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
