( Duff McKagan )

The first song I recorded, not even
planning on doing a record. We
were doing the "Illusions" records at
A&M studios in Hollywood when a
"day off" came up. Since there was
a full room set up with gear...empty,
I took advantage!! (Lenny Kravitz
came in later that night and sang)
LA A&M Studios

You call me the mean man
You point your finger at me
Having problems with authority
In every major city

And it's so easy for you
The majority, the majority
And there's no peace for you
The majority

Your white housewives
And your money-sucking friends
Don't need you to be I'll be me to
the end

And it's so easy for you
The majority, the majority
And there's no peace for you

You got to think about your chil-
dren
Fuck bureaucracy
Take the weight off your shoul-
ders
We're not the public enemy
Can't you see, can't you see

You call me the mean man
I say you call me the
mean man

And it's so easy for you,
the majority, the majority
And there's no peace
for you

Your white housewives
And your money-sucking
friends
Don't need you to be
cause I'll be me to the end

Got to think about the
children, think think about
the children

You got to think about the
children
