Gambler

Trooper

All the young adolescents with their phony ID 
And the best dressed out looking for someplace to be 
Are all listening to the gambler 
Who's too far gone to feel any pain 
He says next to drinking, gambling is his only vice 
Then it takes him half an hour to roll the dice 
He says he's a gambler 
But he's barely got the cards for a game

Then the gambler lays his money down 
And the gambler slowly turns around 
And says I may be a loser but I play the game 
And this money says that no one here can say the same 
Put your cards on the table 
Call the waiter for another round

It's a blank cheque, stacked deck life that he leads 
He loses what he wants and wins what he needs 
He says he's a gambler 
But he's barely got the cards for a game
