The Rolling Stones - When the Whip Comes Down lyrics
[The Rolling Stones - When the Whip Comes Down lyrics]
Yeah, Mama and Papa told me
I was crazy to stay
I was gay in New York, which is a fag in LA
So I saved my money, and I took the plane
Wherever I go, they just treat me the same
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down yeah
Yeah, I go to 53rd Street
And they spit in my face
But I'm learning the ropes, yeah
I'm learning a trade
The East River truckers are
Churning with trash i've got so much money
But I spend it so fast
When the whip comes down, yeah
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the shit hit's the fan
I'll be sitting on the can
When the whip comes down
Yeah, some call me garbage when
I'm sweeping up the street
But I never roll and I never cheat
And I'm filling a need, yeah
I'm plugging a hole
My Mama's so glad I ain't on the dole
When the whip comes down, yeah
When the whip comes down
Yeah, when the shit hit's the fan
I'll be sitting on the can
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
Yeah, go ahead, sugar
Yeah, baby
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
Yeah I'll be running this town i'll tell you
When the shit hit's the fan, baby
I'll be sitting on the can
When the whip comes down yeah
Oooh! Shh!
Why baby, why, why baby? I'll tell you
I'll be running this town
Check it out, check it out, check it out
Check it out, check it out, check it
Out, check it out, check it out
Yeah, when the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
Yeah, when the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
I was crazy to stay
I was gay in New York, which is a fag in LA
So I saved my money, and I took the plane
Wherever I go, they just treat me the same
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down yeah
Yeah, I go to 53rd Street
And they spit in my face
But I'm learning the ropes, yeah
I'm learning a trade
The East River truckers are
Churning with trash i've got so much money
But I spend it so fast
When the whip comes down, yeah
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the shit hit's the fan
I'll be sitting on the can
When the whip comes down
