So they shot a man god damn
The cards fell outta his hand
Motherf*cker bet it all on red
Now the muthaf*cka's dead
So you learn to count to ten
Now you never think again
Spoon-fed wrapped in bandages
An unknown torso in a dumpster
So you like a gamble
Invest your life and close your eyes
It's all a game
Came here for a ramble
Life's a joke and death's a surprise
A smooth 21
Brought the house down
A bullet from a gun
Running through our town
Beaten, battered and abused
Didn't even make the news
Put his neck on the line
While the missile struck cloud nine
Claimed he did it for his nan
But the crooks wouldn't understand
Said she went through chemo
And he went to the casino
So you like a gamble
Invest your life and close your eyes
It's all a game
Came here for a ramble
Life's a joke and death's a surprise
A smooth 21
Brought the house down
A bullet from a gun
Running through our town
A smooth 21
Brought the house down
A bullet from a gun
Running through our town
And don't you f*cking take my horse again
