"Oh My God"
(Tobias/Reed/Rose)

The first original song by Guns N' Roses since the 1991's Use Your Illusion I & II albums.

Lyrics:

It's not as you're thinking
Or as you've imagined
To live in the shade
Of beliefs that were fashioned
To leave you in slavery
And drain out your soul
But what can i do when
There's so many liars
That crawl through your veins
Like millions of spiders
That seek out their victims
And who is the wiser
Watch out
Gotcha -

Oh my God, I can't deny this
I've been taught just to kill and fight this
don't bury it deeper
where nobody can find it
like nobody wanted to know

so give it away like they're not gonna fuck you
how long can you beg them
to come back and haunt you
to run past your demons
and carry you to some place
you're startin' to bleed
and they don't just give up
before it's too late
what will you offer in ways of healing
oh, I'm so confused

confused
misused

Oh my God, I can't deny this
I've been taught just to kill and fight this
don't bury it deeper
where nobody can find it
'cause nobody wanted to know

ooh, if it opens your eyes
well, just don't bet on a strong compromise
I was willing to be lost in the shuffle
if only you had let me know

ooh, if it opens your eyes
well, then just bet on a little less compromise
I was willing to be lost in the shadows
if only you had let me know

and they won't give in
'cause they know what they're after
I'll give you them days
like it's all that would matter

Oh my God, I can't deny this
I've been taught just to murder and fight this
don't bury it deeper
where nobody can find it
cause, nobody wanted to know

ooh, if it opens your eyes
well, then you can bet
on a little good compromise
I was willing to be lost in the shuffle
if only you had let me know

ooh, when they're done with the show
like the tide out on the ocean
the wave's already set in motion
the only one in the game who's lost is you!
