Once bitten, twice shy
Eye for an eye can leave you blind
Unforgiveness, me oh my
That ol' me, myself, and I

Gossip in the courtroom
Singin' in the choir
Prepare, prepare to get burned
If you play with fire

Watch what you plant
Watch what you do
Sowin' and reapin'
Comin' back on you

Talk too much
Everybody says
Like a career
Reap it all in the end

It's right to be careful
Respect what God says
Cause Jesus will come
To judge the quick and the dead

Wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord
Love for my neighbor the end of discord
Everybody's fightin' for a piece of pie
But the oven is smokin' and there's tears in the eyes

God is true
Though every man's wrong
Pretend we don't get it
That's just playin' with fire

Sit in the back room
Call truth a lie
Prepare to get burned
If you're playin' with fire

Talk too much
Everybody says
Like a career
Reap it all in the end

Sit in the back room
Livin' a lie
Prepare to get burned
If you're playin' with fire
