Loose lips/sink ships
just you have a care.
Pipe dreams/bold schemes
a trap you've set to snare.
Dope freaks/dead creeps,
this our cross to bear.
Tight hips/cold lips,
I don't mean to stare.
Hey what's more, there's monsters at your door
with a rage, that's harder to ignore.
Tooth and claw, or teeth and nail
from a mouse, or as big as a whale.
First rate/inmate,
jailed by your despair.
Tall drink/can't think,
a life you can't repair.
Hard knocks/cash talks,
you say the game's unfair.
Dead beat/fresh meat,
boy, you best beware.
