Duff McKagan Lyrics
"Seattle Head"

When I was a young, I had a dream
movin' to the city sight unseen
19 years of age I'm packing my bags Hollywood was all the rage
I came to you in 1984
You showed me in, then you shut the door
It didn't take me long to learn to play the game
A kick in the head always feels the same

Los Angeles, you're a fuckin whore
Hollywood, you're an open sore

I played it well, and I played it fast
Livin' slow was in the past
Chicks and drugs and gettin' burnt
Just a few of the things I learnt'
Got sick and tired of bein' scared as hell
A wasted man, just a shell of myself
But that was then, and this is now
My pretty baby, I've changed somehow

Los angeles, you've lost you're grip
Drugs and lies and whores suckin dick

I don't know if I could do things differently
L.A.'s had me for so long
When I look I can see things differently
What doesn't kill me makes me strong
makes me strong
strong
strong

Los Angeles, I didn't sell my soul to you
Los Angeles, you thought you would kill me
you would kill me
You thought you could take me down
you would kill me
Fuck that, power to me
yeah!

Los Angeles, you're a fuckin whore
A kick in the head

I don't know if I could do it differently
L.A. had me for so long
When I look I can see things differently
I get up I come out and now I'm strong
and now I'm strong

Sometimes it goes like this
Sometimes it's the only way to learn
A kick in the head
A kick in the head
A kick in the head
A kick in the head
I wish you were dead
A kick in the head
A kick in the head
A kick in the head
Sometimes it goes like that
A kick in the head
