Mean First Lyrics - State Of Grace - Street Dogs

For as long as I remember 

I ran a life of crime 

Harmed everyone that I know 

Stolen what's not mine 

Problems solved through violence 

Feelings dulled with booze 

Father always yelling at me 

Shape up or you will lose 

The law's closing in on me... 

Just made a BOLO list 

Hear this confessional 

These are the tales of the mean fist 

The tales of the mean fist

And to my abandoned daughter 

I know I let you down 

And I hope some day you'll pardon me 

For the damage that I've done 

Your father fought the needle 

And a judge says the needle won 

Looks like I traded our picket fence 

For a prison cell 

The law's closing in on me... 

Just made a warden's list 

Hear this confessional 

These are the tales of the mean fist 

The tales of the mean fist 

Now listen... 

Photos 

Three walls and prison bars 

Are all I'll ever know 

Love and compassion 

Will become foreign words 

And it won't make a damn bit of difference 

If I repent or make amends 

Life on the installment plan 

Will surely be my death 

Consider this a junkie's 

Last will and testament 

And when I die I know that it is 

Safe to place a bet 

Not a tear will be she'd 

Nor a rose for my casket 

It will be a cold, grey day 

When they lower down mean fist
