Paradise City by Guns N' Roses

If you have watched every trailer of "The Expendables", you must not overlook one that uses the song "Paradise City" by Guns N` Roses. As an ensemble action film starring Sylvester Stallone and many other superstars who are the hottest in the preceding 20 years, "The Expendables" must take no question on shocking you. So does the film music.

"Paradise City" is written by Guns N` Roses, which is included on their debut album "Appetite for Destruction". "Paradise City" is thinking by some to be about San Francisco and its corruption at the time. Some think the call to be written about Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin`s hometown of Lafayette, Indiana and the nearby Purdue University campus.

During a 1988 interview, Guns N` Roses told Hit Parader magazine that "the verses are more about being in the jungle; the choir is like being second in the Midwest or somewhere". Matt Sorum, despite not being in the ring when the call was written, has declared on occasion that the call is written about Ireland.

Lyrics:

Take me downward to the paradise city Where the pot is common And the girls are pretty Take me home (Oh, won`t you please consider me home)

Just an urchin livin` under the street I`m a severe case that`s hard to get I`m your charity case So by me somethin` to eat I`ll pay you at another time Make it to the end of the line

Rags to wealth Or so they say You gotta Keep pushin` for the circumstances and fame You know it`s, it`s all a chance When it`s only a plot You handle it like a capitol crime Everybody` doin` their time

Strapped in the president of the city`s gas chamber Why I`m here, I can`t quite remember The surgoen general say`s it`s wild to breathe I`d have another cigarette But I can`t see Tell me that you`re gonna believe

So far away

Capitain America`s been torn apart Now he`s a court jester With a low heart He said turn me round And read me back to the beginning I must be losing my head "Are you blind?!" I`ve seen it all a mllion times

I desire to go I wish to know Oh, won`t you please consider me home

I want to see Oh, look at me Oh, won`t you please consider me home

Take me downward to the paradise city Where the pot is common And the girls are pretty Take me home (Oh, won`t you please consider me home)

Take me downward to the paradise city Where the pot is common And the girls are pretty Oh, won`t you please consider me home

Take me down Oh yeah Beat me down Oh, won`t you please consider me home

I want to see Oh, look at me Oh, won`t you please consider me home

I want to see Boy, I`m gonna be mean Oh, oh take me home

Take me downward to the paradise city Where the pot is common And the girls are pretty Oh, won`t you please consider me home

I desire to go I wish to know Oh, won`t you please get me hooooooome Baby
