Sex, Drugs n' Rock n' Roll - Guns n' Roses
it was long ago,
seems like a dream.
the day I sucked the air
from a bottle of whipped cream
and i got real high
and things got real slow
and i started talking like this
what's going on?
i don't know
and then i sold my car
for a Greatful Dead ticket
my dad yelled at me
and he grounded me
and he said i was a dick,
it was the worst day of my life
and i'll never forget
but the very next day
I was doing bong hits
in the back of my friend's chevy
so don't tell me
we're winning the war on drugs
cause drugs are like a bog ol' can of raid
and you're all little bugs
and don't tell me
to not get high
cause i'm as low as i can get
without kissing your ass
and blowing you at the same time
man, don't tell me about love and peace
when one of the Joneses has a handgun
pointed at me
don't tell me to just say no
i'm an addict, i say don't let me go
whatever happened to sex drugs n' rock n' roll?
now we just have AIDS crack and techno
so they busted me
that's when i say "f**k them up"
for selling dope
and i went to jail
and i wasn't forgiven
like that little f**ker who shot the pope
and he said i had the right to remain silent
and they couldn't explain
but i didn't resist
and i was invited
'cause all i ever wanted was the right to remain
and they questioned me
yeah, they asked me "why?"
and i said "f**k off"
i dont think i should be shot
for selling pot
it's just my little way of saying "high"
now my record's all f**ked up
and i'm not allowed to vote
now two times a week
they make me piss in a cup
well what i want to do
is piss down their throats
man, don't tell me about love and peace
when one of the Joneses has a handgun
pointed at me
don't tell me to just say no
i'm an addict, i say don't let me go
whatever happened to sex drugs n' rock n' roll?
now we just have AIDS crack and techno
okay, here's the sensitive part
they told me
that times have changed
cause our parents had
Hendrix, Janice and Jim
but what about
River Phoenix and Kurt Cobain
and they told me
to praise the lord
but i've been waiting for so long
for him to call me back
i think i'm gonna go pray
at Betty Ford
and they told me
that life was fair
but i can't smoke a plant that was made by God
but i can kill my wife if i'm a football player
and they told me,
yeah they told me to just ignore
but i'd rather smoke crack
outta Nancy Reagan's skull
while gettin' a blowjob
from Tipper Gore
man, don't tell me about love and peace
when one of the Joneses has a handgun
pointed at me
don't tell me to just say no

Now that's one rare song from Guns. Interesting fact about that song is that years back, when I searched the lyrics on the net(by using words I heard in the song) I ended up on a blog. It surprised me. Because, it was beautiful. It had a very simple layout. And the most interesting stuff was that it had a picture on every post. Even the post about the "Sex, Drugs and Rock n' Roll" lyrics had a picture. It had 3 whiskey glasses. On the first one was the word "Sex", the second "Drugs" and the third?? Yeah baby.. "Rock and Roll". And each of the glasses had a small design reflecting the word. So the "Sex" glass had the silhouette of 2 persons having sex.
Listen to the song and look the lyrics. Its a very very funny song. My favorite part is when he goes " Whatever happened to sex, drugs n' rock n' roll? Now we just have AIDS, crack and techno". So true. Rock rules. :P
Post made for the MBB theme of the week; "Sex, Drugs n' Rock n' Roll".
this song rocks! :P
forgot to add
" Whatever happened to sex, drugs n' rock n' roll? Now we just have AIDS, crack and techno". hihi ;D omg so true! :P BTW arent you a bit too early for the theme of the week? hmmm
yes it does. haha
yes i am early. i woke up today and said "i want to be a new man". hahah i'm joking off course.. i'm just quoting someone close. :u
I love this song too. I've listened to it only once though :(
Hmmm, zamais mne ekut sa song la! I'll have to look for it :-)
This song fukin' rules!
I've got to listen to this song again! Great Song!!!!
i first thought it was GnR too, but if you google the lyrics you'll find out the song is actually by Laughing Colors, and is called "War on Drugs" (off one of their live albums). I wanna find a studio version of it though...
Hey eliot. Thanks dude. I too was doubting it was from GNR.. Didnt sound like Axl. Anyway I'll need to check that on google and edit the title. Thanks again..
