Rock 'n' Roll Nigger (Patti Smith cover) 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 & 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....
(Chorus: 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 & roll nigger.
(Chorus)
Nigger.
Rock & 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.
(Repeat)
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 grandpa, too.
Brian Warner (what a nigger!)
Nigger, nigger, nigger nigger nigger!
(Chorus Twice)
Yeah! Yeah!
Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!
FUCK YOU!
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 & 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....
(Chorus: 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 & roll nigger.
(Chorus)
Nigger.
Rock & 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.
(Repeat)
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 grandpa, too.
Brian Warner (what a nigger!)
Nigger, nigger, nigger nigger nigger!
(Chorus Twice)
Yeah! Yeah!
Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!
FUCK YOU!

"If you think the word "Nigger" is a racial slur, the only racist here is you. " - 1996
EXACTLY, a word is only what you want it to mean.
This song is basically say your a rock n roll outcast... and it is common for my friends to use the term rock n roll nigger, even Nikki Sixx of motley crue has used it.
freakishfae, InciTe, and vandalized are fucking stupid, narrow-minded assholes.
This isn't racist. You morons who think this is racist are the only racist ones. And you are over fucking sensitive.
Personally i am against racism, but i am against REAL racism. Not the word nigger when it's used as a metaphor and not in a racist context.
nigger here means outcast
You know, when I originally saw this song title on the track listing for "Smells Like Children", I became very surprised, in that the use of such slang is unlike Manson. After seeing the lyrics, though, I can respect the song a great deal. And one note: for those who don't know, "Brian Warner" is Manson's real name.
I might like this song, if it didn't have any racial slurs in the title. For some reason, this song made me lose a bit of respect for manson. Im not sure if he meant it that way... but he could have been more tastedul and used a different word.
this is a cover. the original song is by patti smith, i think. it's just not what it seems to be about. it's about being different and not fitting into society. nigger is just a symbol for that.
as many others have stated " nigger" is stated for an outcast. manson is just tryin to show that there is a world full of accepted people with no room for an outcast.
yes, it IS patti smith. you are correct. yea!
Patti Smith wrote this song, not Marilyn Manson. It's a cover. Marilyn Manson is singing about racism here and he is talking about how black people are considered outcasts in American society due to all of the fucking racists that exist and who really need to change their ignornat chicken shit views.
PS: Scissorquis, SmMeTh, and all you others racist here are total fucking camel humping little dick buttmonkeys. Change your opinions already. Racism is completly stupid. I'm not sure as to what 1996 is getting at but i don't really like what they're saying either.
InceTi you made the most sense around here
