Mister I can see that you're afraid
I can see you won't do shit
Your beady eyes are dilated
Your mouth is full of blood and spit
Your mind is spinning round
You don't know what your gonna do
Should you run out of this town
Or take what's coming down on you
Or will you just stand there and bleed
What a choice indeed
Just stand there and bleed
I know what you need
My daddy taught me young how to take a blow hard down
He said boy you don't need a gun you just need to stand your ground
Because a man who yells and screams ain't the kind you need to mind
It's the one who don't say a thing that has iron in his spine
Go on and skin that smoke wagon mister
Go ahead go ahead go ahead
Go on and skin that smoke wagon mister
skin it and see what happens to you
Your ear may still be burning by the way you've just been treated
Your pride may be in ribbons by the way you just retreated
You may want to get even and shoot me in the back
But you're 10 pounds of coward in a 5 pound bullshit sack
