1. 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



2. 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, 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



3. 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 your 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 move
Ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma
Time you gotta move
Right to the city where the real men get it
Aw, child, ain´t it a pity?
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,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma
Time you gotta move
Oh right to the city with the real nitty gritty
Aw, child, ain´t it a pity?
Sometimes it gets too shitty
Come on and hit me



4. Mama Kin


This is a song about your fuckin´ mother

It ain´t easy livin´ like a gypsy, tell ya, honey, how it feels
I´ve been dreamin´ floatin´ down stream and losin´ touch with all that´s real
Whole lotta lover, keepin´ undercover, never knowin´ where you been, oh yeah
You´ve been fadin´, always out paradin´, keep in touch with mama kin

You always got your tail on the wag
Spittin´ fire from your mouth just like a dragon, you act like a perpetual drag
You better check it out ´cause someday soon you´ll have to climb back on the wagon

It ain´t easy livin´ like you wanna, it´s so hard to find piece of mind, yes it is
The way I see it you got to say shit, but don´t forget to drop me a line

Bald as an egg at eighteen and workin´ for your daddy´s such a drag
You still stuff your mouth with his beans
You better check it out or someday soon you´ll have to climb back on the wagon

Keep in touch with mama kin, tell her where you gone and been
Livin´ out your fantasy, sleepin´ late and smokin´ tea
Keep in touch with mama kin, tell her where you gone and been
Livin´ out your fantasy, sleepin´ late and suckin´ me, oh no

It ain´t easy livin´ like you wanna, I´s so hard to find piece of mind, yes it is
The way I see it you got to say ´shit´ but don´t forget to drop me a line

Bald as an egg at eighteen and workin´ for daddy´s just a drag
You still stuff your mouth with his beans
You better check it out or someday soon you´ll have to climb back on the wagon

Keep in touch with mama kin, tell her where you gone and been
Livin´ out your fantasy, sleepin´ late and smokin´ tea
Keep in touch with mama kin, tell her where you gone and been
Livin´ out your fantasy, sleepin´ late and suckin´ me
Ohh, ow, ow, ow, yeah



5. Patience


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
Mmm, 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

Little patience, mm yeah, mm yeah, need a little patience, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah, some more patience, yeah

I been walkin´ the streets at night, just tryin´ to get it right
Hard to see with so many around
You know I don´t like being stuck in the crowd.
And the streest don´t change
But baby the name, I ain´t got time for the game, ´cause I need you
Yeah, yeah, but I need you, oh, I need you, whoa, I need you
All this thime



6. Used To Love Her


I used to love her but I had to kill her
I used to love her, mm yeah, but I had to kill her
I had to put her six feet under and I can still hear her complain

I used to love her, oh yeah, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, oh yeah, but I had to kill her
I knew I´d miss her so I had to keep her
She´s buried right in my backyard
Oh yeah, ohoh yeah, whoa, oh yeah

I used to love her nut I had to kill her
I used to love her, mm yeah, but I had to kill her
She bitched so much, she drove me nuts and now I´m happier this way
Whoa, oh yeah

I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, mm yeah, but I had to kill her
I had to put her, oh, six feet under and I can still hear her complain



7. You´re Crazy


I´ve been lookin´ for a trace, lookin´ for a heart
Lookin´ for a lover in a world that´s much too dark
Because you don´t want my love, no no, you wanna sati-satisfaction
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, ow
You don´t need my love, you got to find yourself another
Another piece, another piece of the action, yeah, ow yeah, look out

Say where ya goin? what you gonna do?
I been lookin´ everywhere said i, I been lookin´ for you
Because you don´t want my love, no no, you wanna sati-satisfaction
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
You don´t need my love, you got to find yourself another
Another piece, another piece of the action

You´re crazy, hey, hey, you know you´re crazy, oh my
You´re fuckin´ crazy, oh child, you know you´re crazy
Ay,ay,ay,ay,ay,ay,ah,ah,ah,ah, yeah
Woh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

No,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no
No,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no no,no,no, oh no

Say, boy, where ya comin´ from, where´d ya get that point of view?
When I was younger, I knew a motherfucker like you
And she said. ´you don´t need my love, you wanna sati-satisfaction´
Bitch
You don´t need my love, you´ve got to find yourself another
Another piece, another piece of the action

You´re crazy, hey, hey, you know you´re crazy, oh my
You´re fuckin´ crazy, oh child, you know you´re crazy
Ay, ay, ay, ay, you know you´re crazy, hey, hey,
You´re fuckin´ crazy, oh child, you know you´re crazy
Ay, ay, ay, ay, you´re fuckin´ crazy
Yeah, you know you are, bring it down, you´re fuckin´ crazy



8. One In A Million


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 faggots 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, oh, you´re a shooting star
You´re one in a million, babe, you know that you are
Maybe someday we´ll see you, oh, before you make us cry
You know we tried to reach you, but you were much too high
Much too high, oh, 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 were much too high
Much too high, ow, much too high, much too high, much too high
Yeah, ow, much too high, oh, much too high, ah, much too high, ah
Much too high, much too high, ow, much too high
