[Verse]
 Cm
Rattlesnake said to the copperhead
       Cm
"You give us vipers a real bad name
     Cm
You prey on the weakest, in fact for no reason
    Cm
No wonder we get blamed"
 Cm
Copperhead laughed, said "Kiss my ass!
         Cm
You can bark but there ain't much bite
     Cm
You rattle that tail, but it's fear I smell
    Cm
I think you're shaking out of fright"

[Chorus]
       Cm
Rattlesnake, copperhead
               Cm
Either one of them'll kill you dead
         Cm
We stay hungry, they get fed
           Cm
And don't pass the plate around
       Cm
Lie by lie, cheat by cheat
      Cm
Venom in smiling teeth
           Cm
They just run those forked tongues
         Cm
And the whole world's burning down

 Cm
Copperhead said to the rattlesnake
         Cm
"If you ever wanna make it rain
           Cm
We could team up, be twice as tough
 Cm
Fear will be our game"
 Cm
Rattlesnake said to the copperhead
        Cm
"Y'know we were the original sin
       Cm
And I bet you my rattle against your copper
          Cm
That the b**ch takes the apple again"

[Chorus]
       Cm
Rattlesnake, copperhead
               Cm
Either one of them'll kill you dead
         Cm
We stay hungry, they get fed
           Cm
And don't pass the plate around
       Cm
Lie by lie, cheat by cheat
      Cm
Venom in smiling teeth
           Cm
They just run those forked tongues
         Cm
And the whole world's burning down

 Cm
Rattlesnake said to the copperhead
  Cm
"Ain't no way they'd win
           Cm
Cause the mice are sheep and the shepherd's asleep"
         Cm
And the copperhead said "Amen"
