Rose Tattoo - Scarred For Life

I grew up fast on a working class street
First thing i learned was life don't come cheap
Technical school it was a waste of time
Makin' robots for some factory line

Got my first tattoo when i was 16
The rebel had lost his teenage queen
I'd taken a stand for an outlaw's life
My ma's words kept ringin', your Scarred for life

She said you're scarred, you've been scarred
Scarred for life (Scarred for life)
I fought my way through the trouble and strife
I was scarred (Scarred for life)
My reputation it cuts like a knife

I spent some time a guest of the state
I got out and wanted to go straight
People don't forgive, the force don't forget
I was jailed for crimes i did not commit

I was scarred, i was scarred
Scarred for life (Scarred for life)
I fought my way through the trouble and strife I was scarred (Scarred for life)
My reputation it cuts like a knife
I was scarred (Scarred for life)
Been knocked around had a hell of a life
I was scarred (Scarred for life)
I fought my way through the trouble and strife

I fought tooth and nail, every inch of the way
I got scars...to prove it
I was in love for keeps that time
But rock'n'roll was still on my mind
She was young and true and so full of life
And the pen (Pain?) went deep, i was Scarred for life

I was scarred, i was scarred, scarred, scarred
(Scarred for life)
My reputation it cuts like a knife
I was scarred (Scarred for life)
Been knocked around i had a hell of a life
I was scarred, Scarred for life, Scarred for life
Yes i've been scarred, Scarred for life, Scarred for life

Yes i've been scarred...i've been scarred
Scarred for life
