Guns N' Rosesis an iconic American hard rockband that gained immense popularity in the late '80s and early '90s. The band is often miscredited as " hair metal" based on their original fashion style, but on subsequent albums revealed a heavy influence from bands in the vein of Aerosmithand The Rolling Stones, as well as many other artists including Queen, Led Zeppelin, AC/DCand Metallica. The music on their first album was, at the time, compared to early Aerosmith due to lead guitarist Slash's bluesy riffs. They are also the most successful sleaze metalact, with other bands in the genre such as Faster Pussycatand L.A. Gunsnever breaking into the mainstream with near as much success as Guns N' Roses.

Paradise City Lyrics

Guns N' Roses

Just a' urchin livin' under the street

I'm a hard case that's tough to beat

I'm your charity case

So buy me somethin' to eat

I'll pay you at another time

Take it to the end of the line

Ragz to richez or so they say

Ya gotta keep pushin' for the fortune and fame

It's all a gamble

When it's just a game

Ya treat it like a capital crime

Evrybody's doin' their time

Chorus:

Take me down

To the paradise city

Where the grass is green

And the girls are pretty

Take me home

Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber

Why i'm here i can't quite remember

The surgeon general says it's hazardous to breathe

I'd have another cigarette but i can't see

Tell me who ya gonna believe

Chorus

So far away

So far away

So far away

So far away

Captain america's been torn apart

Now he's a court jester with a broken heart

He said -

Turn me around and take me back to the start

I must be losin' my mind - "are you blind?"

I've seen it all a million times

Chorus
