Title: Chinese Democracy (Song) Lyrics
Post by: Genesis on June 09, 2007, 02:20:45 AM
I was just going through the lyrics for CD on this site and I believe they are wrong. Here's what I feel is the correct version. The other songs have mistakes as well. Maybe I'll transcribe them later.

Chinese Democracy

It don't really matter
Gonna find out for yourself
No, it don't really matter
Gonna leave this thing to, somebody else

If they were missionaries
Real time visionaries
Sitting in a Chinese stew
To view my disinfatuation

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 end the fascination
Even with an iron fist
All they've got to rule the nation
But all I've got is precious time

It don't really matter
Guess I'll keep it to myself
Said, 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 your iron fist
All they've got to rule the nation
But all we've got is precious time
All they've got to fool the nation
But all I've got is precious time

<Buckethead 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'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
When your Great Wall rots blame yourself
Like if your ass was your head you can tell
And we're out of time...

I think that's pretty much correct except I've heard the Like if your ass was your head you can tell line as If your eyes were in your head you could tell. You may be right though. It's a bit difficult to make ou all of it.

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

If they were missionaries
Real time visionaries
Sitting in a Chinese stew
To view my dis-infa-tu-ation
I know that I'm a classic case
Watch my disenchanted face
Blame it on the Falun Gong
They've seen 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 your iron fist
More than you got to rule the nation
But all I got is precious time

It don't really matter
I guess I'll keep it to myself
Said, 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 your iron fist
More than you got to fool the nation
When all I got is precious time
More than you got to rule the nation
When all I got is precious time

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 beat them enough, they'll die
It's like a walk in the park from a cell
And now you're keeping your own kind in hell
And if you pray for us, blame yourself
While their arms reach out for your help
And you're out of time

^ These should be correct.
