Steppenwolf - Gang War Blues Lyrics
Words and music by Jerry Edmonton, John Kay, Kim Fowley and Goldy McJohnYou might call me brutal'Cause I've got a few sadistic notionsOh, but I ain't lyingI'd kill my own for some commotionI've got the gang war bluesGot nothing to loseI'm a hunk of hungerThat wants to shadow youI'd be an easy childBut I was born in the middle of a warI've learned that virtue can hurt youAnd there ain't nothing here worth dying forI got lion in my bloodI got lightning in my fingersI'm a man-beast, oh, peopleDon't cha know I'm a real bike chain swingerCry for mercyFor the year of the rat is upon youOh, you might scream for justiceBut there's nobody left to hear youNo one left at allI've got the gang war bluesGot nothing to loseI'm a hunk of hungerThat wants to shadow youI've got the gang war bluesI'm a hunk of hungerI've got the gang war bluesI'm starved for a rumbleI've got the gang war bluesI wanna shatter youI've got the gang war bluesI've got a heart full of hatredI've got the gang war bluesAnd I got nothing left to loseI've got the gang war blues 1973 Black Leather Music, Inc., Non-Specific Publishing, Scar Publishing (BMI)
