I found I'm on the streets and I'm all alone
Yesterday's got nothing for me
Old pictures that I'll always see
I ain't got time to reminisce old novelties
Ooh, yesterday's got nothing for me
Yesterday's, ooh, got nothing for me
Yesterday's got nothing for me
Yesterday
Yesterday
Knockin' On Heaven's Door lyrics - Guns N' Roses
(originally by Bob Dylan)
Ooh, ooh
Hey
Mama, take this badge from me
I can't use it anymore
It's gettin' dark, too dark to see
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, hey, hey, hey hey yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, ooh
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, ooh-oh yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, ayy hey yeah
Ooh-oh yeah, oh yeah, aw
Mama, put my guns in the ground (Ooh)
I can't shoot them anymore (Ooh)
That cold black cloud is comin' down (Ooh)
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door (Ooh)
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, hey, hey, hey hey yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, ooh yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, ayy hey yeah
Ooh
You just better start sniffing your own rank subjugation, Jack
Because it's just you against your tattered libido
The bank and the mortician, forever, man
And it wouldn't be luck if you could get out of life alive
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, hey, hey, hey hey yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, ooh yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, ooh, no, no, no, whoa
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, no, no, no, whoa, no
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, ooh yeah
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, yeah, oh
Get In The Ring lyrics - Guns N' Roses
Yeah, c'mon
Why do you look at me, when you hate me?
Why should I look at you, when you make me hate you too?
I sense a smell of retribution in the air
I don't even understand why the fuck you even care
And I don't need your jealousy, yeah
Why drag me down in your misery? (Yeah)
And when you stare, you don't think I feel it
But I'm gonna deal it back to you in spades
When I'm having fun, you know I can't conceal it
'Cause I know you'd never cut it in my game, oh, no
And when you're talking about a vasectomy, yeah
I'll be writing down your obituary, history, ouh
You got your bitches with the silicone injections
Crystal meth and yeast infections
Bleached blond hair, collagen lip injections
Who are you to criticize my intentions?
Got your subtle, manipulative devices
Just like you, I got my vices
I got a thought that would be nice
I'd like to crush your head, tight in my vice
Pain
And that goes for all you punks in the press, that want to start shit by printing lies instead of the things we said
That means you, Andy Secher at Hit Parader, Circus magazine, Mick Wall at Kerrang!
Bob Guccione Jr. at Spin, what you pissed off 'cause your dad gets more pussy than you?
Fuck you, suck my fucking dick
You be ripping off the fucking kids while they be paying their hard-earned money to read about the bands they want to know about?
Printing lies, starting controversy, you want to antagonize me?
Antagonize me, motherfucker, get in the ring, motherfucker and I'll kick your bitchy little ass, punk
I don't like you, I just hate you
I'm gonna kick your ass
Oh yeah
Oh yeah, ouh
Ahahahaha
Ahahahaha
Ahahahaha
You may not like our integrity, yeah
We built a world out of anarchy, oh yeah
And in this corner, weighing
In at 850 pounds, Guns N' Roses!
Get in the ring, get in the ring, get in the ring, get in the ring
Get in the ring, get in the ring, get in the ring, get in the ring (get the fuck in!)
Get in the ring, get in the ring, get in the ring, get in the ring
Get in the ring, get in the ring, get in the ring, get in the ring
Yeah
This song is dedicated to all the Guns N' Fuckin' Roses fans
Who've stuck with us through all the fucking shit
And to all those opposed – hmm, well
Get in the ring, get in the ring
Shotgun Blues lyrics - Guns N' Roses
I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues
I said, I don't know what I did, but I know I gotta move
I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues
I can't wait here forever, I got too much here to lose
An' now you are blowing smoke, I think you're one big joke
Me? I got to lot to learn an' I am still waiting for the heads to turn
You say I walk a line, fuck, they move it every time
You walk a mile in my shoes and then you tell me 'bout singin' the blues
Ah, well, you get what you pay for and freedom's real high priced
And while your ripping off childrens, somebody's fuckin' your wife
It's never made a difference, it's only how you survive
I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues
I said, I don't know what I did, but I know I gotta move
I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues
I can't wait here forever, I got too much here to lose
An' now you ask me why, I said, "It's do or die"
I'll stick it right in your face and then I'll put you in your motherfuckin' place
And you, you can suck my ass an' I think it is so low class
Me? I'm just so concerned, I'm still waitin' for your ass to burn
Oh, you want a confrontation? I'll give you every fuckin' chance
With your verbal masturbation, me? I just like to dance
How's that for provocation? I'm just making a stance
And I'm tired of the frustration of living inside of your lies
And I am wired on indignation, I said, somebody's got to die
Oh
I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues
I said, I don't know what I did, but I know I gotta move
I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues
I can't wait here forever, I got too much here to lose
I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues
Listen motherfucker, you're about to pay your dues
I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues
If you're goin' up against me then you know you're gonna lose
You think anyone with an I.Q. over 15
Would believe your shit, fuckhead?
