Rough And Ready

Well, you're brought up on the street

Did ya make it on your own

Are ya living in the shadow

Crawling in the night

Sleeping in the subway

Beggin' for a fight

Makes ya grow up hard, boy

Aren't you ready for a fight



I don't need no one

You can keep you sympathy

I live on my own

I would make that company

I don't need no one

You can keep you sympathy

I live on my own

I would make that company

I'm rough and ready tonight

Crawling in the night



Standing on the corner

Asked ya for smoke

I kick you in the deep, boy

Steel away you girl

Talked into a night fight

They cut me to the bone

Don't ya mess with me, boy

Ya better leave me alone



I don't need no one

You can keep you sympathy

I live on my own

I would make that company

I don't need no one

You can keep you sympathy

I live on my own

I would make that company

I'm rough and ready tonight



Maybe seeing a call girl

I'll take ya for a ride

The cops will never break me

Steal away my pride

If you're looking for a good time

And ya wanna ride with me

And you're feeling rough and ready

Rough and ready with me



You can change my life

You can read my mind

I don't want no one

I don't have no one

I don't need no one

You can keep your sympathy



Well, you're brought up on the street

Did ya make it on your own



Sleeping in the subway

Begging for a fight

Makes ya grow up hard, boy

Ain't you ready for a fight



I don't need no one

You can keep you sympathy

I live on my own



I don't need no one

You can keep you sympathy

I live on my own

I would make that company

I'm rough and ready tonight



Rough and ready tonight
