Genesis — Back in N.Y.C.

[Intro] I see faces and traces of home Back in New York City, huh [Verse 1] So you think I'm a tough kid? Is that what you heard? Yeah, well, I like to see some action And it gets into my blood [Verse 2] They call me the trail blazer Rael, electric razor I'm the pitcher in a chain gang We don't believe in pain 'Cause we're only as strong Yes, we're only as strong As the weakest link in the chain [Verse 3] Let me out of Pontiac When I was just seventeen I had to get it out of me If you know what I mean, what I mean [Verse 4] Aaaah! You say I must be crazy 'Cause I don't care who I hit, who I hit But I know it's me that's hitting out And I'm, I'm not full of shit I don't care who I hurt I don't care who I do wrong This is your mess I'm stuck in I really don't belong [Verse 5] When I take out my bottle Filled up high with gasoline You can tell by the night fires Where Rael has been, has been [Pre-Chorus] As I cuddled the porcupine He said I had none to blame but me Held my heart deep in hair Time to shave, shave it off, it off [Chorus] No time for romantic escape When your fluffy heart is ready for rape (No!) No time for romantic escape When your fluffy heart is ready for rape (No!) No time for romantic escape When your fluffy heart is ready for rape (No!) [Bridge] Off we go Off we go Off we go Off we go [Verse 6] You're sitting in your comfort You don't believe I'm real You cannot buy protection From the way that I feel Your progressive hypocrites Hand out their trash But it was mine in the first place So I'll burn it to ash [Verse 7] And I've tasted all the strongest meats And laid them down in coloured sheets Laid them down in coloured sheets Who needs illusion of love and affection When you're out walking in the streets With your mainline connection, connection? [Pre-Chorus] As I cuddled the porcupine He said I had none to blame but me Held my heart deep in hair Time to shave, shave it off, it off [Chorus] No time for romantic escape When your fluffy heart is ready for rape (No!) No time for romantic escape When your fluffy heart is ready for rape (No!) No time for romantic escape When your fluffy heart is ready for rape [Outro] (No time)