Nothing but a fucking pussy
Breakdown lyrics - Guns N' Roses
We all come in from the cold, we come down from the wire
An' everybody warms themselves to a different fire
An' sometimes we get burned, you'd think sometime we'd learn
The one you love is the one that should take you higher
You ain't got no one, you better go back out and find her
Just like children hidin' in a closet, can't tell what's goin' on outside
Sometimes, we're so far off the beaten track, we get taken for a ride
By a parlor trick, or some words of wit, a hidden hand up a sleeve
To think the one you love could hurt you now is a little hard to believe
But everybody, darlin', sometimes bites the hand that feeds
When I look around an' everybody always brings me down
Well, is it them or me? Well, I just can't see but there ain't no peace to found
But if someone really cared, well, they'd take the time to spare
A moment to try and understand another one's despair
Remember, in this game we call life, that no one said it's fair
Breakdown (Let me hear it now)
Breakdown (Let me hear it now, yeah)
Breakdown (Let me hear it now)
I've come to know the cold, I think of it as home
When there ain't enough of me to go around, I'd rather be left alone
But if I call you out of habit, I'm out of love and I gotta have it
Would you give it to me if I fit your needs? Like when we both knew we had it
Now, the damage's done and we're back out on the run
Funny how everything was roses when we held on to the guns
Just because you're winnin' don't mean you're the lucky one
Breakdown (Let me hear it now)
Breakdown (Yeah)
Breakdown (Let me hear it now)
There goes the Challenger, bein' chased by the blue, blue meanies on wheels
The vicious traffic squad cars are after our lone driver
The last American hero, the-the electric sintar
The demi-god, the super driver of the golden west
Two nasty Nazi cars are close behind the beautiful, lone driver
The police cars are getting closer, closer
Closer to our soul hero in his soul mobile
Yeah, baby, they about to strike
They gonna get him, smash, rape
The last beautiful free soul on this planet
But it is written
If the evil spirit arms the tiger with claws
Brahman provided wings for the dove
Thus spake the super guru
D'you hear that?
Pretty Tied Up lyrics - Guns N' Roses
The perils of rock n' roll decadence
I know this chick, she lives down on Melrose
She ain't satisfied without some pain, ooh
Friday night is going up inside her again
Well, crack the whip, 'cause that bitch is just insane
(I'm serious)
She's pretty tied up, hanging upside down
She's pretty tied up and you can ride her
She's pretty tied up, hanging upside down
Ooh, I can't tell you she's the right one
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Once, there was this rock and roll band, rolling on the streets
Time went by and it became a joke
We just needed more and more fulfilling, uh-huh
Time went by and it all went up in smoke
(But check it out)
She's pretty tied up, hanging upside down
She's pretty tied up and you can ride her
She's pretty tied up, hanging upside down
I can't tell you she's the right one
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Once you made that money, it costs more, now
It might cost a lot more than you'd think
I just found a million dollars that someone forgot
It's days like this that push me over the brink
(Cool and stressing)
She's pretty tied up, hanging upside down
She's pretty tied up and you can ride her
She's pretty tied up, hanging upside down
I can't tell you she's the right one
Oh, she's the right one, she's the right one
I can't tell you she's the right one
Oh, she's the right one
She's the right one, she's the right one
Oh no, whoa, whoa, whoa
Locomotive lyrics - Guns N' Roses
Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness
Yeah, I'll find a way to cure the pain
If I said that you're my friend and our love would never end
How long before I had your trust again?
I opened up the doors when it was cold outside
Hoping that you'd find your own way in
But how can I protect you, or try not to neglect you
When you won't take the love I have to give?
