Whoa___________ohhh

                                      
All the young adolescents with their phony ID
                                      
And the best dressed out lookin' for someplace to be
                
They're all listening to the gambler
                                
Who's too far gone too feel any pain

                                        
He says next to drinking gambling is his only vice
                                 
Then it takes him half an hour to roll the dice
      
He says he's a gambler
                                    
but he's barely got the cards for a game

                                     
Cho.. Then the gambler lays his money down
                                     
      Then the gambler slowly turns around
                                      
      And says I may be a loser but I play the game
                                              
      And this money says that no one here can say the same
                                                              
      Put your cards on the table, call the waiter for another round
                
      Call the waiter

inst....(Verse)


                                     
Well it's ablank cheque stacked deck life that he leads
                         
He loses what he wants & wins what he needs
                                                          
He says he's a gambler but he's barely got the cards for a game
                                                              
Well He says he's a gambler but he's barely got the cards for a game
                                                              
Well He says he's a gambler but he's barely got the cards for a game
