Title: Chinese Democracy Lyrics?
Post by: StoneTempleRoses on October 29, 2006, 07:58:46 PM
The ones on this site:

You think you've got it all locked up inside
And if you beat 'em enough they'll die
It's like a walk in a park from a cell
And now you're keeping you're own kind in hell
And if your Great Wall rots blame yourself
"As if your head were your ass you can tell"
And we're out of time...

What the hell is that!  :rofl:

Is that what he says in 2006?

I havent heard a good 2006 version but I know in 2002 it wasnt that

I'm not totally sure, but I think those were the lyrics in 2001.

Can somebody respond to this.  I swear I've heard a slight change in '06 compared to '02.  I can't recall, but I'm pretty certain there was a word here or there changed.  Either that or I didn't know the words back in '02!   :)

I like the '06 intro. and performance of the song much more now than in '02.   :yes:

The line is actually "while their arms reach out for your help"   : ok:

I thought it was 'and if you pray for us blame yourself
while their arm reaches out for your help
and I'm out of timeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Chinese Democracy

(note: he changes the wording every show)

It don?t really matter
You're gonna find out for yourself
No, it don't really matter
You're gonna leave this thing to
Somebody else

If they were missionaries
Real time visionaries
Sitting in a Chinese stoop
View my dis-infatu-ation
I know that I'm a classic case
Watch my disenchanted face
Blame it on the Falun Gong
They see the end and you can't hold on now

Cause it would take a lot more hate than you
To stop the fascination
Even with an iron fist
More than you got to rule the nation
When all I got is precious time

It don't really matter
Guess Ill keep it to myself.
No it don't really matter
It's time I look around for
Somebody else

Cause it would take a lot more time than you
Have got for masturbation
Even with an iron fist
More than you got to rule the nation
When all I got is precious time
More than you got to fool the nation
When all I got is precious time

(solo)

It don't really matter
I guess you'll find out for yourself
No it don't really matter
So you can hear it now from somebody else

You think you got it all locked up inside
And if you feed them enough they?ll die
It's like walk in the park from a cell
And now you're keeping your own kind in hell
And when your great wall rots
Blame yourself.
While their arms reach up for your help
And I?m outta time

I agree!!  New band or old band, this is one of the best Guns n Roses songs.  Its so fuckin heavy with the intro and then when it kicks in, and Axl sounds awsome.  It has everything a classic Guns song has, but with with a modern sound.  :yes: :peace:
