[Verse 1]
Found a head and an arm in the garbage can
Don't know why I'm here
Livin' on the run for oh so long
I gotta go collect

[Chorus]
Double talkin' jive, get the money, motherfucker
'Cause I got no more patience
Double talkin' lies
No more patience, man

[Verse 2]
Back in town, an' a all new friends
They sayin', "How you been?"
Fucked up, and out of place
That's how I felt back then

[Chorus]
Double talkin' jive, get the money, motherfucker
'Cause I got no more patience
Double talkin' liar (Lies)
No more patience, man
You dig what I'm sayin'?

[Guitar Solo]

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.
