Nice Boys

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
