cruel streak

The Black Crowes

Guided by the hand of the selector
All the self-destruction redeemed
Not one to surrender to devotion
But there s a first time for everything

I didn t get tired eyes from the sunshine, now it s showtime
So Laissez-faire with my tangled hair, so devil-may-care
To live the dream, you gotta feed the fiend
You gotta make the scene
Just close your eyes if you get scared

Cruel streak
You need a cruel streak
Cruel streak
Oh, you need a cruel streak
Cruel streak
Yeah, if you wanna play nice with me
Cruel streak
Ooh, you need a cruel streak
Cruel streak
I said, Give me that cruel streak
Cruel streak
Oh, if you wanna play nice with me, yeah

I ve heard the guilty beg for mercy
I ve seen the forgiven rise again
Said the dead, they re in no hurry
They know that the song, it never ends, no

I didn t get tired eyes from the sunshine, now it s showtime
My Laissez-faire with my tangled hair, so devil-may-care
To live the dream, you gotta feed the fiend
You gotta make the scene
Just close your eyes if you get scared, yeah

Cruel streak
You need a cruel streak
Cruel streak
Oh, you need a cruel streak
Cruel streak
Yeah, if you wanna play nice with me
Cruel streak
Oh, you need a cruel streak
Cruel streak
I said, Give me that cruel streak
Cruel streak
Oh, if you wanna play nice with me, yeah

I didn t get, a-get tired eyes from the sunshine
Now it s showtime
So Laissez-faire with my tangled hair, I m so devil-may-care
To live the dream, you gotta feed the fiend
You gotta make the scene
Just close your eyes if you get scared

Cruel streak
Oh, you need a cruel streak
Cruel streak
Whoa, you need a cruel streak
Cruel streak
Yeah, if you wanna play nice with me
Cruel streak
Oh yeah, you need a cruel streak
Cruel streak
Ah, gimme, gimme that cruel streak
Cruel streak
Ooh yeah, if you wanna play nice with me
Yeah, if you wanna get down with me
