I Mean What I Say

You talk about shame
And who’s really to blame
But you drank way to much
And got way out of touch

If you threaten my life
Or even that of my wife
I will come after you
And I’ll run you right through

But if you leave me to be
Then me you’ll never see
I have never been in a bout
Without knocking someone out

And if you must insist
That this fight will exist
I will not resist
And give you the fist

You’ll know you are too tame
And that I’ll finish the game
You use the tick and the tock
While I use the brick and the rock

If it does come to blows
It will be you that knows
That I mean what I say
And I did not come to play
