A Bastard Like Me
I was born in the bush Near old Alice Springs As far as you can get from the sea My mother was a fighter My daddy was too He never knew a bastard like me My brothers and sisters scattered like the wind From the desert and the hills to the sea Much too young, many died But I have survived So lucky a bastard like me So lucky a bastard like me I have survived a hell of a ride Nobody knows a bastard like me Call me astray A dog of the day Call me a mongrel half-breed A mongrel's a strong Son you take me on What ? for a bastard like me Ohhhh You better watch out for a bastard like me I fought all the way I fight every day You can't stop a bastard like me Letras de canciones I've taken my licks I've taken my kicks I am a man of degrees I wear the scars I earned them so hard Every day in the lucky country Ohhhh Every day in the lucky country I've taken my licks I've kicked against the bricks Oh try and stop a bastard like me From Letras Mania
