i never really stopped to think
just how it all began
it seems to me my whole life
i've waited to be a man
people re-invent themselves
in many different ways
some of them found religion
i found out crime pays

<i>[Chorus:]</i>
I'm a rabid dog
and i'm on the make
and i've been kicked to many times
for the chances that i take

you know i don't have to tell you
most people are living lies
i can spot em a mile away
from the blackness in their eyes
i never really stopped to think
how much i've delt with pain
you can get blood from a stone
but that blood always stains
