Nice Boys

She hit town, a rose in bloom

Smell the sweet, sweet perfume

The color faded and the petals died

Down in the city, no one cried

Out in the streets, the garbage lies

Protected by a million flies

With roaches so big, they got bones

They moved in and made themselves at home

I said nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll

Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll

I'm not a nice boy

Sweet sixteen, she was fresh and clean

Wanted so bad to be part of the scene

She dropped the man and said she did the smack

Now, she pays the price layin' down on her back

Wanted so bad just to please the boys

Ended up bein' just a toy

Played so hard, burned her life away

Lies were told, no promises made

Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll

Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll

I'm not a nice boy and I never was

Young and fresh, when she hit town

I'm hot for kicks, it's just to get around

And now she lays in a filthy room

She kills the pain with a flick of the spoon

And in the streets, the garbage lies

Protected by a million flies

With roaches so big, they got bones

They moved in and made themselves at home

I said nice boys

Don't play rock 'n' roll

Nice boys

Don't play rock 'n' roll

Nice boys

Don't play rock 'n' roll

Nice boys

Don't play rock 'n' roll

Ow, nice boys

Don't play rock 'n' roll

Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll

Nice boys don't play rock 'n' roll

Nice boys, they never play rock 'n' roll
