Rattlesnake said to the copperhead
Cm
"You give us vipers a real bad name
Cm
You prey on the weakest, in fact for no reason
Cm
No wonder we get blamed"
Cm
Copperhead laughed, said "Kiss my ass!
Cm
You can bark but there ain't much bite
Cm
You rattle that tail, but it's fear I smell
Cm
I think you're shaking out of fright"
Cm
Rattlesnake, copperhead
Cm
Either one of them'll kill you dead
Cm
We stay hungry, they get fed
Cm
And don't pass the plate around
Cm
Lie by lie, cheat by cheat
Cm
Venom in smiling teeth
Cm
They just run those forked tongues
Cm
And the whole world's burning down
Cm
