Poker

Life is like poker
Always take a chance
Sit down at the table
Hope for the best
God gives you your hand
But you can't look
In a few years shit opens like a book
Either a Royal Flush or you fold
That's how it goes
And what you hold in your hand
You'll never know
Eyes like daggars
Faces like stone
The game can haunt you right down to the bone
You're in it alone, there's no turning back
Even if you got an ace, queen, king and a jack
There's the joker
He always wants your money
Your life, he takes you for a sucker
He wants you to turn your back on what you built
Tear down your passion so it ends quick
Now I may not have the best hand
When I lay the cards down
But the fce I show can fool you til you're in the ground
As the game ends
You fold.
