Tales from a rusty old town where the sunlight beats down
Dazzlin' lights yonder takin' gold by the pound
Shack down by the tracks, hat way down low
Ain't no lookin' back, guess it's time for the show
Chips in hand and a drink in the other
It's a one way ticket and he don't intend to suffer
The dream they sell, rags to rich
More like rags to rags c'mon lady luck
Tonight it's death or a buck
It's death or a buck!
Gotta gleam in his eyes as he thinks of the prize
That could keep all the trouble at bay
Somewhere in their lies, lies a deep disguise
But he just hides the worry away
So come join in on the fun, think not what you do
Come on in and plant the seeds of suffering, for a future you
They're givin' you that look, you know she lost it all, its through
The house always looks to cook, and you jumped in the stew
More like rags to rags c'mon lady luck
Tonight it's death or a buck
It's death or a buck
