Reckless Life

[Intro] Hey fuckers! Suck on Guns N' fuckin' Roses [Verse 1] I'm reckless and feelin' no pain You know I've got no need to control Livin' with the danger, I'm always on the edge now With million-dollar visions that I hold [Pre-Chorus] Livin' like this never ever tore my life apart I know how to maintain and you know I know my part [Verse 2] On a holiday, a permanent vacation I'm livin' on a cigarette with wine I'm never alone, 'cause I got myself Yes, I entertain myself all of the time [Pre-Chorus] Livin' like this never ever tore my life apart I know how to maintain 'cause it's comin' from my heart [Chorus] I lead a reckless life And I don't need your advice I lead a reckless life And you know it's my only vice [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Reckless life, I lead a reckless life I lead a reckless life And you know it's my only Reckless life, I lead a reckless life I lead a reckless life And you know it's my only [Outro] Oh, yeah
