lyrics

Talk is Cheap - Payment Due
I hear you've been talking
Your foul words litter the street
It seems you think you know me
Before we even meet

I'm sure you think you're tough
Of that I have no doubt
But before you're in too deep
Are you sure you've thought this out?

A word to the wise
Mind your business
Don't go poking lions
When armed with a puny stick

I've been around the block
I know how this plays out
I'll give you one warning
Before you take that first shot

I see that you're hard headed
And you haven't learned your lesson
I don't think you've got a clue
About with whom you're messing

This won't end well
That's all I can say
It's not whether you end up on top
It's whether you can walk away

We all know talk is cheap
But your mouth keeps writing checks
The last place you want to be
Is further in my debt

Well, it's come down to it
You are one dumb son of a bitch
If I didn't know better
I'd think you had some death wish

All bets are off
But I'll give you one last chance
To leave with just some wounded pride
Instead of doing this dance

A word to the wise
Mind your business
Don't go poking lions
When armed with a puny stick

I've been around the block
I know how this plays out
I gave you one warning
But you still took the first shot

We all know talk is cheap
But your mouth keeps writing checks
The last place you want to be
Is further in my debt

One thing you didn't know
Is that I deal in pain
I hope you've made your peace
Because you will never be the same

I have another secret
Though you may suspect
Your balance is in the red
And I'm here to collect

The time for talk
Is done
Now your payment's due

And now you're all in
A pound of your flesh
Is where we begin
Wish you heeded my warning?

And now you're all out
With nothing left to give
Your silent mouth
And we're still not at the end

The time for talk
Is done
Now your payment's due
