Close shave I could've been dead Had denial in my head and a fist down in my gut Hey, you, down inside You didn't k** me but you sure tried And you still ain't giving up You got a mean streak Running through and through I got a mean streak I'm just as mean as you So long, k**er, see you 'round You're incinerator bound Though you take a part of me with you I'll take the poison, take the knife Find a way to live my life 'Cause living's what I want to do I got a mean streak Running through and through I got a mean streak I'm just as mean as you You live each day like all the rest Doing what comes easiest Then one day wake up from your sleep And feel the gun against your head You're living like the Misfit said This time you've got to dig down deep You got a mean streak Running through and through I got a mean streak And, yeah, you got a mean streak too
