I will, I will split you in two.
Say, say move.
I strike quickly being moved.
You're all, you're all dogs,
Yes, you're all dogs of the house,
A weak, weak, weak, weak slave,
A weak slave that goes to the wall.
Be cause I, I am

A pretty piece of flesh, I am
A pretty piece of flesh, I am
A pretty piece of flesh, I am
A pretty piece of flesh, I am.

Go, go, foes can never measure to the crew as we roll on,
Blast the amplifiers in the back with the soul on,
A pretty piece of flesh, and yes, you better show your crest,
Shoulder holster strapped, I'm pull'in from the chest.
Guess who's gonna be the first to pull it from you.
But of the steel seal, representing Montague.
Love lorn, torn from two sides,
Thinking of dark skies,

And through the heavens I be seeing worlds collide.
Chi-chi-bow stars and bottle rocket fantasies,
But on the streets some knights and killers,
They be after me.

Trip-pin' with Ethel under moonlight skies,
But then you wake up in the danger zone in souped-up rides.
I'm dodgin' bullets and bang, it's hard to hand, doin' a hundred miles an hour like a video game.
Rollin' brick thick and diesel thinkin' nothin' can faze me,
With nickel-plated sword sling-in',
Living is crazy.
Stars collide, worlds divide,
What a pretty piece of flesh,
You are a pretty piece of flesh.
Stars collide, worlds divide,
What a pretty piece of flesh,
You are a pretty piece of flesh.
I am

A pretty piece of flesh, I am
A pretty piece of flesh, I am
A pretty piece of flesh, I am
A pretty piece of flesh,

I will, I will split you in two.
Say, say move.
I strike quickly being moved.
You're all, you're all dogs,
Yes, you're all dogs of the house,
A weak, weak, weak, weak slave,
A weak slave that goes to the wall.
Because I, I am

A pretty piece of flesh, I am
A pretty piece of flesh, I am
A pretty piece of flesh, I am
A pretty piece of flesh, I am.

Stars collide, worlds divide,
What a pretty piece of flesh,
You are a pretty piece of flesh.
Stars collide, worlds divide,
What a pretty piece of flesh,
You are a pretty piece of flesh.

    General Comment:In Shakespeare's day, "pretty piece of flesh" meant "well-endowed." Clearly the song writer got that, as this song opens with the raunchy boast "I will split you in two."

    General Comment:In the beginning of R&J, he calls himself a pretty piece of flesh when talking about the maids and what he'll do if anyone stands in his way, most of this is almost word for word from the play

    General Comment:title taken from the line in R & J where Sampson (a Capulet servant) is talking about himself being something special, trying to show off, this is at the beginning of the play

    obviously this has to have some kind of refrence to Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. Montague, love lorn torn from two sides, seeing worlds collide. self explanitory, no?

    im surprised nobody commented on this already! such a wacky wonderful song
