Free Cee On Weapons and Weeds

WEAPONS AND WEEDS

Heed well these words of common sense
and have, at all times, a ready defense
when the enemy begins rushing in
ready your arms and clean the firing pin

take cover lest they uncover you
and try to forecast what you are going to do
strengthen your stratagem and stay stalwart as stone
and remember you have a loved one waiting for you all alone

you must stay strengthened as you hear the sound of a distant drum
for no one on earth can tell you what is yet to come
there are carnations in jeopardy from weeds in a garden grown
and mute your voice whenever your enemy makes you moan

all this should be known well in advance
for we have a choice to die fighting or to dance
choose what may be your last meal from chicken to mutton
and wait for some maniac to finally press that threatening red button
