[Verse 1]
I see your sister in her Sunday dress
She's out to please, she pouts her best
She's out to take, no need to try
She's ready to make

[Chorus]
It's so easy, easy
When everybody's trying to please me, baby
It's so easy, easy
When everybody's trying to please me

[Verse 2]
Cars are crashing every night
I drink and drive everything's in sight
I make the fire, but I miss the firefight
I hit the bullseye every night

[Chorus]
It's so easy, easy
When everybody's trying to please me, baby
Yeah, it's so easy, easy
When everybody's trying to please me

[Post-Chorus]
It's so easy
But nothing seems to please me
It all fits so right
When I fade into the night
See me hit you, you fall down, huh

[Verse 3]
I see you standing there
You think you're so cool
Why don't you just
Fuck off

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
You get nothing for nothing if that's what you do
Turn around, bitch, I got a use for you
Besides, you ain't got nothing better to do
And I'm bored

[Chorus]
It's so easy, easy
When everybody's trying to please me, baby
Yeah, it's so easy, easy
When everybody's trying to please me

[Post-Chorus]
It's so easy
But nothing seems to please me
It all fits so right
When I fade into the night
So come with me
Don't ask me where 'cause I don't know
I'll try to please you
I ain't got no money, but it goes to show

[Chorus]
It's so easy, so fucking easy
It's so easy, so damn easy
It's so easy, oh, so fucking easy
It's so easy, yeah, so easy

[Outro]
It's so easy, so fucking easy
It's so easy, yeah!

Guns N’ Roses

Guns N' Roses was the most dangerous band in the world in the late 80s and early 90s. Led by singer Axl Rose and stylish guitarist Slash, they mixed the passion of blues, the heaviness of rock, and the attitude of punk, bringing forth a breath of fresh air to a music scene dominated by cheesy hair metal bands.

Their debut album, Appetite for Destruction, is the best selling debut of all-time. They outsold a headlining Aerosmith on their first major tour, released two double albums (Use Your Illusion I & II) simultaneously, and soon would play to audiences in excesses of 20,000 people.

However, cracks started forming in the band, as classic era drummer Steven Adler was fired from the band before the “Use Your Illusion” releases and founding rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin left abruptly during the ensuing tour. They were replaced by Matt Sorum and Gilby Clarke, respectively, with keyboardist Dizzy Reed joining the band and expanding the group’s sound.
