Reckless
Life
I'm reckless and feelin' no pain
You know
I've got no need to control
Livin'
with the danger
I'm always
on the edge now
With
million dollar visions that I hold
Livin'
like this never ever
Tore my
life apart
I know how
to maintain
And you
know I know my part
On a holiday, a permanent vacation
I'm living
on a cigarette with wine
I'm never
alone 'cause I've got myself
Yes, I
imitate myself all of the time
Livin' like this never ever
Tore my
life apart
I know how
to maintain
'Cause
it's comin' from my heart
I lead a reckless life
And I
don't need your advice
I lead a
reckless life
And you
know it's my only vice
Reckless life
I lead a
reckless life
I lead a
reckless life
And you
know it's my only...
Reckless life
I lead a
reckless life
I lead a
reckless life
And you
know it's my only...
Hey, hey -
yeah!
Nice
Boys
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
The
roaches so big
You know
that they got bones
They moved
in and made a tenement home
I said nice boys
Don't play
rock and roll
Nice boys
don't play rock and roll
I'm not a
nice boy!
Sweet sixteen she was fresh and clean
Wanted so
bad to be part of the scene
She met
the man and she did the smack
Paid the
price layin' flat on her back
Wanted so
bad just to please the boys
They ended
up just being a toy
Played so
hard burned her life away
Lies were
told no promises made
You know nice boys
Don't play
rock and roll
Nice boys
don't play rock and roll
I'm not a
nice boy and I never was!
Young and fresh when she hit town
Hot for
kicks just to get around
But now
she lays in a filthy room
She kills
the pain with
A flick
and a spoon
And in the
streets the garbage lies
Protected
by a million flies
You know
the roaches so big
You know
that they got bones
Moved in
and made a tenement home
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys
don't play rock and roll
Nice boys
don't play rock and roll
Nice boys
don't play rock and roll
Nice boys
don't play rock and roll
No, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no baby
Nice boys
don't play rock and roll
Nice boys
don't play rock and roll
I bet you
mama said
'Nice boys
don't play rock and roll'
Nice boys
don't play rock and roll
Nice boys
don't play rock and roll
Nice boys
don't play rock and roll
Nice boys
don't play rock and roll
Nice boys!
Move
To The City
You pack your bags
And you
move to the city
There's
somethin' missin' here at home
You fix
your hair
And you're
lookin' real pretty
It's time
to get it out on your own
You're
always fightin'
With your
mama and you papa
Your
family life is one big pain!
When you,
you gonna move to the city?
Into the
city where it all began
You gotta move
You gotta
move
Ma, ma,
ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma
Time you
gotta move
You stole your mama's car
And your
daddy's plastic credit card
You're
sixteen and you can't get a job
You're not
goin' very far
You're
always ridin'
With the
teachers and the police
This life
is much too insane!
When you,
you gonna move to the city?
Into the
city where it all began
You gotta move
You gotta

Ma, ma,

Where the
real men get it
Aw, child,

Sometimes
it gets too shitty!
Come on
and hit me!
You're on the streets
And it
ain't so pretty
You need
to get a new what you please
You do
what you gotta do for the money
At times
you end up on your knees!
I'm always buyin'
With the
local and the junkies
This city
life is one big pain!
But you,
you had to move to the city
Into the
city where it all began
You gotta move
You gotta
move
Ma, ma,

It's so
hard to find piece of mind
Yes it is
The way I
see it
You got to
say 'shee-it'
But don't

Bald as an egg at eighteen
And
workin' for daddy's such a drag
You still

With his
beans
You better

You'll
have to climb back on the wagon
Keep in touch with mama kin

Patience
1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4
(whistle)
Shed a
tear 'cause I'm missin' you
I'm still
alright to smile
Girl, I
think about you every day now
Was a time
when I wasn't sure
But you
set my mind at ease
There is
no doubt
You're in
my heart now
Said, woman, take it slow
It'll work
itself out fine
All we
need is just a little patience
Said,
sugar, make it slow
And we
come together fine
All we
need is just a little patience
(patience)
Mm, yeah
I sit here on the stairs
'Cause I'd
rather be alone
If I can't
have you right now
I'll wait,
dear
Sometimes
I get so tense
But I
can't speed up the time
But you
know, love
There's
one more thing to consider
Said, woman, take it slow
And things
will be just fine
You and
I'll just use a little patience
Said,
sugar, take the time
'Cause the
lights are shining bright
You and
I've got what it takes
To make it
We won't
fake it,
I'll never
break it
'Cause I
can't take it

One
In A Million
1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4
(Whistle)
Guess I
needed sometime to get away
I needed
some piece of mind
Some piece
of mind that'll stay
So I
thumbed it down to Sixth and L.A.
Maybe a
Greyhound could be my way
Police and Niggers, that's right
Get out of
my way
Don't need
to buy none of your
Gold
chains today
I don't
need no bracelets
Clamped in
front of my back
Just need
my ticket; 'til then
Won't you
cut me some slack?
You're one in a million
Yeah,
that's what you are
You're one
in a million, babe
You're a
shooting star
Maybe
someday we'll see you
Before you
make us cry
You know
we tried to reach you
But you
were much too high
Much too
high, much too high
Much too
high, yes, ow!
Immigrants and fagets
They make
no sense to me
They come
to our country
And think
they'll do as they please
Like start
some mini Iran
Or spread
some fuckin' disease
They talk
so many goddamn ways
It's all
Greek to me
Well some say I'm lazy
And others
say that's just me
Some say
I'm crazy
I guess
I'll always be
But it's
been such a long time
Since I
knew right from wrong
It's all
the means to an end, I
I keep it
movin' along
You're one in a million
Oo, you're
a shooting star
You're one
in a million, babe
You know
that you are
Maybe
someday we'll see you, oo
Oh, Before
you make us cry
You know
we tried to reach you
But you
were much too high
Much too
high, Oo, much too high
Yeah,
Much too
high, huh, no, no, oh
Ow!
Radicals and Racists
Don't
point your finger at me
I'm a
small town white boy
Just
tryin' to make ends meet
Don't need
your religion
Don't
watch that much T.V.
Just
makin' my livin', baby
Well
that's enough for me
You're one in a million
Yeah
that's what you are
You're one
in a million, babe
You're a
shooting star
Maybe
someday we'll see you
Before you
make us cry
You know
we tried to reach you
But you

Much too
