Guns N' Roses-One In A Million w/Lyrics

1,2,1,2,3,4
[Whistle]
Guess I needed sometime to get away
I needed some piece of mind
Some piece of mind that'll stay
So I thumbed it down to Sixth and L.A. ---
So I thumbed it down to nine o six ten L.A. ("90610")
Maybe a Greyhound could be my way

Police and Niggers, that's right
Get out of my way
Don't need to buy none of your
Gold chains today
I don't need no bracelets
Clamped in front of my back
Just need my ticket; 'til then
Won't you cut me some slack?

You're one in a million
Yeah, that's what you are
You're one in a million, babe
You're a shooting star
Maybe someday we'll see you
Before you make us cry
You know we tried to reach you
But you were much too high
Much too high, much too high,
Much too high, yes, ow!

Immigrants and faggots
They make no sense to me
They come to our country
And think they'll do as they please
Like start some mini Iran,
Or spread some fuckin' disease
They talk so many goddamn ways
It's all Greek to me
Well some say I'm lazy
And others say that's just me
Some say I'm crazy
I guess I'll always be
[From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/g/guns-n_...]
But it's been such a long time
Since I knew right from wrong
It's all the means to an end, I
I keep it movin' along

You're one in a million
Oo, you're a shooting star
You're one in a million, babe
You know that you are
Maybe someday we'll see you, Oo
oh, Before you make us cry
You know we tried to reach you
But you were much too high
Much too high, Oo, much too high
Yeah,
Much too high, huh, no, no, oh
Ow!

Radicals and Racists
Don't point your finger at me
I'm a small town white boy
Just tryin' to make ends meet
Don't need your religion
Don't watch that much T.V.
Just makin' my livin', baby
Well that's enough for me

You're one in a million
Yeah that's what you are
You're one in a million, babe
You're a shooting star
Maybe someday we'll see you
Before you make us cry
You know we tried to reach you
But you were much too high
Much too high, ow, much too high,
Much too high, much too high
Yeah, yeee, yeah, yeee, igh!
Ow! Much too high
(Oh, much too high, ah,
much too high, ah, much too high
much too high, ow, much too high)

hahaha...why do people think this song is racist? So you guys hear "faggots" "niggers" and "Immigrants" but for some reason you seem to completly over look the REST of this 6 minute song, at least pay some attention to the chrous. "You're one in a million

Oo, you're a shooting star

You're one in a million, babe

You know that you are

Maybe someday we'll see you, Oo

oh, Before you make us cry

You know we tried to reach you

But you were much too high

Much too high."

not racist just talking the real

[cordovamichelle65]

one of very few songs i like from G @ R it rocks!

Izzy Stradlin is such a great guitarist, fills the spaces while leaving plenty of room to breathe.

[Thetreeofstrife]

There were 6 groups mentioned in this song, but everyone forgets about the hard working law enforcement community.("Radicals and Racists" are also overlooked, but they like feeling picked on)

Imagine you're cop in 1988. After a hard shift you put on the new Lies EP to unwind, you're just about to get a beer from the fridge and BANG......youve been maginalised in a song.

If it was me I would be very upset. Especially in 4 years time when they try to foist that twin album shit on me.

[nekofucker]

Be that as it may, you have to understand that some people can't even listen to every lyric let alone a back story.

[jocelyn lea]

so true i always laugh at 2nd verse,they just put it out there - cause so many relate a love em for speakin real !!!!- Classic too funny !!

[Braden Carlson]

Really the chorus isn't what justifies it. The backstory is. It's about his first experience stepping off a greyhound into LA.

[Happyemeal Toy]

The half of America that he offended doesn't belong here. Well the "undocumented" ones
