GnR is the undisputed voice of the white trash. They are also in the habit of singing allegorical songs. So which song do you think reveals their dismal backgrounds best?
Perfect Crime Lyrics (Stradlin / Slash / Rose) Kickin' back in the shadows Got no need for the light Who's sorry now old timer Look at how you've spent your life Scroungin' for change To put some money in your pocket My, how scratch does burn Laughin' at the suckers as you pissed it away But I got the time and I got the muscle I got the need to lay it all on the line I ain't afraid of your smoke screen hustle It's a perfect crime Goddamn it it's a perfect crime Mother****** it's a perfect crime I said it's perfect Keep the demons down And drag the skeletons out I got a blind man followin' me in chains I said he's fun to watch When the world has stopped An I think he's got somethin' to say "You wanna **** with me, don't **** with me 'Cause I'm what you'll be so don't **** with me If you had better sense You'd step aside from the bad side of me Don't **** wit'da bad side o' me Stay away from the bad side o' me Don't **** wit'da bad side" T MINUS 1:09 AND COUNTING Ostracized but that's all right I was thinkin' about somethin' myself 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 Call on everybody who's got last rites Said it's better if you locked 'em away Runnin' through the visons at the speed of light Won't ya let me be Mother****** just let me be Goddamn it better let me be Don't ya know ya better let me be... Perfect crime Goddamn it it's a perfect crime Mother****** it's a perfect crime Don't cha know It's a perfect crime

breakdown all come in from the cold We come down from the wire An everybody warms themselves to a different fire When sometimes we get burned You'd think sometime we'd learn The one you love is the one That should take you higher You ain't got no one You better go back out and find her i think this could be the theme of next flick of wild west. with guitars and a voice.this is the song
you are one in a million you're a shooting star you're one in a million you know that you are maybe someday i'll see you before you make us cry you know i tried to reach you BUT YOU WERE MUCH TOO HIGH
