Mean Streak

Sutton Brothers

Your boss is pissed
Says you’ve got to work late
You phone the wife, dinner will have to wait
You finally get out, but the freeway’s jammed
You sit starin’ at the backs of your hands
It’s hot and sticky, and just gettin’ worse
Your teeth are grinding through your muffled curse
You’re seeing red, got to do something fast
Your head is smokin’
Evokin, strokin’, stokin’ your mean streak

Finally the weekend, a chance to unwind
Time to get a few things off of your mind
Your favourite waterhole's the place to relax
But the government doubled the liquor tax
Some jerkoff's lookin' to start a scrap
Dumps his highball right into your lap
You turn to face him, the look says it all
He's gonna taste it
The nasty, ugly side of your mean streak
What ever happened
To that guy we once knew?
How did he turn into a jerk like you?
That other guy seemed to have some real class
This one is just concerned with kickin' ass
We used to have a friend to love and trust
Now we're worried 'bout whose chops he'll bust
Where is that guy we used to know?
We want him back
We're getting sick and tired of your mean streak
