Yes, I entertain myself all of the time
Livin’ like this never ever
Tore my life apart

Лирика:
She hit town like a rose in bloom
Smellin’ sweet, said sweet perfume
The color faded and the petals died
Down in the city, no one cried
In the streets, the garbage lies
Protected by a million flies
The roaches so big
You know that they got bones
They moved in and made a tenement home
I said nice boys
Don’t play rock and roll
Nice boys don’t play rock and roll
I’m not a nice boy!
Sweet sixteen she was fresh and clean
Wanted so bad to be part of the scene
She met the man and she did the smack
Paid the price layin’ flat on her back
Wanted so bad just to please the boys
They ended up just being a toy
Played so hard burned her life away
Lies were told no promises made
You know nice boys
Don’t play rock and roll
Nice boys don’t play rock and roll
I’m not a nice boy and I never was!
Young and fresh when she hit town
Hot for kicks just to get around
But now she lays in a filthy room
She kills the pain with
A flick and a spoon
And in the streets the garbage lies
Protected by a million flies
You know the roaches so big
You know that they got bones
Moved in and made a tenement home
Nice boys don’t play rock and roll
Nice boys don’t play rock and roll
Nice boys don’t play rock and roll
Nice boys don’t play rock and roll
Nice boys don’t play rock and roll
No,no,no,no,no,no,no,no baby
Nice boys don’t play rock and roll
Nice boys don’t play rock and roll
I bet your mama said
«Nice boys don’t play rock and roll»
Nice boys don’t play rock and roll
Nice boys don’t play rock and roll
Nice boys don’t play rock and roll
Nice boys don’t play rock and roll
Nice boys!

You pack your bags
And you move to the city
There’s somethin’ missin’ here at home
You fix your hair
And you’re lookin’ real pretty
It’s time to get it out on your own
You’re always fightin’
With your mama and you papa
Your family life is one big pain!
When you, you gonna move to the city?
Into the city where it all began
You gotta move, You gotta move
Ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma
Time you gotta move
You stole your mama’s car
And your daddy’s plastic credit card
You’re sixteen and you can’t get a job
You’re not goin’ very far
You’re always ridin’
With the teachers and the police
This life is much too insane!
When you, you gonna move to the city?
Into the city where it all began
You gotta move, You gotta move
Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma
Time you gotta move
Right to the city
Where the real men get it
Aw, child, ain’t it a pity?
Sometimes it gets too shitty!
Come on and hit me!
You’re on the streets
And it ain’t so pretty
You need to get a new what you please
You do what you gotta do for the money
At times you end up on your knees!
I’m always buyin’
With the local and the junkies
This city life is one big pain!
But you, you had to move to the city
Into the city where it all began
You gotta move, you gotta move
Ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma
Time you gotta move
Oh right to the city
With the real nitty gritty
Aw, child, ain’t it a pity?
Sometimes it gets too shitty!
Come on and hit me!

‘Cause someday soon
You’ll have to climb back on the wagon
It ain’t easy livin’ like you wanna
It’s so hard to find piece of mind

Bald as an egg at eighteen
And workin’ for daddy’s such a drag
You still stuff your mouth

Was a time when I wasn’t sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt
You’re in my heart now
Said, woman, take it slow
It’ll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said, sugar, make it slow
And we come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
Patience
Mm, yeah
I sit here on the stairs
‘Cause I’d rather be alone
If I can’t have you right now
I’ll wait, dear
Sometimes I get so tense
But I can’t speed up the time
But you know, love
There’s one more thing to consider
Said, woman, take it slow
And things’ll be just fine
You an’ I’ll just use a little patience
Said, sugar, take the time
Because the lights are shining bright
You and I’ve got what it takes to make it
We won’t fake it
Oh, I’ll never break it
‘Cuz i can’t take it

Is all you need
I’ve been walkin’ the streets at night
Just tryin’ to get it right
Hard to see with so many around
You know I don’t like
Being stuck in the crowd
And the streets don’t change
But baby the name

(свист)
Guess I needed sometime to get away
I needed some piece of mind
Some piece of mind that’ll stay
So I thumbed it down to Sixth and L.A.
Maybe a Greyhound could be my way
Police and niggers, that’s right
Get out of my way
Don’t need to buy none of your
Gold chains today
I don’t need no bracelets
Clamped in front of my back
Just need my ticket; ’til then
Won’t you cut me some slack?
You’re one in a million
Yeah, that’s what you are
You’re one in a million, babe
You’re a shooting star
Maybe someday we’ll see you
Before you make us cry
You know we tried to reach you
But you were much too high
Much too high, much too high
Much too high, yes, ow!
Immigrants and faggots
They make no sense to me
They come to our country
And think they’ll do as they please
Like start some mini Iran
Or spread some fuckin’ disease
They talk so many goddamn ways
It’s all Greek to me
Well some say I’m lazy
And others say that’s just me
Some say I’m crazy
I guess I’ll always be
But it’s been such a long time
Since I knew right from wrong
It’s all the means to an end, I
I keep it movin’ along
You’re one in a million
Ooh, you’re a shooting star
You’re one in a million, babe
You know that you are
Maybe someday we’ll see you, ooh
Ooh, before you make us cry
You know we tried to reach you
But you were much too high
Much too high, ooh, much too high
Yeah
Much too high, huh, no, no, oh
Ow!
Radicals and racists
Don’t point your finger at me
I’m a small town white boy
Just tryin’ to make ends meet
Don’t need your religion
Don’t watch that much TV
Just makin’ my livin’, baby
Well that’s enough for me
You’re one in a million
Yeah that’s what you are
You’re one in a million, babe
You’re a shooting star
Maybe someday we’ll see you,
Before you make us cry
You know we tried to reach you
But you were much too high
Much too high, ow, much too high
Much too high, much too high
Yeah, yeee, yeah, yeee, high!
Ow! Much too high
[Oh, much too high, ah
Much too high, ah, much too high
Much too high, ow, much too high
