Seven Days To Live Doesn’t Seem So Bad

I am going to take up smoking again
Bought fourteen packs of Marlboro
Full strength, all on my credit card

I am going to start drinking heavily
Bought seven bottles of premier Russian Vodka
Seven bottles of coke all on my credit card

I have booked seven of the finest prostitutes
All different ethnics all very expensive
No nasty ho’s all accepting my credit card

I have hired a professional chef to cook my
Favourite dishes, spared no expense
Caviar, lobster, steak, prawns all on credit

Just bought a sixty inch plasma 3D television
The latest Play Station and games, an I-Phone
A top of the range laptop American Expressed

Day seven having a big party, for certain family
Members and certain friends, making a certain punch
With a strong neurotoxin that paralyses its victims

Arming myself with my AK47 and seven clips
Those who refuse to drink the punch get shot in the head
Those who drink the punch get abused then shot in the head

Seven days to live and they’re going to be glorious
Sex, drink, food, gadgets and bullets all on credit cards
That I simply have no intention of paying, I’ll be dead

Will spend my last hour getting blown and smoking
Needless to say I will be grinning and laughing
As I travel all the way down to hell

A week to live is much too long
Each day we die anew
Why punish the guiltless in warrior song?
To death we bid adieu!
For Madame, we've paid, paid dear with our lives
Our blood in the streets, in their cup as he dies
A week? A week? I șpit on the claim
What facts of the spirit is supported the same?

None.

The sickened witch will feed her demon
Lost below her filthy pit
Filled with loads of filthy seamen
Scared and fragile doth she sit

Alone.

How Long Will It Last?

Return back to my house weary
Saddened by the news
Trying to lighten up a bit
But what's the use

In a space of seven days
All will be over
If there's one thing left undone
Is to be a better lover

To that lady who gave me her heart
Loving unconditionally
Who always had something give
But never received any

I know how deeply she loved me
I'm all she ever wanted
Right now I'm deeply sorry
For taking her love for granted

As I approach her trembling
The tears begin to flow
This reunion is slated for a week
Alas she doesn't know

As she forgives me completely
Takes me back in her arms
Tears of joy flowing freely
I savour her innocent charm

We make love passionately
And talk of all those times
When I strayed from her,adrift
And left her love behind

Deep within I feel so selfish
I sob harder and cry
For I've fallen in love sincerely
But in a matter of days I'll die

--The Payback Blues--
(You should know who you hang out with)

I knew this would happen,
I got life & you get off Scot free.
So I've been planning this for a long time now~
three trains over to your flat & two minutes inside,
that's all it will take to finish the job.

You seem to have forgotten chum, we tipped the rum bottle
many a times together, you & me.
Remember us, what we were trained for, combat buddies for life?  
But it seems you forgot your roots mate,
you left me out to dry, boots & all.

I know you're not even dreaming about this,
how you're life is going to end.
Well, I'll tell you how--it's going to be painful,
I'm going to slice your skinny neck & watch you gurgle on blood.
I'm going to watch you bleed out right in front of me.

You see, I figure, I'm already going to the slammer for
the rest of my natural born life.  What the hell, what's another life?
You set me up to kill your wife & now you want to fuck me over, too.
Oh yeah, I'm coming over alright, I'm taking the train over for some payback.
And tonight's the night for retribution.  If you only knew.

168 Hours

You have one week to live
What would you do with that week?

168 hours of breath in my lungs
What would I do before my time must come
Spread love like no one's business, sell all my stuff
Try at least one of every kind of drug
Sing a song live to a televised audience
Don't give a fuck if they're even applauding it
Travel the world and see all that I can
Bring home some knick knacks that show who I am
Record a project and hope that it sells
But never regret if it sits on the shelves
Give food to the hungry and pounds to the poor
I'd have parties in hotels on every floor
I'd admit my mistakes and accept my fate
with despondency lacking and smiles on my face
With a week left to live, I'd do all in my power
to savour my moments and not count the hours
My life has been wasted by wishing my time away
maybe a blessing to know of my final day
Before I must leave I must give you a message
Our planet is beautiful, please do not wreck it
Ideas are so powerful, don't let them hold you
Be wise to mistakes that history's told you
we must learn a lesson before it's too late
Or like me you'll be brought face to face with your fate
