LYRICS
The rattlesnake said to the copperhead
You give us vipers a real bad name
You prey on the weakest, fight for no reason
No wonder we get blamed
Copperhead laughed, said, kiss my ass
You can bark but there ain’t much bite
You rattle that tail but it’s fear I smell
I think you’re shaking outta fright
Rattlesnake, copperhead
Either one of them, kill you dead
We stay hungry, they get fed
And don’t pass the plate around
Lie by lie, cheat by cheat
Venom in smiling teeth
They just run, those forked tongues
And the whole world’s burning down
Copperhead said to the rattlesnake
If you ever wanna make it rain
We can team up, be twice as tough
Fear will be our game
Rattlesnake said to the copperhead
You know, we were the original sin
And I bet you my rattle against your copper
The bitch takes the apple again
Rattlesnake, copperhead
Either one of them, kill you dead
We stay hungry, they get fed
And don’t pass the plate around
Lie by lie, cheat by cheat
Venom in smiling teeth
They just run, those forked tongues
And the whole world’s burning down
Rattlesnake said to the copperhead
Ain’t no way they win
‘Cause the mice are sheep and the shepherd’s asleep
And the copperhead said, amen
You give us vipers a real bad name
You prey on the weakest, fight for no reason
No wonder we get blamed
Copperhead laughed, said, kiss my ass
You can bark but there ain’t much bite
You rattle that tail but it’s fear I smell
I think you’re shaking outta fright
Rattlesnake, copperhead
Either one of them, kill you dead
We stay hungry, they get fed
And don’t pass the plate around
Lie by lie, cheat by cheat
Venom in smiling teeth
They just run, those forked tongues
And the whole world’s burning down
Copperhead said to the rattlesnake
If you ever wanna make it rain
We can team up, be twice as tough
Fear will be our game
Rattlesnake said to the copperhead
You know, we were the original sin
And I bet you my rattle against your copper
The bitch takes the apple again
Rattlesnake, copperhead
Either one of them, kill you dead
We stay hungry, they get fed
And don’t pass the plate around
Lie by lie, cheat by cheat
Venom in smiling teeth
They just run, those forked tongues
And the whole world’s burning down
Rattlesnake said to the copperhead
Ain’t no way they win
‘Cause the mice are sheep and the shepherd’s asleep
And the copperhead said, amen
