Patti Smith Rock n Roll Nigger

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 'n' 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

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 'n' 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
