Description: Guns N' Roses Chinese Democracy lyrics It don't really matter You're gonna find out for yourself No it don't really matter You're gonna leave this thing to somebody else If they were missionaries Real time visionaries Sitting in a Chinese stew To view my dis-in-fat-u-ation I know that I'm a classic case Watch my disenchanted face Blame it on the Falun Gong They've seen the end and it can't hold on now 'Cause it would take a lot more hate than you To end the fascination Even with an iron fist All they got to rule the nation When all I've got is precious time It don't really matter Guess I'll keep it to myself Said it don't really matter It's time I look around for somebody else 'Cause it would take a lot more time than you Have got for masturbation Even with your iron fist All they got to rule the nation When all we got is precious time All they got to fool the nation When all I got is precious time It don't really matter I guess you'll find out for yourself No it don't really matter So you can hear it now from somebody else You think you got it all locked up inside And if you beat 'em enough they'll die It's like a walk in the park from a cell And now you're keeping your own kind in hell When your great wall rocks blame yourself While their arms reach up for your help And you're out of time Chinese Democracy is here! ¡¡¡¡GunsNRoses.com ¡¡¡¡The following has been updated to correct inaccuracies contained in the previously posted version. ¡¡¡¡Chinese Democracy is everything you've been waiting so patiently for -- and a lot more. ¡¡¡¡Here's a full track description: ¡¡¡¡"Chinese Democracy" opens things up on a theatrical note. Right away you realize that frontman and GN'R mastermind Axl Rose has never sounded better. Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal's guitar solo is another highlight of the title track. "Better" couldn't be better, with a five-pronged guitar attack setting off explosions while a hard beat crunches away. Tommy Stinson's bass line provides the backbone of the rhythm. "Street Of Dreams" comes next, the beautiful song that you might recognize during GN'R's 2006 tour, introduced as "The Blues." ¡¡¡¡The fifth track, "If The World," is a classic funk-rock song with Middle Eastern elements and liquid bass playing from synth man and programmer ¨C- and track co-writer ¨C- Chris Pitman. There Was A Time" "Broken glass and cigarettes, writing on the wall/It was a bargain for the summer and I thought I had it all," Axl sings before this instant classic crescendos into the powerful chorus. Other highlights include Dizzy Reed, Pitman and Axl's synth orchestra, which gives the song a movie feel. ¡¡¡¡A gorgeous instrumental intro featuring piano, bass and Axl's signature wails begins the album's next track, "Catcher In The Rye". "Scraped" features Axl all over the register, with layers and layers of vocal tracks piledt on top of each other while a sinister guitar riff shoots through the chorus: "Don't you try to stop us now/'cause I just won't let you." Meanwhile, "Sorry" is a kick-back track with acoustic guitar but with Axl-penned lyrics that bite: "You don't know why I won't give in," he says. "To hell with the pressure, I'm not caving in." ¡¡¡¡Track No. 9, "Riad N' The Bedouins" has Axl giving his all to the vocal over a complex, multi-layered guitar rhythm. The instrumental bridge segues from strings to a Bumblefoot solo assault. An electronic drum loop leads right into the next song, "I.R.S.", which contains some of Axl's most inner-reaching lyrical content on the album. Track No. 12, "Madagascar," features accltaimed orchestral arranger Paul Buckmaster and emotional samples from history, including two speeches by Martin Luther King Jr., the films "Mississippi Burning" and "Cool Hand Luke." ¡¡¡¡"This I Love" starts with only Axl's voice and piano playing, and it's the only song on the album solely written by Axl. "Prostitute" brings things to a close, with Axl saying, "It's not a question of whether my heart is true." ¡¡¡¡Chinese Democracy is a truly epic project, GNR's first studio release since 1993's The Spaghetti Incident?. ¡¡¡¡Retail chain Best Buy is the exclusive outlet for the CD and vinyl album in the United States. The album is also available via the iTunes Store.