Yeah, I bought me an illusion and I put it on the wall
I let it fill my head with dreams and I had to have them all
But, oh, the taste is never so sweet as what you'd believe it is
Well, I guess it never is, it's these prejudiced illusions
That pump the blood to the heart of the biz
You know, I never thought that it could take so long
You know I never knew how to be strong
Yeah, I let you shape me, but I feel as though you raped me
'Cause you climbed inside my world and in my song
So now I've closed the door to keep the cold outside
Seems, somehow, I've found the will to live
But how can I forget you, or try not to reject you
When we both know it takes time to forgive? Yeah, yeah
Sweetness is a virtue and you lost your virtue long ago
You know I'd like to hurt you but my conscience always tells me "No"
You could sell your body on the street to anyone whom you might meet
Who'd love to try and get inside and bust your innocence open wide
'Cause my baby's got a locomotive, my baby's gone off the track
My baby's got a locomotive, got to peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I'm insane
Take a closer look, I'm not to blame, no
Gonna have some fun with my frustration
Gonna watch the big screen in my head
I'd rather take a detour 'cause this road ain't getting clearer
Your train of thought has cut me off again
"Better tame that boy, 'cause he's a wild one
Better tame that boy 'fore he's a man"
Sweetheart, don't make me laugh, you's getting too big for your pants
And I think maybe you should cut out while you can
You can use your illusion, let it take you where it may
We live and learn, and then, sometimes, it's best to walk away
Me, I'm just here hanging on, it's my only place to stay
At least for now, anyway
I've worked too hard for my illusions just to throw them all away
I'm taking time for quiet consolation
In passing by this love that's passed away
I know it's never easy, so why should you believe me
When I've always got so many things to say?
Callin' off the dogs, a simple choice is made
'Cause playful hearts can sometimes be enraged
You know I tried to wake you, I mean how long could it take you
To open up your eyes and turn the page?
Kindness is a treasure and it's one, towards me, you've seldom shown
So, I'll say it, for good measure, to all the ones like you, I've known
Ya know I'd like to shave your head and all my friends could paint it red
'Cause love to me is a two-way street, an' all I really want is peace
But my baby's got a locomotive, my baby's gone off the track
My baby got a locomotive, got to peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I'm insane
Take a closer look, I'm not to blame, no
Affection is a blessing, can you find it in your sordid heart?
I tried to keep this thing together but the tremor tore my pad apart
Yeah, I know, it's hard to face when all we've worked for's gone to waste
But you're such a stupid woman and I'm such a stupid man
But love, like time, 's got its own plans
But my baby's got a locomotive, my baby's gone off the track
My baby got a locomotive, got to peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I'm insane
Take a closer look, I'm not to blame, no
Yeah, if love is blind, I guess I'll buy myself a cane
Love's so strange
Love's so strange
Love's so strange
Love's so strange
Love's so strange
Love's so strange
Love's so strange
Love's so strange
Love's so strange
Love's so strange
Love's so strange
So Fine lyrics - Guns N' Roses
How could she look so fine?
How could it be, she might be mine?
How could she be so cool?
I've been taken for a fool, so many times, hey
It's a story of a man who works as hard as he can
Just to be a man who stands on his own
But the book always burns as the story takes its turn
And leaves a broken man
How could she be so cool? Ah
How could she be so fine?
I owe a favor to a friend
My friends, they always come through for me
It's a story of a man who works as hard as he can
Just to be a man who stands on his own
But the book always burns as the story takes its turn
And leaves a broken man
If you could only live my life you could see the difference
You make to me, to me
And I'd look right up at night
And all I'd see was darkness
Now, I see the stars, alright
I want to reach right up and grab one for you
When the lights went down in your house
Yeah, that made me happy
The sweat I make for you
Yeah, I think you know where that comes from
Guitar, come on
Yeah, when I look right up at night
And all I'd see was darkness
Now, I see the stars, alright
I want to reach right up and grab one for you
When the lights went down in your house
Yeah, that made me happy
The sweat I make for you
I think you know where that comes from
How could she look so good? So good
How could she be so fine?
How could she be so cool?
How could it be, she might be mine?
Yeah
Estranged lyrics - Guns N' Roses
When you're talkin' to yourself and nobody's home
You can fool yourself, you came in this world alone (Alone)
So nobody ever told you, baby, how it was gonna be?
So what'll happen to you, baby? Guess we'll have to wait and see
One, two
Old at heart, but I'm only 28
And I'm much too young to let love break my heart
Young at heart, but it's gettin' much too late
To find ourselves so far apart
I don't know how you're s'posed to find me lately
An' what more could you ask from me, yay?
How could you say that I never needed you?
