John Kay's gravel voice, hard rock and fierce lyrics:

I got lion in my blood
I got lightning in my fingers
I'm a man-beast, oh, people
Don't cha know I'm a real bike chain swinger
Cry for mercy
For the year of the rat is upon you
Oh, you might scream for justice
But there's nobody left to hear you
No one left at all

I've got the gang war blues
Got nothing to lose
I'm a hunk of hunger
That wants to shadow you
I've got the gang war blues
I'm a hunk of hunger
I've got the gang war blues
I'm starved for a rumble
I've got the gang war blues
I wanna shatter you
I've got the gang war blues
I've got a heart full of hatred
I've got the gang war blues
And I got nothing left to lose
I've got the gang war blues

Gang War Blues

Always a big fan of John Kay, he is off the chart intelligent, legally blind, moved with his Mom to Canada from Germany as a little kid, and learned English by listening to late night AM blues stations out of Detroit. Because of his minimal eyesight he was given a tape recorder by his school to record notes with, he used it to record himself singing and playing guitar.
