| You gotta play it cool, real cool
|
| You gotta let frustration be a friend to you
|
| And rejoice young man in your youth
|
| Said you gotta play it cool, real cool
|
| You gotta let misfortune be a friend to you
|
| And rejoice young man in your youth
|
| My best friend died tonight, he didn’t make sixteen
|
| So I’m gonna raise hell tonight like you wouldn’t believe
|
| From Paris to Athens to the Barbary heat
|
| Gonna take my revenge take it out on the streets
|
| Gonna burn down my house, gonna light up the sky
|
| If you’re killed by the cops you deserve to die
|
| I think I’m through.
|
| You gotta play it cool, real cool
|
| You gotta let frustration be a friend to you
|
| And rejoice young man in your youth
|
| Dancing to the killer sounds, killer sounds
|
| The rhythm of the gun, ammunition rounds
|
| Turn me on, turn me in, turn him loose.
|
| My best friend died tonight, he took his own life
|
| He fought a war but he survived, then couldn’t deal with life
|
| You’re a hero in hell but a problem at home
|
| A killing machine now stuck in the wrong hole
|
| You end up inside then out on the street
|
| You sold all your medals to make some ends meet
|
| Well thank you son!
|
| You gotta play it cool, real cool
|
| You gotta let frustration be a friend to you
|
| And rejoice young man in your youth
|
| Dancing to the killer sounds, killer sounds
|
| The rhythm of the gun, ammunition rounds
|
| Make the choice, turn him in, turn him loose.
|
| You gotta play it cool…
|
| Keep your head down brother!
|
| Said you gotta play it cool, real cool
|
| You gotta let misfortune be a friend to you
|
| And rejoice young man in your youth
|
| Cos it might not last for long… |
