[Verse 1]
You want to step into my world?
It's a socio-psychotic state of bliss
You've been delayed in the real world
How many times have you hit and missed?
Your cat-scan shows dis-figuration
I want to laugh myself to death
With a misfired synapse, with a bent configuration
I'll hold the line, while you gasp for breath

[Chorus]
You wanna talk to me? (So talk to me)
You wanna talk to me? (So talk to me)
You wanna talk to me? (So talk to me)
You wanna talk to me? (You can't talk to me)
You wanna talk to me? (Don't understand your sex)
You wanna talk to me? (You ain't been mind-fucked yet)

[Outro]
Let's do it
Let's do it
Let's do it
Oh, my distorted smile
Guess what I'm doin' now, uh

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.
