(A. Young M. Young B. Johnson)

I been to the left

I been to the right

I found myself in Abu Dadi just a mirage in the night

Been to the high

I been to the low

An' I been to lots a places that I didn't wanna go

But I ain't seen nothin' to get me off my ass

I laughed at all the jokers wanna make me walk on glass

I could walk

'for I could crawl

An' I was meaner than a bad dog with his back against the wall

Animal, animal

Cannibal, cannibal

See 'em fall, see 'em fall

I'm the guy that they call

Meanstreak

I got a meanstreak

Meanstreak

They call me meanstreak



I just don't

Who I wanna be

The count of Monte Cristo or the Sheik of Arabi

I've eaten rich

'an I've eaten free

I'm the perfect culture vulture in the face of poverty

An' I ain't met no one who told me I got class

Say never feed the animal the boys got to much flash

I'm the guy

They just can't teach

And I always kick the castle that's been built up on the beach

Animal, animal

Cannibal, cannibal

See 'em fall, see 'em fall

I'm the guy they call



What's your name

Meanstreak

I got a meanstreak

I got a meanstreak

Runnin' down my back

I got a meanstreak

Wanna feel the meanstreak

They call me meanstreak

Meanstreak

What's my name



Meanstreak
