Lyrics[edit]
And the world spreads its legs
For another fuckin' star
Cause i am the all-american antichrist
I was made in america
And america hates me for what i am
I am your shit
You should be ashamed of what you have eaten
I'm a rock and roll nigger
Baby was a black sheep
Baby was a whore
Baby's gotten big,
And baby's getting bigger
Baby got somethin'
Baby want more
Baby, baby, baby was a rock and roll nigger
How do you like the world around you?
Do you like what you see?
How do you like the world around you?
Ready to be...
Outside of society
Waiting for me
Outside of society
Is where i wanna be
Baby was a black sheep
Baby was a whore
Baby got big,
And baby's getting bigger
Baby got a gun
Got her finger on the trigger
Baby, baby, baby was a rock and roll nigger
Outside of society
Waiting for me
Outside of society
Is where i wanna be
Nigger, rock and roll nigger
I'm a rock and roll nigger
This is your world in which we grow,
And we will grow to hate you
We will grow to hate you
We will grow, we will grow
We will grow to hate you
We will grow, we will grow
We will grow to hate you
1, 2, 3, 4
I was lost in the valley of pleasure
I was lost in the infinite sea
I was lost and begging for pleasure
And this world is waiting for me
Jimi hendrix was a nigger
Jesus christ and grandma, too
Brian warner (what a nigger)
Nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger
Outside of society
Waiting for me
Outside of society
Is where i wanna be
Outside of society
Waiting for me
Outside of society
Is where i wanna be
