[Lyric] The Last Great American Bad Ass (Mario William Vitale)

From a young child they were groomed
A silver spoon they new not of
They were born in the gutter
There mother was a whore
Selling her junk from a trunk in back of the liquor store
Many moons ago let the truth be told
The child grew up wild
Got a taste of the streets
Viscous fangs that bite dripping blood off side
Would be a drifter in the grand scheme of things
Blind from the notion of what is there destiny
A life of crime they knew all to well
Now I got a good story to tell
In time they would shine through working dead end jobs to keep them alive
Others were born of good stock but somehow they forgot the true meaning of the streets
Let the blind lead the blind then soon they would fall into a ditch

The bastard child was full grown now
Not looking back at the plough
Serving sin, self & Satan
Always drinking yet never thinking
Were they would end up in the end
A need to pretend
Searching for the latest trends in there stolen Benz
At this time making lots of friends
Sad heart with tombstones for eyes
Does this come at any big enough surprise
Then they made it to the big time at last
Life was going way to fast in which to grasp
The last great American bad ass
No one gets out on any free pass
Money was no object while they were on top
One drop in the bucket & they call a cop
Now it's cell block number twelve
Feeling like a Keebler elf
Suffering deep inside they want to run away & hide
Until the day the preacher came inside
Shared with them a lesson
Now was the time to do some confessing & trusting
Then the got born again & new that God had a plan
So much for the bad ass ways
Getting caught up in a haze
They became a new creature ready for life's double feature
