Rock n' Roll Nigger

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

Crazy and sleepy
Comanche lies beneath this netting of the skin
I wake up. I am lying peacefully I am lying peacefully and my knees are open to the sun
I desire him, and he is absolutely ready to seize me
In heart I am a Moslem; in heart I am an American
in heart I am Moslem, in heart I'm an American
artist, and I have no guilt. I seek pleasure
I seek the nerves under your skin
The narrow archway; the layers; the scroll of ancient lettuce
We worship the flaw, the belly
the belly, the mole on the belly of an exquisite whore
He spared the child and spoiled the rod
I have not sold myself to God.

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-and-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-and-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.


This song just rocks.

[Jonathan]

What the...

[MadmanDan]

Let's all start threads with the lyrics of what song we find "cool" at one moment, shall we?


  Oh, and in the wrong section too 

[Booker Floyd]

Ive been jamming to this song for 2 days straight...A terribly misguided song, but a catchy and rocking one as well.

[Steel_Angel]

  Oh Mah Gawd, like i'm sooo totally buggin' omg u just said the N word, not cool amigo, not cool? ?
seriously, i get in trouble for saying negro and u.. u...  i am appaled... 

[DEAD HORSE]

Is that a Marilyn Manson song?  Any way he did a GREAT cover of it!

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

Oh Mah Gawd, like i'm sooo totally buggin' omg u just said the N word, not cool amigo, not cool? ?
seriously, i get in trouble for saying negro and u.. u...? i am appaled...?

ahahah

DEAD HORSE > patti smith, but yeah MM's good.

Booker Floyd > so true. i wash my dishes dancin' to that song !

[Danny Top Hat]

Not cool.  Still, I understand if it's a really good riff.  I love One in a Million so who am I to talk?

[Aava]

Yes. Patti Smith was (and still is..) a white woman who called herself a nigger.

Rock N?Roll Nigger is about religion and "nigger" means all people "outside of society"  as much herself, as grandma, Jesus and Jimi Henrix. Not someone who?s black.


Melrose has done amazing version of it!

[alexh0618]

Not cool.  Still, I understand if it's a really good riff.  I love One in a Million so who am I to talk?

That song is horrible, at least One in a Million isn't meant to be racist.

[Aava]

at least One in a Million isn't meant to be racist.

What? This place has gone mad..

[anythinggoes]

can be found on the soundtrack to Natural Born Killers good tune not to sure of meaning though

[Bill 213]

Not cool.? Still, I understand if it's a really good riff.? I love One in a Million so who am I to talk?

That song is horrible, at least One in a Million isn't meant to be racist.

Hahahaha Denial isn't just a river in Egypt you know.  C'mon dude seriously, use your noggin.

Well I meant not AS racist as this song. When"nigger" is used in OIAM, it is not directed toward every black person.

What about immigrants and faggots?  Was he being picky there or just kind of winging it?  I think regardless of the context in which it was used, it was very racist.  Either way, I dont' mind, I enjoyed the song and you just have to interpret it as art because that's all it is.

[Danny Top Hat]

As far as i'm concerned they're both definately racist.  It doesn't necessarily make them bad songs though.

[Aava]

Stop being so hypocrite!

Maybe she could have found another way to express the idea, but this song got nothing to do with skin colour!

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

OIAM is way more racist, even if it's not racist after all, than that song.

[kockstar999]

this is a good tune... both versions... i knew when i saw the title of the thread that some of you would bash it and say it was racisit and cry like a bunch of bitches about it...

[Danny Top Hat]

Stop being so hypocrite!

How am I being a hypocrite?  Please explain because I am baffled at that.
