The Black Crowes – Sting Me (Slow) lyrics

If you feel like a riot, then don't you deny it 
Put your good foot forward 
No need for heroics I just want you to show it 
Now's the time to shine 
Your independence is a half ass deliverance 
The train left the station 
The recognition of the same old condition 
Your symptoms showing through 

Well regardless of the truth 
You still act so aloof 
In the face of your judge & jury 
You have the nerve to say not guilty 

But can you sting me 
Can you sting me 
Right to my rotten bones 

Well the bells ring out for the crimes of the century 
By courtesy of your mother 
The signs reads welcome to the valley of discovery 
Look at what money can buy 
Sons & daughters better open your eyes 
Tell me what you're seeing 
This submission is a tired tradition 
It's everyone's sacrifice 

Well believe you me 
I've got nothing up my sleeve 
Except a heart and a chip on my shoulder 
Yes I'm young and don't like getting older 

Yeah but can you sting me 
Can you sting me 
Right to my rotten bones 

Come on my sweet little thing 
What new things can you show me today 
I got one question 
I believe it's subjective 
What is a wasp without her sting?

I don't want to sound bitter 
Yeah you touch me just like murder 
Living ain't so easy 
When all I want from you is to sting me 

Can you sting me
