Nice Boys - Rose Tattoo
She hit town like
A rose in bloom
Smelling sweet
Sweet perfume
The color faded
And the petals died
Down in the city
No one cried
The streets the
Garbage lies
Protected by
A million flies
The roaches so big
You know that
They got bones
They moved in and made
A tenement home
I said nice boys
Don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play
Rock and roll
I am not a nice boy
Sweet sixteen
She was fresh and clean
Wanted so bad to be part
Of the scene
She met the man and
She did the smack
Now she paid the price laying
Flat on her back
Wanted so bad just
To please the boys
They ended up
Just being a toy
Played so hard
Burned her life away
Lies were told
No promises made
Nice boys
Don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play
Rock and roll
I am not a nice boy
And I never was
Young and fresh
When she hit town
Hot for kicks
Just to get around
But now
She lays in a filthy room
She kills the pain
With a flick and a spoon
And in the streets
The garbage lies
Protected by
A million flies
The roaches so big
They got bones
Moved in and made
A tenement home
And say
Nice boys don't play
Rock and roll
Nice boys don't play
Rock and roll
Nice boys don't play
Rock and roll
Nice boys don't play
Rock and roll
Nice boys don't play
Rock and roll
Nice boys don't play
Rock and roll
Nice boys don't play
Rock and roll
Nice boys never play
Rock and roll