When you took everythin', said, you took everythin' from me
Hey, yeah
Young at heart, an' it gets so hard to wait
When no one I know can seem to help me now
Old at heart, but I mustn't hesitate
If I'm to find my own way out
Still, talkin' to myself and nobody's home (Alone)
So nobody ever told us, baby, how it was gonna be
So what'll happen to us, baby? Guess we'll have to wait and see
When I find out all the reasons
Maybe I'll find another way, find another day
With all the changin' seasons
Of my life, maybe I'll get it right next time
An' now that you've been broken down
Got your head out of the clouds, back down on the ground
An' you don't talk so loud an' you don't walk so proud
Anymore and what for?
Well, I jumped into the river too many times to make it home
I'm out here on my own an' driftin' all alone
If it doesn't show, give it time to read between the lines
'Cause I see the storm is gettin' closer
An' the waves, they get so high
Seems everythin' we've ever known's here
Why must it drift away and die?
I'll never find anyone to replace you
Guess I'll have to make it through this time, whoa, this time
Without you
I knew the storm was gettin' closer
And all my friends said I was high
But everythin' we've ever known's here
I never wanted it to die
You Could Be Mine lyrics - Guns N' Roses
I'm a cold heartbreaker, fit to burn and I'll rip your heart in two
And I'll leave you lyin' on the bed
I'll be out the door before you wake 'em, it's nothin' new to you
'Cause I think we've seen that movie, too
'Cause you could be mine, but you're way out of line
With your bitch slap rappin' and your cocaine tongue
You get nothin' done, I said, you could be mine, aw
Now, holidays come and then they go, it's nothin' new today
Collect another memory
When I come home, late at night, don't ask me where I've been
Just count your stars I'm home again
'Cause you could be mine, but you're way out of line
With your bitch slap rappin' and your cocaine tongue
You get nothin' done, I said, you could be mine
You could be mine, you could be mine
You could be mine, you could be mine
You could be mine, mine, mine, mine
You've gone sketching too many times
Ooh, why don't you give it a rest?
Why must you find another reason to cry?
Well, you're breakin' down my back and I've been rackin' out my brain
It don't matter how we make it, 'cause it always ends the same
You can push it for more mileage, but your flaps are wearing thin
And I could sleep on it until mornin', but this nightmare never ends
Don't forget to call my lawyers with ridiculous demands
An' you can take the pity so far, but it's more than I can stand
'Cause this couch-trip's gettin' older, tell me how long has it been?
'Cause five years is forever, and you haven't grown up yet
Oh, you could be mine, but you're way out of line
With your bitch slap rappin' and your cocaine tongue
You get nothin' done, I said, you could, you should be
You could be mine
Oh, you could be mine
You could be mine
Aw, you could be mine
You could be mine
Aw, you could be mine
Aw, you could be mine
Aw, you could be mine
You could be mine, yeah
Don't Cry (Alternate Lyrics) lyrics - Guns N' Roses
If we could see tomorrow, what of your plans?
No one can live in sorrow, ask all your friends
Times that you took in stride, they're back in demand
I was the one who was washing blood off your hands
Don't you cry tonight, I still love you, baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight, there's a heaven above you, baby
And don't you cry tonight
I know the things you wanted, they're not what you have
With all the people talking, it's driving you mad
If I was standing by you, how would you feel
Knowing your love's decided, and all love is real? Yeah, baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight, there's a heaven above you, baby
And don't you cry tonight
I thought I could live in your world as years all went by
With all the voices I've heard, something has died
And when you're in need of someone, my heart won't deny you
So many seem so lonely with no one left to cry to, baby
And don't you cry tonight
And don't you cry tonight
And don't you cry tonight, there's a heaven above you, baby
And don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight, baby, maybe someday
Don't you cry, don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight
My World lyrics - Guns N' Roses
You want to step into my world?
It's a socio-psychotic state of bliss
You've been delayed in the real world
How many times have you hit and missed?
Your cat-scan shows dis-figuration
I want to laugh myself to death
With a misfired synapse, with a bent configuration
I'll hold the line, while you gasp for breath
You wanna talk to me? (So talk to me)
You wanna talk to me? (So talk to me)
You wanna talk to me? (So talk to me)
You wanna talk to me? (You can't talk to me)
You wanna talk to me? (Don't understand your sex)
You wanna talk to me? (You ain't been mind-fucked yet)
Let's do it
Let's do it
Let's do it
Oh, my distorted smile
Guess what I'm doin' now, uh
