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 (*2)
runnin' down my back
I got a meanstreak
wanna feel the meanstreak
they call me meanstreak
meanstreak
what's my name

meanstreak
