Heads They Win (Tails You Lose)

A turn of a card may decide life or death You better take this lesson from me Some have it all, then a roll of the dice Can take them for everything Night after night you bet all you have Hoping you won't find yourself in a ditch More unpaid debts, snake eyes again! [Chorus]: The fever starts to take its toll You feel your blood begin to boil When the wheel starts to roll Don't be late to pay your dues Or you'll get your concrete shoes Heads they win, tails you lose. So let it ride and bet it all Given any moment you can win or fall The money you owe, the money you spent You're caught digging in the jar for this month's rent They've taken the car you don't pay your debts They're gonna foreclose on all the rest How did you get your life in this mess? [Chorus] The fever starts to take its toll You feel your blood begin to boil When the wheel starts to roll Don't be late to pay your dues Or you'll get your concrete shoes Heads they win, tails you lose. Take a good look as you bet your last buck It comes up tails and you're out of luck You'd better skip town 'cause your cash has run short You borrowed from loan sharks and didn't report Your name's on a hit list all over town The word on the streets is to bury this clown Your lease on life is about to expire The season's all over it's time to retire
