[Spoken Word Intro]

[?], Wembley!

You wanted the best, but they didn't fucking make it

Here's what you get, from Hollywood

Guns N' Roses!


[Intro: Matt Sorum, Axl Rose]

One, two

One, two, three, four

Oh!


[Verse 1]

Kickin' back in the shadow

Got no need for the light

Who's sorry now, old-timer?

Look at how you've spent your life

Scrounging for change to put some money in your pocket

My, how scratch does burn

Laughing at the suckers as you piss it away

But I got the time and I got the muscle

I got the need to lay it all on the line

I ain't afraid of your smokescreen hustle


[Chorus]

It's a perfect crime

Goddamnit, it's a perfect crime

Motherfucker, it's a perfect crime

I said it's perfect


[Verse 2]

Keep the demons down and drag the skeletons out

I got a blind man following me in chains

He's fun to watch when the world has stopped

I think he got something to say

Wanna fuck with me?

Don't fuck with me

I'm what you'll be

So don't fuck with me

If you had better sense

You'd just step aside from the


[Chorus]

Bad side of me

Don't fuck with the bad side of me

Stay away from the bad side of me

Don't fuck with the bad side


[Bridge]

(T minus 1:09 and counting)

Ostracized

But that's alright

I was thinking about something myself

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 3]

Call on everybody who got last rites

Better if you locked them away

Running through the visions at the speed of light


[Chorus]

Let me be

Goddamnit, just let me be

Motherfucker, just let me be

Don't you know you better let me


[Outro]

Perfect crime

Goddamnit, it's a perfect crime

Mother fucker, it's a perfect crime

Perfect crime!
