 I see facesand traces of home,
 Back in new york city
 
 
 So you think  i'm a tough kid?
 Is that  what you heard
 well i like  to see some action
 and it gets  into my blood
 Oh, let  me out of pontiac
 when i was just  sevnteen
 I had  to get it out of me
 If you know  what  i mean, what i mean.
 
 
 
Ah,  you say i must  b crazy
cause  i don't care who i hit  who  i hit
 cause i  know its me thats hitting out
 and i'm  not full of shit
down  by my bottle
 filled up high  with gasoline
 you can tell  by the night fires
 where rael  has  been has been
 
 Doct  D (7 fr.) *
 As i cuddld the por - cu - pine
 Doct  D (7 fr.) *  Doct
 he said i had none to blame, but me
 Doct  D (7 fr.) *
 Held my heart, deep in hair
 Doct (7)*
 Time to shave, shave it off, it off
 No time for romantic escape,
 When your  filthy heart is ready for rape. No
 No time for romantic escape,
 When your  filthy heart is ready for rape.
Off  we go, off  we go  off  we go
 Your sitting  in your comfort
 you don't  believe i'm real
 well yo cannot  buy protection
 for the way  that  i feel
 Your progrssive hypocrites
hand  ou their trash
 it was mine  in the first place
 so i'll burn  it  to ash.
 And i've taken  all the strongest meets
 and laid  them down in coloured sheets
laid  them down  in  coloured sheets
who  needs illusion
 Of love  and affection
 when your out  walking in the streets
 your mainline  connection,  connection.
 Doct  D (7 fr.) *
 As i cuddld the por - cu - pine
 Doct  D (7 fr.) *  Doct
 he said i had none to blame, but me
 Doct  D (7 fr.) *
 Held my heart, deep in hair
 Doct (7)*
 Time to shave, shave it off, it off
 No time for romantic escape,
 When your  filthy heart is ready for rape. No
 No time for romantic escape,
 When your  filthy heart is ready for rape.
 No time for romantic escape,
 When your  filthy heart is ready for rape. No
 No time for romantic escape,
 When your  filthy heart is ready for rape.
 No time.
 Back in New York City
   Repeat  ad lib.
