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
