Played

PLAYED (© Al Kryszak 2012)

Man, I’ve been played
Where's the trickle-down profit we made
I can't get sick 'till the day I'm paid
And I lost faith in the job creator.
Man, I’ve been played
Scary G-Man as a fat French maid
Church & country always trying to get laid
And fans cheering the wrong team.
I’ll stand in line with you
I’ll sleep the floor past visiting hours
‘Cause you’ve been played too
And we've been played through
Man, I’ve been scared
Years ago I couldn’t even have cared.
Now I’m aiming for the brave and fair
So don’t funk with the family ‘cause
You’re in the family.
I’ll stand in line with you
I’ll sleep the floor past visiting hours
‘Cause you’ve been played too
And we've been played through
Man, I’ve been hacked
When's the good luck supposed to trickle back
OK we're living in a crooked shack
But I still know right from whatever
I’ll stand in line with you
I’ll sleep the floor past visiting hours
I’ll keep the fire near water
‘Cause you’ve been played too.
