Lyrics
Mean Machine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm mean.
I'm a mean machine.
I gotta be mean.
Just a bad human being.
This ain't no art from the the bottom of a henhouse floor.
Rip out your brains if ya got 'em throw 'em out the door.
Cuz I'm mean...I can't nuthin' dull.
I got the gloss lustre.
I'll massacre your ass as fast as Bull offed Custer. I'm mean...
Ya wanna go to the Devil but you don't like the flames. Blood on Satan's Claw is my middle name.
Yeah I'm mean...
