A Knife is For Life (2nd draft)

Put down the knives because your lives are worth more than that Kids are killing kids, mothers, wives & all o' that They've got all the chat, what d'ya call that? Coming with a blade or a bat & end up fallin' flat On their face in the street combat...& they call that "phat" Because they think they're this & they think they're that They think they're some kinda fat cat with the back-chat They need to whack that on the head Sooner or later all of 'emare gonnaend up dead I wish they'dlisten up & quit whilethey're ahead Instead o' bein' spread out on the concrete death-bed The death-bedthey call the street Where you can't rewind you can't delete & recomplete & cheat Or start again there's no repeatcos life's a life & there's no receipt Please don't make your parents lift that sheet.
