The Rules of the Game

If you’ve got a clever hand
You will never need a man
It’s trick or trade
Then twist the blade

If your eyes are open wide
You get to see what you can find
First keep them peeled
Then seal the deal

If they come to take you, you just turn your head and pray
Duck into the crowd and melt until you fade away

Set it up and knock it down
Let the top spin round and round
You never know which way it goes

Load the deck and deal the hand
They devil knows just where you stand
The odds are stacked he’s got your back

If they come to take you, you just turn your head and pray
Duck into the crowd and melt until you fade away
If you want to stay free, then just listen to me
The rules of the game never change

Your self-respect it cannot sway
If a little man must have his way
Just make him pay, day by day

The bargain is your luck holds fast
As long as you outwit your past
The quicker you go, the less that they’ll know

If they come to take you, you just turn your head and pray
Duck into the crowd and melt until you fade away
If you want to stay free, then just listen to me
The rules of the game never change
The rules of the game never change
The rules of the game never change

The music splashes through saucy guitar cabaret fiascos, circus tales, and murder revenge ballads. Listen for mature themes with a fearless grin and a knowing wink. A naughty pleasure, but not a guilty one- ... more
