You Bet Your Life

Just another hunter like a wolf in the sun

Just another junkie on a scoring run

Just another victim of the things he has done

Just another day in the life of a loaded gun

The odds get even, you name the game

The odds get even, the stakes are the same

You bet your life

Just another winner pours his life down the drain

Just another island in a hurricane

Just another loser like a cat in the rain

Just another day in the path of a speeding train

The odds get even, you name the game

The odds get even, the stakes are the same

You bet your life

Anarchist reactionary, running-dog revisionist

Hindu, Muslim, Catholic creation, evolutionist

Rational, romantic, mystic, cynical, idealist

Minimal expressionist, post-modern neo-symbolist

Armchair rocket scientist, graffiti existentialist

Deconstruction primitive performance photo-realist

Be-bop or a one-drop or a hip-hop, lite-pop-metallist

Gold adult contemporary, urban country capitalist

Just another gypsy with a plastic guitar

Just another dancer with her eyes on the stars

Just another dreamer who was going too far

Just another drunk at the wheel of a stolen car

The odds get even, you name the game

The odds get even, the stakes are the same

You bet your life
