[Intro]
Yeah!

[Verse 1]
I'm from South Philadelphia
I'm from Avenue C
I've seen empty hands that was waiting to freeze
I'm from the Bowery, too!

[Chorus]
I don't care 'bout you, fuck you
I don't care 'bout you, fuck you

[Verse 2]
I've seen Hollywood Boulevard, welfare hotel
And I spent the night in jail at the Wilcox Hotel

[Chorus]
I don't care 'bout you, fuck you
I don't care 'bout you

[Verse 3]
I've seen an old man have a heart attack in Manhattan
Well, he died while we just stood there looking at him
Ain't he cute?

[Chorus]
I don't care 'bout you, fuck you
I don't care 'bout you

[Verse 4]
I seen men rolling drunks, I seen bodies in the streets
I saw a man who was sleeping in his own puke
And a man with no legs crawling down
Fifth Street trying just to get something to eat

[Chorus]
I don't care 'bout you, fuck you
I don't care 'bout you, fuck you
I don't care 'bout you, fuck you
I don't care 'bout you, fuck you

[Outro]
Uh, that hurt, man
Alright
Perfect

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.
