Patti Smith, Patti Smith Group - Rock N Roll Nigger

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 Lenny
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
