You could say I'm a gamblin' man.
I make my money wherever I can.
I like to buy low and sell high,
and intend to do so until I die.
Mr. Market, he's such a hard master.
He gets you to climb aboard, then drives you faster.
He knows where you are vulnerable.
He'll bash you right under the table.
You're up one moment, then you're down.
He treats you like a stupid clown.
He's your pimp and you're his whore.
He's always got you wanting more.
Some folks they won't play the game.
They sit tight to avoid the shame.
But you can't win, if you don't take a chance
or appreciate life is one big dance.
Pull the lever, roll the dice.
Shake that pinball, slake that vice.
You won't drink from the lovin' cup
when your bones are broken and your number's up.
