[Verse 1]
You might call me brutal
'Cause I've got a few sadistic notions
Oh, but I ain't lying
I'd kill my own for some commotion
[Chorus]
I've got the gang war blues
Got nothing to lose
I'm a hunk of hunger
That wants to shadow you
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
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
