lyrics

Look at you now
Scum of the crowd
I know you
And we both know what it’s all about

You chained up the beast
That’s been starved for weeks
You threw out your old rags
And now you’re down on your knee begging for her

Now you’re sitting there moaning
While you’re sipping on your coke
And every drop free
Of the alcohol you need, is just planting Demon seed

What should be rest for the weary
Is just making you eerie
It seems you always fail the test
Though you try your very best

So look at me now
I know you
Blow of some steam
And we’ll wake up a little further
down the stream


Well you walk into a bar
And you let down your guard
And before you know of it
You’ll be sitting here shooting dice

And you lose a lot of money
And you couldn’t care less for it
Until a jerk share his pint
Right down your spine – Twice!

So you cut down his teeth
Tenderize his meat
And before you’re out
You tell him right out lout
That he shouldn’t mess around with a son of a gun

Now things really got bad
Cuz you got a little mad
And you beat up the cops
Like an angry mob
When they tried to drag you off


So look at me now
Scum of the crowd
Snap off a gun
And begin your run
Cuz I hear the dogs are coming


So now you're skipping down the rails
On the hobo trail
N' cuz of what you are
No one will go your bail

You let your eye strike lightning
And your fist roll thunder
N' all share even of the storms
That you've been forced to keep down under

But when that walnut grip
Smashed through her lips
It wasn't just her eyes
That went pale as a mist

No matter where you’re from
You’re no regular scum
But the kind that take life’s beating
And still gets strung

So look at you now
When your head’s in a noose
Prepare to holler out loud
Cuz now It’s your time again to loose
