[Intro]
Oh

[Verse 1]
Kickin' back in the shadow
Got no need for the light
Who's sorry now, old-timer?
Look at how you've spent your life
Scrounging for change, to put some money in your pocket
My, how scratch does burn
Laughing at the suckers as you pissed it away
But I got the time, even I got the muscle
I got the need to lay it all on the line
I ain't afraid of your smokescreen hustle

[Chorus]
It's a perfect crime
Goddammit, it's a perfect crime
Motherfucker, it's a perfect crime
I said it's perfect

[Verse 2]
Keep the demons down and drag the skeletons out
I got a blind man following me, in chains
I said, he's fun to watch when the world has stopped
An' I think he's got something to say
You wanna fuck with me
Don't fuck with me
'Cause I'm what you'll be
So don't fuck with me
If you had a better sense
You'd just step aside from the bad side of me
Don't fuck with the bad side of me
Stay away from the bad side of me
Don't fuck with the bad side

[Bridge]
T minus 1:09 and counting
Ostracized, but that's alright
I was thinking about something myself
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Call on everybody who's got last rites
Said it's better if you locked them away
Running through the visions at the speed of light
Won't you let me be?
Motherfucker, just let me be
Goddammit, better let me be
Don't you know you better let me, aah!

[Chorus]
Perfect crime
Goddammit, it's a perfect crime
Motherfucker, it's a perfect crime
Don't you know, it's a perfect crime?

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.
