I know how it must feel
When nothing goes right
Unable to close the deal
Finish line just out of sight
Odds are against survival
Never been a betting man
Been living with this denial
Forgetting everything I can
Red flags are all around
Selling flesh by the pound
Got my back against a wall
Won’t be fooled again
House of cards gotta fall
Within this empire of sin
Lost amongst the weeds
I’m a victim of circumstance
Got lust for wicked deeds
Playing a game called chance
Many miles down the highway
Lady luck is stepping out
Outside the lines it’s just grey
Every instinct is casting doubt
Pipe-bomb about to blow
Still caught in the undertow
Casting stones at glass people
Won’t be fooled again
Seldom treated fair or equal
Within this empire of sin
