Mangled and Dead

You can eat worms, I don't care 
You can be a clown at the fair 
I'm walking down past you 
You don't exist 
But I've gotten used to that 
I know my wild world 
And if you jump to eat me 
I'll shoot you in the head 
You'll be mangled and dead 
I'll blow the smoke, walk away 
Can't you be my friend 
Tell me you like me 
I'm going down crying 
What a sad life I got 
But I know when to kill you 
Dirty rotten stalking (skulking?) beast 
And when the blood is running 
From the center of your head 
Your eyes will be staring 
Caught looking at me 
The surprise that subdued you 
Was a man prepared to die 
I'll not be beholden 
At the teeth of a best
