Lyrics
Yeah, mama and papa told me I was crazy to stay
I was gay in New York, just a fag in LA
I took my money, I took the train
Wherever I go, they treat me the same
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
Yeah, when the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
Yeah
Some called me garbage, I was sleeping on the street
I never rolled and I never cheated
The East River truckers, they were churning with trash
I've had so much money, I spend it so fast
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
Yeah, when the shit hits the fan
I'll be sitting on the can
When the whip comes down
Yeah, when the whip comes down
Yeah, when the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down, yeah
Yeah, I go to 53rd Street, they spit in my face
I'm learning the ropes, I'm learning the trade
I'm filling the need, I'm filling the hole
My mama's so glad I ain't on the dole
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
Yeah, when the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
Yeah, when the shit hits the fan
I'll be sitting on the can
When the whip comes down
Yeah, check it out, check it out, check it out, check it out, check it out
Check it out, check it out, check it out, check it out
Check it out, check it out, check it out, check it out
Check it out, baby
Alright, welcome everybody
I wish you welcome to Wembley
We're very pleased to be here
We're gonna do one for "Let's Spend The Night Together"
Writer(s): Mick Jagger, Keith Richards
