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 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 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
