Chinese Rocks Lyrics
Somebody called me on the phone
they said hey, is Dee Dee home
do you wanna take a walk
do ya wanna go and cop
do ya wanna go get some chinese rocks? ( do you wanna go suck some chinese cock- live show changes)
I'm living on chinese rocks
all my best things are in hock
I'm living on chinese rocks
everything is in the pawn shop
The plaster's falling off the wall
my girlfriend's crying in the shower stall
It's hot as a bitch
I shoulda been rich
But I'm just diggin this chinese ditch
repeat chorus
repeat verse two
repeat chorus 2x
they said hey, is Dee Dee home
do you wanna take a walk
do ya wanna go and cop
do ya wanna go get some chinese rocks? ( do you wanna go suck some chinese cock- live show changes)
all my best things are in hock
I'm living on chinese rocks
everything is in the pawn shop
my girlfriend's crying in the shower stall
It's hot as a bitch
I shoulda been rich
But I'm just diggin this chinese ditch

Dee Dee Ramone wrote this. Richard Hell wrote, like, one line...Johnny Thunders and Jerry Nolan had dick all nothing to do with writing this song. this song was written in response to Richard Hell wanting to write a song about heroin that was better than the Velvet Underground's song "Heroin."
in Dee Dee's biography, Dee Dee talks about this song: "When Jerry (Nolan, of the Heartbreakers) was over at my place one day, we did some dope and then I Played him my song, and he took it with him to a Heartbreakers' rehearsal. When Leee Childers started managing them, and got them a record deal, "Chinese Rocks" was their first single of LAMF."
"...it was dedicated to the boys on Norfolk Street, I can understand that, but the credits are false. Johnny Thunders ranked on me for fourteen years, trying to make out like he wrote the song. What a lowlife maneuver by those guys! By then, I was really too fucked up to care."
