morals

you've got your v-neck
and your pointed shoes
walking around with that
who the fuck is better than

you look and you look and you
cross your arms.
it doesn't matter what they're saying
if it doesn't matter to you.

you say i've got a ring around my collar,
i want to put a ring around your neck.
you've got a foot above the rest,
i'll put a foot between your teeth.
you've got a handle on your boy
and you best be glad
my father taught me well
or i'd get a handle on you.

you've got a card up your sleeve,
trumping all their hands.
if he's got a queen, you've got the ace.
you think you're king but
i keep my cards in my pocket
call my bluff, call my bluff.
when all the cards are on the table,
we'll see who plays the joker
and walks away folded.

the greatest thing
my father ever taught me
was to keep my mouth shut.
and closed it stays, teeth clenched.
but i warn you now and i warn you always,
my morals wont last forever.
