Reckless Life

I'm reckless and feelin' no pain

You know I've got no need to control

Livin' with the danger

I'm always on the edge now

With million dollar visions that I hold

Livin' like this never ever

Tore my life apart

I know how to maintain

And you know I know my part

On a holiday, a permanent vacation

I'm living on a cigarette with wine

I'm never alone 'cause I've got myself

Yes, I imitate myself all of the time

Livin' like this never ever

Tore my life apart

I know how to maintain

'Cause it's comin' from my heart

I lead a reckless life

And I don't need your advice

I lead a reckless life

And you know it's my only vice

Nice Boys

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

I bet you mama said

Nice boys don't play rock and roll

Nice boys!

Move to the City

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

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

Mama Kin

It ain't easy livin' like a gypsy

Tell ya, honey, how it feels

I've been dreamin' floatin' down stream

And losin' touch with all that's real

Whole lotta lover, keepin' undercover

Never knowin' where you been

You've been fadin', always out paradin'

Keep in touch with mama kin!

You always got your tail on the wag

Spittin' fire from your mouth like a dragon

You act like a perpetual drag

You better check it out '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, yes it is

The way I see it You got to say 'shee-it'

But don't forget to drop me a line

Bald as an egg at eighteen

And workin' for daddy's such a drag

You still stuff your mouth with his beans

You better check it out or someday soon

You'll have to climb back on the wagon

Keep in touch with mama kin

Tell her where you gone and been

Livin' out your fantasy

Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

Keep in touch with mama kin

Tell her where you gone and been

Livin' out your fantasy

Sleepin' late and suckin' me

Patience

Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you

I'm still alright to smile

Girl, I think about you evryday now

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

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 will be just fine

If you and I just use a little patience

Said, sugar, take the time

'Cause the lights are shining bright

You and I've got what it takes to make it,

We won't fake it,

I'll never break it 'cause I can't take it

...little patience,

Need a little patience, yeah

Just a little patience, yeah

Some more patience,

Need some patience,

Could use some patience, yeah

Gotta have some patience, yeah

All it takes is patience,

Just a little patience

Is all we need

I 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 a crowd

And the streets don't change

But baby the names

I ain't got time for the game

'Cause I need you

Yeah, yeah, but I need you

Oo, I need you

Whoa, I need you

Oo, all this time

Used to Love Her

I used to love her, but I had to kill her

I used to love her, yeah but I had to kill her

I had to put her six feet under

And I can still hear her complain

I used to love her, ooh, yeah, but I had to kill her

I used to love her, ooh, yeah but I had to kill her

I knew I'd miss her so I had to keep her

She's buried right in my backyard, oh, yeah

She bitched so much, she drove me nuts

And now I'm happier this way, oh oh yeah

(Take, it to what it is)

You're Crazy

I've been lookin' for a trace

Lookin' for a heart

Lookin' for a lover in a world

That's much too dark

Because you don't want my love, no, no

You wanna sati-satisfaction

You don't need my love

You got to find yourself another

Another piece, another piece of the action

yeah, ow yeah, look out

Say where ya goin?

What you gonna do?

I been lookin' everywhere said

I'll been lookin' for you

Because you don't want my love, no, no

You wanna sati-satisfaction

You don't need my love

You got to find yourself another

Another piece, another piece of the action

You're crazy, hey, hey

You know you're crazy, oh my!

You're fuckin' crazy, oh child

You know you're crazy

Say, boy, where ya comin' from?

Where'd ya get that point of view?

When I was younger

I knew a motherfucker like you

And she said

'You don't need my love

You wanna sati-satisfaction,'

Bitch, you don't need my love

You've got to find yourself another

Another piece, another piece Of the action

Bring it down!

You're fuckin' crazy!

One in a Milion

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; 'till 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

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 T.V.

Just makin' my livin', baby

Well that's enough for me
