Sorry Lyrics Chinese Democracy Guns N Roses

Sorry is a new song by Axl Rose for the new GNR album, Chinese Democracy.

A lot of people are speculating that this song is directed at former Gunner, Slash.
I can't see it my self, while Chinese Democracy might have a lot of introspection, this song could be interpreted in soooo many situations.

Still, if it makes you happy go right ahead and read it how you want - that's how many artists intend their lyrics to be interpreted.

Sorry Lyrics - credits W. Axl Rose/Buckethead/Brain/Pete Scaturro

You like to hurt me
You know that you do
You like to think
In some way
That it's me
And not you
(But we know that isn't true)

You like to have me
Jump an' be good
But I… don't want to do it

You don't know why
I won't act the way
You think I should

You thought they'd make me
Behave and submit

What were you thinking
'Cause I don't forget

You don't know why
I won't give in
To hell with the pressure
I'm not cavin' in

You know that I
Got under your skin
You sold your soul
But I won't let you win

You talk too much
You say I do
Difference is nobody cares about you

You've got all the answers
You know everything
Why nobody asked you
It's a mystery to me

I'm sorry for you
Not sorry for me
You don't know who in the hell to
Or not to believe

I'm sorry for you
Not sorry for me
You don't know who you can trust now
Or you should believe
You should believe
You don't know who you can trust now
Or you should believe

You close your eyes
All well an' good
I'll kick you ass
Like I said that I would

You tell them stories they'd rather believe
Use and confuse them
They're numb and naïve

The truth is the truth hurts
Don't you agree?

It's harder to live
With the truth about you
Than to live with
The lies about me

Nobody owes you
Not one goddamn thing
You know where to put your
'Just shut up and sing'

I'm sorry for you
Not sorry for me
You don't know who in the hell to
Or not to believe
I'm sorry for you
Not sorry for me
You chose to hurt those that love you
An' won't set them free
Won't set them free
You chose to hurt those that love you
An' won't set them free

You don't need
Anyone else to be
Sorry for you
You've got no heart
You can't see
All that you've done for me
I know the reasons
You tear me apart

Madagascar Lyrics Chinese Democracy Guns N Roses

Madagascar was debuted by Axl Rose at the 2002 MTV Video Awards. The show was notable for one of the first real times Buckethead was seen in the Public Eye.

Madagascar is epic in a November Rain sense, but slightly less dramatic and overblown.

The lyrics of Madagascar refer to not being told what to do any more and that resonates with the struggles of Martin Luther King. Stirring words from him speaking are added into the bridge, "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

Madagascar samples a bit from from the Paul Newman film, Cool Hand Luke about 'failure to communicate' - GNR also famously included this reference in their song, Civil War. Madgascar also contains elements from the films"Missipi Burning", "Braveheart", Casualties of War and "Se7ven"

Madagascar Lyric by Axl Rose

I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought down in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
But I can't find my way back, my way anymore

Oh no I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought down in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
Oh that I can't find my way back, my way anymore

Oh, I..

Forgive them that tear down my soul
And bless them that they might grow old
And free them so that they may know
That it's never too late

For the many times what seemed like a memory
I searched and found the ways 
You used to lure me in
Oh, I found ways
Oh, why it had to be
Mired in denial and so afraid

If we ever find it true
That we have the strength to choose
I'm free of all the chains
We have together

(Quotes by Martin Luther King and samples from films)

"What we've got here is failure to communicate"

"Well, all men betray, all lose heart"

"Black men and White men together at the table of brother hood. I have a dream"

"Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

Oh I won't be told anymore,
(If we ever find it true)
That I've been brought down in this storm
(That we have the strength to choose)
And left so far out from the shore
(I'm free of all the chains)
Oh that I can't find my way back, my way anymore
(We have together)

Oh no I won't be told anymore,
(If we ever find it true)
That I've been brought down in this storm
(That we have the strength to choose)
And left so far out from the shore
(I'm free of all the chains)
Oh that I can't find my way back, my way anymore
(We have together)
