Song by This Piece of Poetry Is Meant to Do Harm<br /><br>

You've been watching over me<br>

Saying you're keeping me company<br>

I should be grateful, I suppose<br>

and compare you to a summer's rose<br>

<br>

You've been talking sweet to me<br>

about peace and loving harmony<br>

But I know what you say about me<br>

So now I tell you cause I gotta break free<br>

<br>

That I can't give you no false affection<br>

I can do without your phony charm<br>

This train ain't moving in your direction<br>

This piece of poetry is meant to do harm<br>

<br>

Please don't give me no warm reception<br>

What you call peace to me is a call to arms<br>

Some are singing to raise affection<br>

But this piece poetry is meant to do harm<br>

<br>

So with what shall I compare thee?<br>

Summer's clay or winter's sleet?<br>

You made a non-believer out of me,<br>

Now you ask for my sympathy?<br>

<br>

No, take your words and take your vows<br>

Take your flake-fuelled buddhist bows<br>

Let the cool winds roughly shake<br>

out all darling buds of fake<br>

<br>

I can't give you no false affection<br>

I can do without your phony charm<br>

This train ain't moving in your direction<br>

This piece of poetry is meant to do harm<br>

<br>

And don't you give me no warm reception<br>

What you call peace to me is a call to arms<br>

I'm not singing to raise affection<br>

This piece of poetry is meant to do harm<br>

<br>
