When I was a lad
I believed in live and let live
The rosy view that I had
Mesmerized and held me captive
‘Til the years slipped through my grasp
And I met with hard cold reality at last

My time on the beaten track
Taught me more than all your school shit
They smile - stick the knife in your back
Watch you bleed on the cold, gray concrete
I learned my lessons all well
And if you cross me now you’ll pay hell

Don’t fuck with me
Don’t fuck with me
Don’t fuck with me
Don’t fuck with me no more

Don’t ask for my trust
Don’t ask for something I could never give ya
Human nature evolved around lust
And I know my lessons all so well
But don’t you cross me now you’ll pay hell

Don’t fuck with me
Don’t fuck with me
Don’t fuck with me
Don’t fuck with me no more
