Oh My God Lyrics
It's not as you're thinking
Or as you've imagined
To live in the shade
Of beliefs that were fashioned
To leave you in slavery
And drain out your soul
But what can I do when
There's so many liars
That crawl through your veins
Like millions of spiders
That seek out their victims
And who is the wiser
Watch out
Gotcha
Oh my god
I can't deny this
I've been taught just to kill and fight this
To bury it deeper where nobody can find it
Like nobody wanted to know
So give it away
Like they're not gonna fuck you
How long can you bear him
To come back and haunt you
To burn past your feelings
And cause you to suffer
You're starting to bleed
They don't give you up
Before its too late
What will you offer
In way of a healing
I'm so confused, abused, misused
Oh my god
I can't deny this
I've been taught just to kill and fight this
To bury it deeper where nobody can find it
Like nobody wouldn't know
Ooh, if it opens your eyes
This is better than a strong compromise
I was willing to be lost in the shuffle
If only you had let me know
Ooh, if it opens your eyes
This is better than the last compromise
I was willing to be lost in the shadows
If only you had let me know
And they wont give in
Cause they know what they're after
A kick in the face
Like its all that would matter
Ohh
Oh my god
I can't deny this
I've been taught just to murder and fight this
To bury it deeper where no one can find it
Cuz nobody wouldn't know
Ooh, if it opens your eyes
This is better than a good compromise
I was willing to be lost in the shuffle
If only you had let me know
Ooh, well its on with the show
Like the tide down on the ocean
The waves already set in motion
The only one in the game that's lost is you
Or as you've imagined
To live in the shade
Of beliefs that were fashioned
To leave you in slavery
And drain out your soul
But what can I do when
There's so many liars
That crawl through your veins
Like millions of spiders
That seek out their victims
And who is the wiser
Watch out
Gotcha
I can't deny this
I've been taught just to kill and fight this
To bury it deeper where nobody can find it
Like nobody wanted to know
Like they're not gonna fuck you
How long can you bear him
To come back and haunt you
To burn past your feelings
And cause you to suffer
You're starting to bleed
They don't give you up
Before its too late
What will you offer
In way of a healing
I'm so confused, abused, misused
I can't deny this
I've been taught just to kill and fight this
To bury it deeper where nobody can find it
Like nobody wouldn't know
This is better than a strong compromise
I was willing to be lost in the shuffle
If only you had let me know
Ooh, if it opens your eyes
This is better than the last compromise
I was willing to be lost in the shadows
If only you had let me know
Cause they know what they're after
A kick in the face
Like its all that would matter
Ohh
I can't deny this
I've been taught just to murder and fight this
To bury it deeper where no one can find it
Cuz nobody wouldn't know
This is better than a good compromise
I was willing to be lost in the shuffle
If only you had let me know
Like the tide down on the ocean
The waves already set in motion
The only one in the game that's lost is you

This song is about societal oppression and the effects it can have on an individual. People are taught to suppress their emotions and thoughts in order to maintain the status quo, which never works, not to mention it causes people to suffer and causes them to rebel. In short, it's about the constant struggle between the individual and society.
love it
axl sounds great
One of the best Gn'R songs. I know everyone hates it because it's the new lineup, but I love it. I think it's great angry music - similar to Don't Damn Me, Back Off Bitch, Get in the Ring, etc.
Oh my god I liek this song.And since this song is made by the new lineup then my confidence in Chinese Democracy rose.

Axl is, and has always been the heart and soul of GNR, if he wasnt, how could he be putting out these awesome songs?
Honestly I don't understand what the big deal is. I mean I know nigger and fagot are very offensive words but you don't see anyone making when a black man uses "Cracker" or "Whitey" Generally it's a good song and people really need to read into what Axel really means as oposed to hearing the two offensive words and tuning out the rest of the song. Axel even said that the song was writen out of bad experiences he had and that the song was almost ment to be ironic to see how many people would act against it.
^I think you're looking for the next song down, dude.
drumming is amazing in this song.
