Walked up in the bar, sat on the stool And got the low down the guy with the jewel He was playin' pool and he thought he was 'Cause he bet me five dimes, he could sink 'em his foot
He grabbed a stick, tried to kick it his heel Did a sick flip and ended up full kneel He squeal, but it looked like it hurt And it did 'cause he took me for my and my shirt

You could beat the system, you could your girl But who ya beat, come the end of the world? Imagine, everything you ever for, strived for Suddenly becomin' everything your die for
Now what'd ya for, nothing anymore, right? How could you live your whole uptight See everything you did and you seen around in the mud, but you couldn't come clean
