Scarred For Life

Rose Tattoo

I grew up fast on a working class street



First thing I learned was life don't come cheap



Technical school it was a waste of time



Makin' robots for some factory line



Got my first tattoo when I was 16



The rebel had lost his teenage queen



I'd taken a stand for an outlaw's life



My ma's words kept ringin', your scarred for life



She said you're scarred, you've been scarred



Scarred for life Scarred for life

I fought my way through the trouble and strife

I was scarred Scarred for life

My reputation it cuts like a knife



I spent some time a guest of the state



I got out and wanted to go straight



People don't forgive, the police force don't forget



I was jailed for crimes I did not commit



I was scarred, I was scarred




Scarred for life Scarred for life

I fought my way through the trouble and strife

I was scarred Scarred for life

My reputation it cuts like a knife

I was scarred Scarred for life

Been knocked around had a hell of a life

I was scarred Scarred for life

I fought my way through the trouble and strife



I fought tooth and nail, every inch of the way



I got scars...to prove it



I was in love for keeps that time



But rock'n'roll was still on my mind



She was young and true and so full of life



And the pain went deep, I was scarred for life



I was scarred, I was scarred, scarred, scarred

Scarred for life



My reputation it cuts like a knife

I was scarred Scarred for life

Been knocked around I had a hell of a life

I was scarred, scarred for life, scarred for life

Yes I've been scarred, scarred for life, scarred for life



Yes I've been scarred...I've been scarred

Scarred for life
