"One In A Million"
(Rose)Guess I needed
Sometime to get away
I needed some peace of mind
Some peace of mind that'll stay
So I thumbed it
Down to sixth and L.A.
Maybe your greyhound
Could be my way
Police and niggers
That's right
Get out of my way
Don't need to buy none of your
Goldchains today
I don't need no bracelets
Clamped in front of my back
Just need my ticket till then
Won't you cut me some slack
Chorus:
You're one in a million
Yeah, that's what you are
You're one in a million, babe
You are a shooting star
Maybe someday we see you
Before you make us cry
You know we tried to reach you
But you were much to high
Much to high
Much to high
Much to high
Immigrants and faggots
They make no sense to me
They come to your country
And think the do as they please
Like start a mini Iran
Or spread some fucking disease
They talk so many goddamn ways
It's all greek to me
Well some say I'm lazy
And other say that's just me
Some say I'm crazy
I guess I'll always be
But it been such a long time
Since I knew right from wrong
It's all the means to an end, I,
I keep on movin' along
Chorus
Radicals and racists
Don't point your finger at me
I'm a small town white boy
Just tryin' to make ends meet
Don't need your religion
Don't watch that much TV
Just makin' my livin', baby,
Well that's enough for me
Chorus

"Το One In A
Million είναι για...... πήγα και
γύρισα απο την Indiana στο Hollywood
8 φορές την πρώτη μου χρονιά. Το έγραψα για όσα
σύμβαιναν στον σταθμό των λεωφορείων όταν κατέβαινα."
Axl - RIP Απρίλιος 1989
"Υπάρχουν πολλοί άνθρωποι
που επέλεξαν να χρησιμοποιήσουν αυτό το τραγούδι ["One In A
Million"]. Παρ' όλα αυτά το τραγούδι τους κάνει να
νοιώθουν... νομίζουν ότι πρέπει να είναι αυτό που το
τραγούδι εννοεί. Αν μισούν τους μαύρους,
και ακούν το τραγούδι μου και μισούν τους μαύρους
περισσότερο, τότε λυπάμαι,
γιατί δεν εννοούσα κάτι τέτοιο."
Axl - RIP Σεπτέμβριος 1992
"Το τραγούδι είναι πολύ
γενικό και έχω απολογηθεί γι' αυτό στο εξώφυλλο του δίσκου.
Κοιτώντας στο παρελθόν και διαβάζοντας το,
δεν ήταν και η καλύτερη απολογία αλλά ,
εκείνο τον καιρό, ήταν η καλύτερη
απολογία που θα μπορούσα να δώσω."
Axl - RIP Νοέμβριος 1992
