Life’s a Hustler
Life is a shell game hustler
Who first lets you win win win
But as you stand there gloating with a grin
Life says
“You’ve got me beat but I see you still want in.
So double or nothin’ waddaya say?
Your good at this, how ‘bout one more play?”
“Sure!” you say as you lay it all on the line.
“I’ve done this before I’m sure I’ll be fine.”
Round and round the cups go
Where’s the ball
You think you know
Then life stops
And you make your choice
Up goes the cup
And so does your voice.
You see the balls not there
And you’ve just been took.
Life it seems is a hustler
a two bit crook.
With losses so big
What can you do
“Ah, that’s too bad”, Life says
“It shouldn’t-a happened to you.”
And after many, many years as you start
to recover,
Like an old friend Life comes to you again and says
“Wadda ya say? Ya up for another?”
