They say you crack your teeth on pearls
But I hope your bite breaks on steel coins
That line your pocket
For mine is filled with a pocket watch
To stay neat and tidy and right on time
Yours is heavy
With dirt and grime
From wicked jobs
And spreading crime
With any God
You'd be doing time
And I'd be there to visit you
With full-toothed grin
To turn the screws
And you can count that I'd have mine
A pocket watch
So I'm right on time
Never put faith in the wrong person.  Usually, if ALL your friends say they aren't worth your time, you should listen.
