Nice Boys (1986 Sound City Session)

Lyrics

[Spoken Word Intro] No, we're not [Verse 1] She hit town like a rose in bloom Smellin' sweet, said, sweet perfume The color faded and the petals died Down in the city, no one cried [Pre-Chorus] In the streets, the garbage lies Protected by a million flies Roaches so big, you know that they got bones They moved in and made a tenement home [Chorus] Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll I'm not a nice boy [Verse 2] Sweet sixteen, she was fresh and clean Wanted so bad to be part of the scene Took the man, then she did the smack Paid the price layin' flat on her back [Pre-Chorus] Wanted bad to please the boys They ended up bein' just a toy Played so hard, burned her life away Lies were told and no promises made [Chorus] You know nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll I'm not a nice boy and I never was [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Young and fresh when she hit town Hot for kicks just to get her ass around Now she lays in a filthy room Kills the pain with a flick and a spoon [Pre-Chorus] In the streets, the garbage lies Protected by a million flies Roaches so big, you know that they got bones Moved in and made a tenement home [Chorus] Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys, they never play rock and roll [Bridge] Nice boys don't play rock and roll No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no baby Nice boys never play rock and roll I bet your mama said "Nice boys don't play rock and roll" [Outro] Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys don't play rock and roll Nice boys!
