Play it good

Please stop shootin' and start thinkin'
When you're lone against the world
Play it hard, but quit the plinkin'
Or you may end up in cold.

Beaten up, but you're still rockin'.
Devil whispers to your ear,
Try to flick away his mockin',
Shift towards a lower gear.

There's no need to play it dirty,
Bestow peace upon your heart.
Yes, you could become all sturdy,
But that's off your 'good guy' chart.

You could choke the purest feelings
And destroy what made you live.
Punches thrown instead of greetings,
Next you're screaming 'Please forgive!'

Smash the door or knock politely?
Second choice is what you'll do.
Break the glass or touch it lightly?
Once again, it's number two.

After massacre is over
There's no point in empty fights.
Fight the world, but stick to honor
Even through the toughest nights.

Lead the way, my fortune's soldier,
Try your best to change your fate,
Do not look over the shoulder
As it never is too late.
