Blow Up Your Video (1988)

(Young, Young, Johnson)



(Ooh yeah)

I've been to the left, I've been to the right

I've found myself in Abudhabi, just a mirage in the night

Been to the high, I've been to the low

And I've been to lots of places that I didn't wanna go

But I ain't see nothing to get me off my ass

And I laughed at all the jokers wanna make me walk on glass

I could walk 'fore I could crawl

And 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 gotta meanstreak

Meanstreak, they call me meanstreak



I just don't know who I wanna be

The count of Monte Cristo or the sheik of Arabia

Eaten rich, and I've eaten free

And I'm the perfect culture vulture in the face of poverty

And I ain't met no one who told me I got class

They say never feed the animal, the boy's got too much flash

I'm a guy they just can't teach

And I always kick the castle that's been built up on the beach (heh ha)



Animal, animal

Cannibal, cannibal

See 'em fall, see 'em fall

Cause I'm the guy that they call -



What's your name?



Meanstreak



I got a meanstreak

Ooh I got a meanstreak

Ooh I got a meanstreak

Wanna feel a meanstreak?

They call me meanstreak

All the children say meanstreak



What's my name?



Meanstreak
