Not For The Innocent

(album: Lick It Up - 1983)

I'm mean and I'm dirty, like none you've ever seen
Bad habits drip like honey, no tongue can lick me clean
I'm not of royal blood, I've never been discreet

Better lock up your daughters, we're coming to your town
We're here for the slaughter, kick you when you're down
Kick you when you're down

We're not for the innocent, we're not for the innocent
We're not for the innocent, let the beast run wild

I've been damned, I've been cursed
I've been guilty and abused
I spit the hangman in his face and hung him with his noose
Habitual threat, I got you in my claws

Gonna tan your hide, rip the flesh off your bones
Look me in the eye, and you're gonna turn to stone
You're gonna turn to stone

We're not for the innocent, oh, we're not for the innocent
We're not for the innocent, let the beast run wild

Better lock up your daughters, we're coming to your town
Better pray we're not around

Let the beast run wild

Not for the innocent, oh, no
Not for the innocent
Not for the innocent, let the beast run wild
