So we're gonna die young, 'cause we're tough
And we don't ever need anybody
We might stink, but we're strong
And we don't give a fuck about anyone

Oh sluts in the city, walk like me
Oh sluts in the city, talk like me
We're the sluts in the city, I'm a bitch I'm a sleazy whore

Well, uptown, downtown, all around
You see, on Cedar Street, where sluts and I will be
We're all out there, looking for a thrill

We got money, but we don't care
We get in trouble for the things we wear
We don't fit in, they're always closing doors
We get kicked around by everyone, outsiders looking in
We're the Cedar Street sluts, and we hate everyone

Oh sluts in the city, walk like me
Oh sluts in the city, talk like me
Oh sluts in the city, I'm a bitch and I'm a sleazy whore

Oh sluts in the city, walk like me
Oh sluts in the city, talk like me
Oh sluts in the city, I'm a bitch I'm a sleazy whore

East side, west side, suicide
I beat my dick for kicks, I wanna get so high
A cheap bottle of brandy, a joint, or a bottle of wine

Hey what's the matter? Well I'm fucking pissed
I'm all fucked up, but it's such a blast
Because I'm drunk in generation x
Got a barbed wire fence wrapped around my neck
Outsiders looking in, we're the sluts, and we hate everyone

Oh sluts in the city, walk like me
Oh sluts in the city, talk like me
Oh sluts in the city, I'm a bitch I'm a sleazy whore

Oh sluts in the city, walk like me
Oh sluts in the city, talk like me
Oh sluts in the city, I'm a bitch I'm a sleazy whore

Yea, we're gonna die young, 'cause we're tough
And we don't really need
We might stink, but we're strong enough
And we don't give a fuck about anyone

Oh sluts in the city, walk like me
Oh sluts in the city, talk like me
I'm a slut in the city, I'm a bitch I'm a sleazy whore

I'm an animal creeping in the night
A sick perverted thing in the sewer pipe
In the concrete jungle, when walls cave in
'Cause sluts in the city rule, OK, outsiders looking in
Well, we're the sluts, and we hate everyone

Oh sluts in the city, walk like me
Oh sluts in the city, talk like me
Oh sluts in the city, I'm a bitch I'm a sleazy whore

Oh sluts in the city, walk like me
Oh sluts in the city, talk like me
Oh sluts in the city, I'm a bitch I'm a sleazy whore

    This is in my top 3 fav. GG Allin songs. It's super catchy and the girl saying "walk like me, talk like me" is funny.

So this has been.my favorite song of OTEP's since it came out in 2004, and I always thought it was a song about a child's narrative of suffering in an abusive Christian home. But now that I am revisiting the lyrics, I am seeing something totally new. This song could be gospel of John but from the perspective of Jesus. Jesus was NOT having a good time up to and during the crucifixion. Everyone in the known world at the time looked to him with fear, admiration or disgust and he was constantly being asked questions. He spoke in "verses, prophesies and curses". He had made an enemy of the state, and believed the world was increasingly wicked and fallen from grace, or that he was in the "mouth of madness". The spine of atlas is the structure that allows the titan to hold the world up. Jesus challenged the state and in doing so became a celebrated resistance figure. It also made him public enemy #1. All of this happened simply because he was doing his thing, not because of any agenda he had or strategy. And then he gets scourged (storm of thorns) There are some plot holes here but I think it's an interesting interpretation.

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
