Rock ‘N’ Roll Nigger Lyrics
[Intro]
And the world spreads its legs
And the world spreads its legs
For another fuckin' star!
'Cause I am the all-American Antichrist
I was made in America
And America hates me for what I am, I am your shit
You should be ashamed of what you have eaten
I'm a rock 'n' roll nigger!
[Verse 1]
Baby was a black sheep, baby was a whore
Baby's gotten big and baby's getting bigger
Baby got somethin', baby want more
Baby, baby, baby was a rock 'n' roll nigger
[Pre-Chorus]
How do you like the world around you?
Do you like what you see?
How do you like the world around you?
Ready to be?
[Chorus]
Outside of society, waiting for me
Outside of society, is where I wanna be
[Verse 2]
Baby was a black sheep, baby was a whore
Baby got big and baby's getting bigger
Baby got a gun, got her finger on the trigger
Baby, baby, baby was a rock 'n' roll nigger
[Chorus]
Outside of society, waiting for me
Outside of society, is where I wanna be
[Bridge]
Nigger, rock 'n' roll nigger
I'm a rock 'n' roll nigger
This is your world in which we grow
And we will grow to hate you
We will grow to hate you
We will grow, we will grow
We will grow to hate you
We will grow, we will grow
We will grow to hate you
One, two, three, four!
[Verse 3]
I was lost in the valley of pleasure
I was lost in the infinite sea
I was lost and begging for pleasure
And this world is waiting for me
[Verse 4]
Jimi Hendrix was a nigger
Jesus Christ and grandma, too
Brian Warner, what a nigger
Nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger!
[Chorus]
Outside of society, waiting for me
Outside of society, is where I wanna be
Outside of society, waiting for me
Outside of society, is where I wanna be
[Outro]
Yeah! Yeah!
Fuck you! Fuck you!
No, fuck you! Fuck you!
