Leave This To Real Men
Hide behind your pride.
Tell them that tonight is the day they all die.
Death is all around me.
Their just no way to get away.
Not tomorrow or today.
The man says i'm just trying to change my life.
As he gets thrown right back into captivity.
No good deed goes unpunished.
Hate the perfect lovers.
Cause they're just so god damn perfect for each other.
Let jealousy sliver right on in.
Its hiding right beneath the skin.
You just cant win with these feelings within.
The man says i'm just trying to change my life,
As grabs the knife and tries to stab someone.
Listen to me hes a dangerous man.
Here a plan get going run as far you can.
Leave this fight to real men.

Good Deeds
The right deed is a good deed,
Feathers are reclined on since birth.
One saying carries new meaning
For those who listen and create deeds.
A man’s heart implores goodness from the soul,
This is beautiful when his wishes are met.
The deed of the heart is a greater deed,
It is a highest deed, full of promise.
You are higher than this of course,
The cushions we sit on are relaxing
Due to your tallness and weight,
This is a secret of the soul.

A good deed here, a good deed there, a good thought here, a good comment there, all added up to my career in one way or another.

See off the worries
The deed on your accord may turn bad.
Curse not; the doing gave you pleasure.
The deed thrust on you may turn good.
Regret not the doing, the end in mind.
If the deed out of the will harmed
Ask pardon and repent till the end.
Then you will have beaten your worries.

The Act Of Doing Good...
whatever good that i do
i just do it
wherever that good deed goes
to hell or heaven
whether it falls to the hands of the
devil or to the wings of those angels
it does not matter
the responsibility is passed
to the port where
the ship has docked and
anchored its weight
meanwhile i shall do
another good deed again
simply because it is my nature
my essence
my duty and i shall not be hurt
anymore

Crumblin Down
Some people aint no damn good
You cant trust em, you cant love em
No good deed goes unpunished
And I dont mind being their whipping boy
Ive had that pleasure for years and years
No, no I never was a sinner-tell me what else can I do
Second best is what you get-till you learn to bend this rules
Time respects no person-what you lift up must fall
Theyre waiting outside-to claim my crumblin walls
Saw my picture in the paper
Read the news around my face
And now some peopkle
Dont want to treat me the same
When the walls come tumblin down
When the walls come crumblin crumblin
When the walls come tumblin tumblin down
Some people say Im obnoxious and lazy
That Im uneducated and my opinipn means nothin
But I know Im a real good dancer
Dont need to look over my shoulder to see what Im after
Everybodys got their problems-aint no new news here
Im the same old trouble youve been having for years
Dont confuse the problem with the issue, girl,
cause its perfectly clear
Just a human desire to have you come near
Want to put my arms around you
Feel your breath in my ear
You can bend me you can break me
But you better stand clear
When the walls come tumblin down
When the walls come crumblin crumblin
When the walls come tumblin tumblin down

Friends! ! !
A Friend is one who helps in need,
Mine are those who do good deed.
Share my feelings make me smile,
Don’t go away and stay all while.
Talk on topics good and bad,
Laughing together all like mad.
Together we study, together we play,
Always together walk on the way.
A friend in need is a friend in deed,
But I don’t know, what’s the need.
We friends are unite and together,
I wish every year we've a get-together.

Fell Deed
a fell deed this night,
in the silent dark,
a dagger flashes,
and blood flows.
a fell deed this night,
done in candlelight,
the knife does fall,
as the victim tumbles.
a fell deed this night,
only a slight,
to the killer,
who doth run.
a fell deed this night,
running he be,
through the slight light,
a corner he turns.
a fell deed this night,
a bang a shot,
a gun doth drop,
a killer killed.
a fell deed this night,
a new killer laughs,
an evil sound.
a fell deed this night.

Why A Deed Done To Do
A deed to do that has been done,
Is best left to be discovered...
Than to await to get approval,
By those who will debate...
Why a deed done to do,
With a doing...
To disapprove of the doer.
As the deed done goes undiscussed,
Not to be mentioned.

The italians are wise before the deed; the germans in the deed; the french after the deed.
If it is good then the deed is more important than the intention; if it's bad then the intention is worse than the deed.
Friendship
If you make friendship
With a good person
It is a good deed
If you make friendship
With a bad person
It is a bad deed
That’s why
Friendship with a good person
Can give you access to paradise
And friendship with a bad person
Can be responsible
For your punishment in Hell
Friendship with God
Is best of all friendships

Queen Gertrude: O, what a rash and bloody deed is this!
Hamlet: A bloody deed! almost as bad, good mother, as kill a king, and marry with his brother.

Whoever hastens to grow rich will not go unpunished.
Rather let the crime of the guilty go unpunished than condemn the innocent.

One should see the world, and see himself as a scale with an equal balance of good and evil. When he does one good deed the scale is tipped to the good - he and the world is saved. When he does one evil deed the scale is tipped to the bad - he and the world is destroyed.
