Out Ta Get Me (1986 Sound City Session)Guns N’ Roses

Songwriter: Steven Alder Izzy Stradlin Slash Duff McKagan Axl Rose

Been hidin' out
And layin' low
It's nothing new ta me
Well you can always find a place to go
If you can keep your sanity

They break down the doors
And they rape my rights but
They won't touch me
They scream and yell
And fight all night
You can't tell me
I lose my head
I close my eyes
They won't touch me
'Cause I got somethin'
I been buildin' up inside
I'm all ready to go

They're out ta get me
They won't catch me
'Cause I'm innocent
They won't break me

Sometimes it's easy to forget where you're goin'
Sometimes it's harder to leave
And every time you think you know just what you're doin'
That's when your troubles exceed

They push me in a corner
Just to get me to fight but
They won't touch me
They preach and yell and fight all night
You can't tell me
I lose my head
I close my eyes
They won't touch me
I got somethin' I been buildin' up inside
For so fuckin' long

They're out ta get me
They won't catch me
'Cause I'm innocent
They won't break me

No, no no no
No, no no no
Nah nah nah
Let me see you try!

Some people got a chip on their shoulder
And some would say it was me
But I didn't buy that a fifth of whiskey that you gave me
So I'd be quick to disagree

They're out to get me
They won't catch me
I'm fucking innocent
They won't break me

They're out to get me
They won't catch me
'Cause I'm innocent
So, you can suck me
Take that one to heart

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.
