When The Whip Comes Down Lyrics by Rolling Stones

When The Whip Comes Down Lyrics

    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

    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

    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
