from the songs album Lies
She hit town like a rose in bloom, smellin' sweet, said sweet perfume
The color faded and the petals died, down in the city, no one cried
In 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'm 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, paid the price layin' 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
You know nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
I'm 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
You know the roaches so big you know that they got bones
Moved in and made a tenement home
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
No,no,no,no,no,no,no,no baby
Nice boys don't play rock and roll, nice boys don't play rock and roll
I bet you mama said: '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
