You see I am a hooligan from way back
I got in the way of people
I fought people
Slapped them ******* the back
It really wasn’t me to do that
But I look at it as being
The hooligan from way back
I used to drink lots of beer
And chucking the empties
On top of the Catholic school roof
And I had fun doing that but I needed to be reformed
You see I am the hooligan from way back
I was playing with the kids
Sometimes it was inappropriate
But it was easy to do
Some cried some let me play with them and it didn’t worry me
Because I was the hooligan from way back
You see I used to pretend I was visiting a mate in emu ridge but instead I was watching the front door till somebody came out
I didn’t know what I was doing
I was just the hooligan from way back
I hear people call me a **** when I be an adult because
With me, well I was the hooligan from way back
I was q normal average teenager who had problems
And I terrorised the streets of my city
You see I was the hooligan from way back
You see I was feeling threatened by my father and I say why
Because I was the hooligan from way back
You see I hated being teased
I hated the itchy feeling I got
When the other kids teased me
But I was the hooligan from way back and I must say
I was the hooligan from way back leaving the big angry man
On his own
I mean I love life
And I love the planet
It is nice and comfortable
Yes I am cool
I read and say I am a cold kid mate
But I am the hooligan from way back saying to everyone
Time to party time to swing
Yeah yeah yeah
Being a hooligan is fun for all
Feeling all scruffy and messy
Not worrying about the clean cut nerds who are the teasers
Of myself, the hooligan from way back, cool as cool can be
I squeeze my way through drainpipes and it fucken-well was a tight squeeze but I did it and some nerdy old family person toasted me with a beer
You see I am the hooligan from way back
Nothing bothers me
Being the hooligan from way back makes me say
*** is evil and so is family stuff
So sit in my room saying
I am the hooligan from way back and I can’t change my actions
I am the hooligan from way back yeah I feel cool, calm and collected
