Quick Tongue

Taming their needs
For the want of one they do what you do
And if you follow it blind
You’re forever standing in a long queue
He gages with his eyes
He's talking with a quick tongue
He heard these cats were straight
Then he saw they were slowly swung
And anyone he meets
He tells them what they want to hear
He’s trapped in a brain cell
With a man ringing his ear
You’ll be laughing on
The other side
Of your face
I’ve been laughing on
The other side
Of my face
Every good coward
Gets caught by, by the good guys
But they’ll be surprised
By the fact you’re still alive
You’re comeuppance never came
And now it comes with the numb teeth
It’ll put you in the red box
Of which you will never leave
You were foiled in your plans
Now you’re cooking up another one
The timer is set
Your demise will surely come
You’ll be laughing on
The other side
Of your face
I’ve been laughing on
The other side
Of my face
