Rock 'N' Roll N****r
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
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
