Gamble gamble gamble
Everybody gamble
From the tv preacher
First grade teacher
High school boys neath the bleachers
It's a gamble son
Roll the bone
Sunshine fun
It's a shot in the dark
Gamble on who your guardians are
Can they walk the walk
Or did they steal your smile
Its a gamble
You gamble on your best friend
Do they need you enough to be honest
To be true
Will they turn on you cash in on you like poker chips
When they see a better prospect
Gamble that the night is safe
Where you live will keep you well
Will the bad guys buy or sell
Gamble, it's all a gamble
Will the cops be there for you
Or will you lose
Will your love bust on you
All your efforts be in vain
Spent on someone into pain
Just looking to hurt, to harm again
Gamble gamble gamble
Everybody gamble
From the tv preacher
First grade teacher
High school boys neath the bleachers
It's a gamble son
Roll the bone
Sunshine fun
It's a shot in the dark
It's a gamble just to make it once
And every next day
A gamble you can't win
Just the thrill of the game
Just the thrill of this game
Gamble gamble gamble
Everybody gamble
From the tv preacher
First grade teacher
High school girls neath the bleachers
It's a gamble girl
Roll them curls
Sunshine fun
It's a shot in the dark
Gamble on
One more time
