Rock N Roll Nigger

Lyrics

Baby was a black sheep, baby was a whore
 Baby got big and baby get bigger
 Baby get something, baby get more
 Baby, baby, baby was a rock and roll nigger
 Oh, look around you, all around you
 Riding on a copper wave
 Do you like the world around you?
 Are you ready to behave?
 Outside of society
 They're waitin' for me
 Outside of society
 That's where I want to be
 Lenny!
 Baby was a black sheep, baby was a whore
 You know she got big, well, she's gonna get bigger
 Baby got a hand, got a finger on the trigger
 Baby, baby, baby is a rock and roll nigger
 Outside of society
 That's where I want to be
 Outside of society
 They're waitin' for me
 Those who have suffered, understand suffering
 And thereby 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 of society
 They're waitin' for me
 Outside of society
 If you're looking, that's where you'll find me
 Outside of society
 They're waitin' for me
 Outside of society
