Lyrics:

Well, you're brought up on the streets
Did ya make it on your own?
Are ya living in the shadow?
Crawling in the night
Sleeping in the subway
Beggin' for a fight
Makes ya grow up hard, boy
Ain't you ready for a fight?

I don't need no one, you can keep your sympathy
I live on my own, I would make that company
I don't need no one, you can keep your sympathy
I live on my own, I would make that company
I'm rough and ready tonight
God help you

Standing on the corner
And asking for a smoke
And I'll kick you in the teeth, boy
And steal away your girl
Talked into a knife fight
They cut me to the bone
Don't ya mess with me, boy
Ya better leave me alone

I don't need no one, you can keep your sympathy
I live on my own, I would make that company
I don't need no one, you can keep your sympathy
I live on my own, I would make that company
I'm rough and ready tonight
God help you

Maybe seeing a car girl
I'll take you for a ride
The cops will never break me
Steal away my pride
If you're looking for a good time
And you wanna ride with me
And you're feeling rough and ready
Rough and ready with me

You can change my life
You can read my mind
I don't want no one
I don't have no one
I don't need no one
You can keep your sympathy



Well, you're brought up on the streets
Did ya make it on your own?
Are ya living in the shadow?
Crawling in the night
Sleeping in the subway
Beggin' for a fight
Makes ya grow up hard, boy
Ain't you ready for a fight?

I don't need no one, you can keep your sympathy
I live on my own, I would make that company
I don't need no one, you can keep your sympathy
I live on my own, I would make that company
I'm rough and ready tonight
God help you
God help you

Rough and ready tonight
Rough and ready tonight
Rough and ready tonight
Rough and ready tonight
Rough and ready tonight
Rough and ready tonight
Rough and ready tonight
Rough and ready tonight
Rough and ready tonight...
