Rose Tattoo - Scarred For Life lyrics

I grew up fast on a working cla** 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
