Nice Boys - 1986 Sound City Session
Okay, we're rollin' (Rollin')
No, we're not
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
Roaches so big
You know that they got bones
They moved in and made a tenement home
Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll
Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll
I'm not a nice boy
Sweet sixteen, she was fresh and clean
Wanted so bad to be part of the scene
Took the man and she did the smack
Paid the price layin' flat on her back
Wanted bad to please the boys
Ended up just being a toy
Played so hard, she burned her life away
Lies were told and no promises made
You know nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll
Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll
I'm not a nice boy and I never was
Young and fresh when she hit town
Hot for kicks just to get her ass around
Now she lays in a filthy room
Kills the pain with a flick and a spoon
In the streets the garbage lies
Protected by a million flies
Roaches so big
You know that they got bones
They moved in and made a tenement home
Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll
Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll
Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll
Nice boys, they never play rock 'n' roll
Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, baby
Nice boys never play rock 'n' roll
I bet your mama said
"Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll"
Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll
Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll
Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll
Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll
Nice boys, you never play rock 'n' roll
Nice boys
No, we're not
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
Roaches so big
You know that they got bones
They moved in and made a tenement home
Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll
Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll
I'm not a nice boy
Sweet sixteen, she was fresh and clean
Wanted so bad to be part of the scene
Took the man and she did the smack
Paid the price layin' flat on her back
Wanted bad to please the boys
Ended up just being a toy
Played so hard, she burned her life away
Lies were told and no promises made
You know nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll
Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll
I'm not a nice boy and I never was
Young and fresh when she hit town
Hot for kicks just to get her ass around
Now she lays in a filthy room
Kills the pain with a flick and a spoon
In the streets the garbage lies
Protected by a million flies
Roaches so big
You know that they got bones
They moved in and made a tenement home
Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll
Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll
Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll
Nice boys, they never play rock 'n' roll
Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, baby
Nice boys never play rock 'n' roll
I bet your mama said
"Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll"
Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll
Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll
Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll
Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll
Nice boys, you never play rock 'n' roll
Nice boys
