Steppenwolf - Gang War Blues lyrics

Words and music by Jerry Edmonton, John Kay, Kim Fowley and Goldy McJohn You might call me brutal 'Cause I've got a few sadistic notions Oh, but I ain't lying I'd k** my own for some commotion I've got the gang war blues Got nothing to lose I'm a hunk of hunger That wants to shadow you I'd be an easy child But I was born in the middle of a war I've learned that virtue can hurt you And there ain't nothing here worth dying for I got lion in my blood I got lightning in my fingers I'm a man-beast, oh, people Don't cha know I'm a real bike chain swinger Cry for mercy For the year of the rat is upon you Oh, you might scream for justice But there's nobody left to hear you No one left at all I've got the gang war blues Got nothing to lose I'm a hunk of hunger That wants to shadow you I've got the gang war blues I'm a hunk of hunger I've got the gang war blues I'm starved for a rumble I've got the gang war blues I wanna shatter you I've got the gang war blues I've got a heart full of hatred I've got the gang war blues And I got nothing left to lose I've got the gang war blues © 1973 Black Leather Music, Inc., Non-Specific Publishing, Scar Publishing (BMI)
