[Spoken Intro]
Hey fuckers! Suck on Guns N' fuckin' Roses!

[Verse 1]
I am reckless and feeling no pain
You know I have got no need to control
Living with the danger, I am always on the edge now
With million dollar visions that I hold
Living like this never ever tore my life apart
I know how to maintain and you know I know my part

[Verse 2]
On a holiday, a permanent vacation
I'm living on a cigarette with wine
I am never alone because I have got myself
Yes, I imitate myself all of the time
Living like this never ever tore my life apart
I know how to maintain because it is coming from my heart

[Bridge]
I lead a reckless life and I don't need your advice
I lead a reckless life and you know it's my only vice

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Reckless life, I lead a reckless life
I lead a reckless life and you know it's my only
Reckless life, I lead a reckless life
I lead a reckless life and you know it's my only

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.
