[Intro]
Oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh

[Verse 1]
Riad and the Bedouins had a plan and thought they'd win
But I don't give a fuck 'bout them 'cause I am crazy

[Chorus]
Oh, my salvation and all my frustrations
Caught in the lies, no one had wove as well
Somewhere in time where only I could tell, ooh

[Bridge]
Oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
Riad and the Bedouins and that's a war that you can't win
But I have had enough of them and who blame me
Sands of time and desert winds, Nomads and Barbarians
I won't bend my will to them, you aggravate me

[Chorus]
Oh, my salvation and all my frustrations
Caught in the lies, no one had wove as well
Somewhere in time where only I could tell
Ooh, sweet salvation, like all my frustrations
Caught up in lies, no one had wove as well
Somewhere in time where only I could tell, ooh

[Bridge]
Oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Oh, sweet salvation and all my frustrations
Caught in the lies if you had wove so well
Somewhere in time, then only I could tell, oh

[Outro]
Oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Riad and the Bedouins (Oh-oh, oh)
Had a plan and thought they'd win (Oh-oh, oh)
Riad and the Bedouins (Oh-oh, oh)
Crossed the line and lost again (Oh-oh, oh)

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.
