It's Friday night
By the city lights
Grab my baby and tell her it's time to move
Try'na make a livin'
For oppression's always given
I know it's wrong, but I just can't live that way
I got ten dollars down at the casino
I got ten dollars down at the casino
I got ten dollars, for a gamblin' man might know
Come down, take a look at the show
When you walk around to hear the sound of machinery-made magic
A man might sigh, or a man might cry, as the dealer pulls the line
Just come around and drink this glass of wine
I know this is sad
I know you are worried
There ain't anyway I could deal with the devil in a righteous way
And there's no one else to blame
For the events just carry out today
It could all be totaled in the grand arena
I got ten dollars down at the casino
I got ten dollars down at the casino
I got ten dollars, for a gamblin' man might know
Come down, take a look at the show
We can walk a mile and talk awhile
And meet up in the middle
My points to share to prove I care
Would be ten dollars more
Ten dollars more, right 'till the end
There's no easy way
As a wise man says
To hide away the sins for the goodness from today
The ace of spades
Will the darkness fade away
I have to work and eat, and give up to the social powers
I got ten dollars down at the casino
I got ten dollars down at the casino
I got ten dollars, for a gamblin' man might know
Come down, take a look at the show
