When The Whip Comes Down (live Version) Lyrics - Rolling Stones

Yeah, mama and papa told me 

I was crazy to stay 

I was gay in New York 

A fag in L. A 

So I saved my money 

And I took a plane 

Wherever I go they treat me the same 

When the whip comes down 

When the whip comes down 

When the whip comes down 

When the whip comes down

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

I'm going down fifty-third street 

And they're spitting in my face 

I'm learning the ropes 

Yeah I'm learning a trade 

The east river truckers 

Are churning with trash 

I make so much money 

That I'm spending so fast 

When the whip comes down 

When the whip comes down 

When the whip comes down 

When the whip comes down 

When the shit hits the fan 

I'll be sitting on the can 

When the whip comes down 

Photos 

Yeah, some called me garbage 

When I was sleeping on the street 

I never roll 

And I never cheat 

I'm filling a need 

I'm plugging a hole 

My mama's so glad 

I ain't on the dole 

When the whip comes down 

When the whip comes down 

When the whip comes down 

When the whip comes down 

(Yeah, go ahead check it out) 

Yeah, baby, when the whip comes down 

When the whip comes down 

(I'll be running this town, I'll tell you) 

When the shit hits the fan 

I'll be sittin on the can
