lyrics

Teeth or pedal, pedal or teeth
These options hang above my head while I'm underneath
Should I run? Should I hide? Or take the sword from the sheath?
Teeth or pedal, pedal or teeth

Chain or tooth, tooth or chain
There are solutions yet the problem still remains
When a Decider's two loves are Christ and cocaine
Chain or tooth, tooth or chain

Well I need to keep the strength up to fight
Part of me believes things will never be alright
'Cause you see

To my school I can't be true when education is a miss
To the right I won't be true, hell yeah, I'm a socialist
To my God, I can't be true because He's taking the piss
That leaves just one thing for me to do
It's to be true and ever loving to you
That leaves just one thing for me to do
It's to be true and ever loving to you
My aim is true, so true

Today I Saw Turtles
by Wckr Spgt

My friends in Wckr Spgt were kind enough to ask me to cover one of their songs for a tribute album on Shrimper Records. Their version of my song, "Honeycomb", is now how I'll forever hear this song! Phil Yates & The Affiliates
