Hymn Rock N Roll Nigger
I, I, I, I, I, I, I
I, Patti Smith
I'm an American artist
I have no guilt, I have no truth but the truth inside you
All together, we could know all there is to know
Baby was a black sheep, baby was a whore
Baby got big and baby got bigger
Baby want something, baby want more
Baby, baby, baby was a rock and roll nigger
Look around you, all around you
Riding on a cup or wave
Do you like the world around you?
Are you tryin' to behave?
Outside of society
They're waitin' for me
Outside of society
If you don't want me, that's where you'll find 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
They're waitin' for me
Outside of society
If you want me, that's where you'll find me
Outside, outside, outside
Outside, outside, outside
Patti
I was lost in a valley of pleasure
I was lost in the infinite sea
I was lost, and measure for measure
Nothing is all for 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, he was nigger
Hi, everybody
Hello, everybody here dancing tonight
Or give our dream team
And played a miraculous set tonight
Lenny Kaye
Jay Dee Daugherty
Ivan Kral
Little Ricky Sohl on keyboards
We're the Patti Smith Group
Hi, everybody, hi
Bonjour mes amies
Bonne soirée les antres
