Paradise City
Guns and roses live Lyrics

Take me down to the paradise city
I want to go to the place where everything is perfect and wonderful.

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
I want to be in a place where everything looks amazing and where the girls are beautiful

Take me home (oh, won't you please take me home)
I want to feel like I belong in this place and that it is my home.

Just a urchin livin' under the street
I am a person who has nothing, and I live on the street.

I'm a hard case that's tough to beat
I am a strong and resilient person who can endure any challenge.

I'm your charity case so buy me something to eat
I am a person who needs help, so please give me some food to eat.

I'll pay you at another time
I promise to repay you for your kindness at some point in the future.

Take it to the end of the line
Please give me your help until the very end.

Rags to riches or so they say
It is often said that a person can start with nothing and become a wealthy person.

Ya gotta keep pushin' for the fortune and fame
To achieve success, you need to work hard and strive for riches and recognition.

You know it's all a gamble when it's just a game
Success is never guaranteed, and there's always a risk involved when trying to achieve it.

Ya treat it like a capital crime
Some people approach success with such seriousness that they make it seem like a crime punishable by death.

Everybody's doin' the time
Everyone is trying to achieve success, and they're putting in a lot of time and effort to make it happen.

Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
I feel trapped and suffocated by the city's pollution and toxic environment.

Why I'm here I can't quite remember
I feel lost and unable to comprehend why I'm in this situation.

The surgeon general says it's hazardous to breathe
The authorities warn that the air is dangerous to breathe, and it could be harmful to people's health.

I'd have another cigarette but I can't see
I am so affected by the pollution that even smoking, which is bad for my health, seems less hazardous than the air.

Tell me who you're gonna believe
There are so many conflicting messages and sources of information, who can you trust to tell you the truth?

Captain America's been torn apart
Even a hero like Captain America can fall apart.

Now he's a court jester with a broken heart
He is now a person who nobody takes seriously and is suffering after his downfall.

He said 'turn me around and take me back to the start'
He wants to go back to where it all began and try again.

I must be losing my mind 'are you blind?'
I cannot believe what I am seeing, and I wonder if others refuse to acknowledge what is happening.

I've seen it all a million times
I have witnessed so many people rise and fall; it has become mundane and repetitive.

So far away
The ideal place that everyone is striving for feels so out of reach.

Captain America's been torn apart
Even a hero like Captain America can fall apart.

Now he's a court jester with a broken heart
He is now a person who nobody takes seriously and is suffering after his downfall.

Oh, won't you please take me home, yeah yeah
I want to feel like I belong and be comfortable in a place that makes me happy.

I wanna go, I wanna know
I want to experience and learn new things.

I wanna see how good it can be
I want to experience the best that life has to offer.

Take me down, lead me 'round
Please guide me towards this place of perfection.

I wanna see, what a woman can be
I want to experience and understand women better.

I want to take you home
I want to be with you forever.

Oh, won't you please take me home
Please take me to the place where I belong and where I can be happy.
