Lyrics
And the world spreads its legs... 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 & 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 & 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 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
