Paradise City Lyrics - Guns N' Roses



Review The Song (15)





Take me down
To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home

Take me down
To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home

Just an urchin living under the street
I'm a hard case that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case
So buy me something to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line

Rags to riches or so they say
You got to - keep pushing for the fortune and fame you know
It's all a gamble when it's just a game
You treat it like a capital crime
Everybody's doing their time

Take me down
To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home

Take me down
To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home

Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here I can't quite remember
The surgeon general says it's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette but I can't see
Tell me who you're going to believe

Take me down
To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home

Take me down
To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home

So far away (4x)

Captain America's been torn apart
Now he's a court jester with a broken heart
He said -
Turn me around and take me back to the start
I must be losing my mind -
"Are you blind?!"
I've seen it all a million times

Take me down
To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home

Take me down
To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home

Take me down
To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home

Take me down
To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home

I wanna go
I wanna know
Oh, won't you please take me home

I wanna see
Oh, look at me
Oh, won't you please take me home

Take me down
To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home

Take me down
To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home

Take me down
Beat me down
Oh, won't you please take me home

I wanna see
Oh, look at me
Oh, won't you please take me home

I wanna see
Boy, I'm going to be mean
Oh, oh take me home

Take me down
To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home

I wanna go
I wanna know
Oh, won't you please take me home
Yeah, baby
Yeah

The Best eras of any time! | Reviewer: 70sChick | 2/5/11

i know im only little but my parents were smart enough to teach me real music. i dnt like rap or hip hop or anything. i only like 70s 80s and 90s rock n roll and GNR is one of my favs includin Skynyrd. but im srry Sammy i dnt agree, rock n roll is not dead. it lives through the smart ppl that live in this world and we let it live within us throughout our lives. Thank u mom and dad for teaching me this music! :) :) :)



AWSUM | Reviewer: Johnny | 5/5/10

Probably the most awesome hard rock/metal song. You can say the're hard rock but they're technically glam metal.They're ballads are hard rock though. This is hard rock but towards the end it becomes a heavy metal headbanger. P.S, How is metal gay? Most metal is just dark. These guys are metal but they're glam metal and glam metal is more free in terms of lyrics and sound than regular metal. P.S.S, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? HARD ROCK=METAL. Metal is just a type of hard rock.



GN'R is AWESOME! XD | Reviewer: Kai | 8/6/09

Did you know that there's a game called "Paradise City"? And this was this game's theme song! How awesome is that?! :D
Well, getting back, I gotta say...This is one very up-beat, you-wanna-bang-your-head-on-the-wall song!nTHIS PWNS!!!



Ah, the memories... | Reviewer: Stephanie | 5/1/09

I once heard a guy sing this at McDonalds when he wanted food (Not the whole song, though, just the first part about getting him something to eat.). At that time I was only 9 years old and thought he was so creepy and I also wondered if he had made the song up. If I could go back to that time, I'd by him the whole meal with a McFlurry to go with it.

Great song. Who cares if it's metal or Hard Rock. It could be curved yellow fruit for all I care, it's still freaking great.



You guys are fucks. | Reviewer: Joe | 2/9/09

Guns n' Roses are great now, just as they were in the 80s, and 70s. Rock and Roll is not dead, Sammy. You're just a stupid fuck who doesn't like it.

DON'T RUIN EVERYONE ELSES LIFE LIKE YOURS.

What the fuck is wrong with all you people and the controversy between whether Guns n' Roses is metal or not. Who the fuck cares.

Get over yourselves, get a life, and stop criticizing what other people have to say. Those are their opinions and if you have nothing else better to do, and you need to fuck around with people you don't know because they don't agree with you, then GO FUCK A NAIL!

:)



Guns N Roses | Reviewer: Sammy | 2/13/08

Call me an old fashion, but, rock and roll is dead. We will never have it like it used to be in the 80s, 70s, 60s. And Guns N Roses was and is still a rock band that rocked the world even as we speak. I hope they regroup for one final time. "Let it roll baby....all night long"



Take Me Down to the Paradise City! | Reviewer: GamerErman2001 | 1/29/08

This song is so fun! As for what genre it is, it's hard to tell. Hard rock and metal is merged so much in this style of music that it's really hard to tell. I usually just file it under hard rock.



G n R rules | Reviewer: lex | 1/20/08

Guns n' roses is a hardrock band, but why would it be an insult to call it metal, there isn't much difference between some of GnR songs and some metal songs, and some metal bands are great to. I'm 14 year old, but still this is one of my favourite songs, with korn and bullet for my valentine, but i do think that Guns n' roses is one of the best bands ever.



GNR kicks ass | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/24/07

GNR is metal. the 80s was filled with hair metal. and GNR was heavier. it wasn't metallica, but was more than Def Leppard or Motely Crew. Most of the members were into Sex Pistols so punk was an influence, but not there genre. just remember metal stared with Sabbath and Zeppelin, not Craddle of Flith



the gunners | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/13/07

the gunners are ma fave band nd u cant say they arent metal if u listen to every single one of their songs u cant say there is nothing metal about them they incorporate a bit of everything into their music but yes you can defenitely put them in the hard rock category
