Rock 'n' Roll Nigger Written by - Patti Smith & Lenny Kaye From - Easter Baby was a black sheep Baby was a whore Baby got big and baby gets bigger Baby get something Baby get more Baby, baby, baby was a rock 'n' roll nigger A look around you All around you Riding on a copper wave Do you like the world around you? Are you ready to behave? Outside the society They're waitin' for me Outside the society That's where I wanna be Lenny! Baby was a black sheep Baby was a whore You know she got big Well, she's gonna get bigger Baby got her hand Got a finger on the trigger Baby, baby, baby is a rock 'n' roll nigger Outside the society That's where I wanna be Outside the society They're waitin' for me (Outside outside outside...) Those who have suffered Understand suffering And there by extend their hand The storm that brings harm also makes fertile Blessed is the grass and herb and the true thorn and light I was lost in a valley of pleasure I was lost in the infinite sea I was lost And measure for measure Love spewed from the heart of me I was lost and the cost And the cost didn't matter to me I was lost and the cost Was to be outside society Jimi Hendrix was a nigger Jesus Christ and Grandma, too Jackson Pollock was a nigger Nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger Outside the society They're waitin' for me Outside the society If you're looking That's where you'll find me Outside the society They're waitin' for me Outside the society Outside the society Outside the society... ©1978 Ninja Music |
