Ready For A Fight
I do not care for violence
Yes, you heard me right
But if you hurt a friend of mine
Then get ready for a fight
I was raised on stones and firewood
With hot coals beneath my feet
My skin’s a coat of scar tissue
So you’ll never see me bleed
Though I really don’t like conflict
In the day or dark of night
But if you break someone I love
Best be ready for a fight
I try my best to live in peace
and to always be the light
But the world keeps pulling at my strings
And the noose is gettin tight
Sometimes it seems to stop my breath
and I panic to get free
Then I would do most anything
So let go and let me breathe
Oh, you think it’s funny
You think what you do is right?
Well if you really feel that way
Best get ready for a fight
It’s wrong to hurt somebody
Or walk by someone in need
To kick them when they’ve fallen down
When they’re cryin on their knees
Boy you’ve got a lot to learn
Better lose that appetite
Cause if I catch you here again
Best get ready for a fight
Your hatred will consume you
Like a nasty parasite
And if you never learn the cure
Best get ready for a fight
For despite my calm demeanor
I’m a stick of dynamite
So if I see you hurt again
I’ll be ready to ignite
Thought your plan was watertight?
Best get ready for a fight
Thought my bark would beat my bite?
Best get ready for a fight
So I’ll give my warning one last time
Best get ready for a fight.
